WORKOUT PROGRAM INCLUDED

What if the body and mind were not in opposition but rather negotiation? Both aid each other in the pursuit of human excellence. Muscular Christianity: A Case for Spiritual and Physical Fitness explores the benefits of physical fitness in a Christian's walk with God. It takes a holistic approach to physical, mental, and spiritual health. This transformative book seamlessly merges the timeless principles of faith, self-help, and physical wellness to empower you to lead a life of purpose, strength, and fulfillment.

This book will go over how the virtues and philosophy that flow from sports and athletics are important to a Christian. Those virtues connect with masculinity, and why they are sorely needed in the church and the broader Christian movement.

Reignite your sense of purpose, discover your inner strength, and embark on a journey of self-improvement that combines the best of faith and self-help principles.

Muscular Christianity: A Case for Spiritual and Physical Fitness is your invitation to lead a life of unwavering determination, profound spirituality, and unshakeable vitality. It's time to sculpt a better you—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Incredible Call to Action

Powerful book and a call to action for men that want to live out biblical Christian masculinity in all areas of their life. It spoke to me on a similar, if not greater, level than Wild at Heart spoke to me.

Great book, great listen.

Paul Uponi makes a strong case for personal fitness and personal piety. He has a real voice for radio, making this an easy listen as well.

Muscular Christianity

Loved this book…Paul Uponi explains in detail of what exactly muscular Christianity is and what it can do for followers of Christ, specifically men…He explains that is it possible to achieve masculine excellence and also be a Christian…He uses the lives of relevant figures of today and of the past, as well as scripture to highlight that our physical body should also be considered with the spiritual side in our walk with Christ

Great lessons for young men of any faith

Uponi gives great lessons for young men's bodies+minds. Sole problem is quotation voices sound strange.

Well done not essential

I got this audiobook for free: I was very impressed by Paul’s performance. I really enjoyed his clarity. I’m clearly older than him and am just looking for different examples than the ones he provides. You won’t go wrong with the listen though.
