Praise for
BODY BY GOD
The Owners Manual for Maximized Living
by Dr. Ben Lerner

We were very pleased to have Dr. Ben Lerner associated with the US World and Olympic wrestling teams. Bens feedback during the teams training and preparation made my job, as a coach, much easier. Bens work ethic and energy put him in a success level of his own. Now, with Body By God, Ben is enabling others to achieve success by providing a complete blueprint that anyone, not just elite athletes, can follow.

In building a career and a family, we have learned how important it is to stay strongfrom the inside out. The key to a truly fulfilling life is to strengthen yourself physically, nutritionally, spiritually, and mentally. The principles Dr. Ben outlines in his book, Body by God, are simple, smart, and easy to apply to your life.

As a minister and professional musician for more than 15 years, I have struggled in the attempt to secure a healthy, nutritional lifestyle while traveling more than 150 days out of the year. Thank God for Dr. Ben Lerner! His Body by God principles, derived in part by the greatest handbook for living ever written, the Bible, have helped me to not only feel better physically, but to remember that God Himself desires me to be strong, well, and full of life (John 10:10, Jer. 29:11). This is no fad diet, this is a lifestylea revelation of health, hope, and happiness.

The Body by God concept that your body is by God and for God totally fits into my game plan, on and off the field. The exercise and nutrition program in the Owners Manual forMaximized Living will help me stay healthy and running for a long time. Doctor Ben gives great information about stress and time management, too, which will help me with two of the most important areas of my life: (1) Experiencing a powerful relationship with God; and (2) Maintaining a strong family life.

More than any other time in our history we are living longer, and the advances in science tell us that in the next decade or so there will be breakthroughs that will bring the average lifespan up to about a century. Sadly, while we are living longer many are living with more illnesses and diseases that are preventable or treatable. We need an approach to the life and the body that is rooted and grounded in the way our bodies were made to live. Of the many health care professionals I have been privileged to be associated with over the years, I have come to deeply appreciate and value the work of my dear friend and colleague Dr. Ben Lerner and his Body by God approach to health, wholeness, and well-being. Dr. Bens practical advice and personal life experiencecombined with running one of the top 2 largest and most successful chiropractic centers on the planet, precisely because of his Bodyby God approachmake this book invaluable to anyone truly interested in getting more years out of life and more life out of their years. In a day when so many drug therapies have numbed us to the real root causes of our physical conditions, this book offers a take responsibility for your life and health hands-on approach to becoming everything you were intended to become. You want to get in shape? You want to be well and feel great from head to toe and from inside out? You want to be fully alive with every step and breath you take? Body by God isnt just a book to read once... it is a book to live by for the rest and best of your life!

I met Dr. Ben Lerner at the USA wrestling training camps prior to the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta. Dr. Bens time spent with the athletes, his own experience in weight management and stress control, as well as his strong belief in God proved to be a great asset to the team. The physical and mental health of our athletes was a major factor in the US teams success in the Olympic Games and our first Gold Medal Team Championship with all major countries in attendance.

For both better and for worse, science and technology relentlessly continues to revolutionize our lives at a dizzying and confusing pace. As a result, there is a mounting need for simplicity, clarity, and truth. The best resolution for uncertainty is to understand and draw upon principles that stand the test of time and an ever-changing knowledge base. Recent history has shown us that often we must unlearn what we once thought was truth. But, in fact, it is a reminder that there is only one timeless Truth. It is within this context that Dr. Ben Lerner provides a much-needed lens through which to clearly view and maximize our health and well-being. With so much disease and stress and a significant lack of joy and peace in our lives, we forget that health, not sickness, is our natural created state. Body ByGod is an owners manual to both remind us of that fact and to teach us how to create a context in which our body, mind, and soul can thrive as God intended.

When I met Dr. Ben two years ago, I was about to give up my lifelong passion for sailing due to severe neck pain. Within weeks of following his plan for diet and exercise I was back aboard without pain and with incredible energy. Body by God puts it all together and provides the details necessary to understand the reasons behind his inspired advice.
