The 30 - Day Faith Detox is an awesome book. Not only does it talk about your body, which most detox books do, but it also talks about your soul and your spirit. Remember that your body was made in the image of God, and He wants you to care for it. This wonderful book will help you obtain wholeness in 30 days.
Dr. Marilyn Hickey, president, Marilyn Hickey Ministries
We live in a world that is unpredictable. Life is real, and we all experience its ups and downs. Sometimes there are things that happen that can make us feel like we took two steps backward. But you never know what is just around the corner! In The 30 - Day Faith Detox , Laura has provided the tools for us to apply disciplines in our everyday lives that will help us to be able to live freely and promote health in our body, soul and spirit.
Pastor Beni Johnson, Bethel Church, Redding, California; author, The Happy Intercessor and Healthy and Free
Excellent readwell written, relevant, compassionate and empowering for anyone looking for physical, mental, emotional and/or spiritual renewal. This should be a very important contribution in helping a large audience looking for a detox from lifes many dietary, environmental and spiritual challenges.
Dr. Jim Sharps, N.D., H.D., Dr.N.Sc., Ph.D.; president and CEO, International Institute of Original Medicine
What we love most about Laura Harris Smith is that she passionately practices what she preaches (and writes!). She is a living model that The 30 - Day Faith Detox actually works and will result in ones mind being renewed, body cleansed and spirit healed. As senior pastors, we are eager to challenge our church family to embark upon this 30-day detox and experience afresh the wholeness Jesus paid for us to enjoy. Lauras encouraging, easy-to-read instructions and insights make this journey delightful and doable. We heartily endorse The 30 - Day Faith Detox .

Laura Harris Smith is one of the most talented, creative, fun and interesting people I have ever met. I am amazed by how she continues to prove that over and over. With smoothie recipes like Brain Boosting Banana Choco Chip Smoothie and The Bright Skin Blend, Laura is now sure to become the Smoothie Queen!
Paul McCulloch, franchise owner, Smoothie King International
Hooked from the table of contents! Ive read health-related detoxing books and materials for years, and Ive known Laura through her health trauma and her intense faith. I pray this will be a bestseller. We all need it. This book is excellent! I began reading immediately and have already started my detox!
Dr. Don Finto, founder and director emeritus, Caleb Company; pastor emeritus, Belmont Church, Nashville, Tennessee
Laura Harris Smith has knocked it out of the park. This book is a spirit-, soul- and body-aligner. I love its simplicity yet great depth. You wont be disappointed.

Dedication
To my father, Arlen, who taught me to eat colorfully and to age with a healthy body.
To my mother, Adair, who taught me that a decluttered house is a decluttered mind.
And to my husband, Chris, who attentively and tenderly guards and cherishes my spirit.
If only everyone could have the three of you in their lives this world would be a better place... body, mind and spirit.
