The physical well-being and spiritual formation Hess, Valerie E. 1954- creator Arnold, Lane M. 1952- text bibliography Electronic books. ilu 2012 monographic eng 1 online resource (198 pages) "Through the wisdom of their words, through numerous probing questions and through embodied spiritual exercises, Hess and Arnold artfully show us how, in love and obedience, to present our bodies as living sacrifices to our Lord who sacrificed his body for us. In a day when the physical body is used as a tool for selfish pleasure or neglected as excess baggage on a more 'spiritual' journey, Life of the Body provides a sturdy corrective and a refreshing way forward. The hopeful result that the faithful reader can expect, along with the apostle Paul, is that 'Christ will be exalted in my body.'" -- Howard Baker, Denver Seminary.
