Beyond Fit: Faith, Fitness, and Faithful Body Stewardship (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780802440099)

A better way: rooted in Scripture, grounded in grace, honoring women's bodies and health.

Our culture glorifies perfectionism in fitness and nutrition, often leaving women feeling guilty when they don't meet unrealistic standards. Bombarded daily with messages about clean eating, diet fads, and the latest weight loss hacks, it's no wonder women feel inadequate and exhausted, crushed beneath impossible cultural expectations.

Fellow friend and fitness expert, Kate Horney understands. After years of striving for the world's version of health, she discovered that while the world ties beauty and worth to a number on the scale, the Bible tells a better story. That's the story she's helped thousands of women rediscover.

This is not another diet or fitness fad--because real hope isn't found in the next health trend. Our hope and health are found in a person--Jesus Christ.

This biblically based book is for the woman who:

• Feels exhausted by perfectionism
• Longs for peace in her body, not just a smaller waistline
• Seeks strength and energy without guilt or shame
• Craves sustainable routines, not restrictive diets
• Struggles to believe she's worth the time and care
• Desires to honor God in her health and fitness

Beyond Fit redefines health as a life-giving act of worship. It helps women reconnect faith with physical wellness, not through rules or restriction but through renewal and redemption. Kate guides you through the essential rhythms of health, rest, exercise, and nutrition, while showing how hormones influence metabolism, mood, and energy. She reveals how caring for your body is more than a routine; it can become an expression of gratitude and a tangible way to honor God in your everyday life.

God has given you one body--beautifully designed and for a purpose. It's the only body you'll ever have in this life, and how you care for it directly impacts your ability to serve, love, and live out God's calling. This is your invitation to care for it with grace, not guilt--and to embrace the goodness of God's design.
