Searcy has taught us how to launch, grow, and sustain healthy churches, and now he and Henson share practical tips for attaining and maintaining healthy lives. The New You proves a timely book, as Christians are recognizing in increasing number the call to offer our bodies as living sacrifices (Rom. 12:1).

Personal health has the potential to be a troublesome and turbulent issue for many persons. In this book Nelson Searcy and Jennifer Dykes Henson truly offer a new perspective on Gods purpose for our health and wellness hardwired in an understanding of who we are in relationship to God. That makes it a refreshing and eye-opening read. Their practical and frank confrontation of the questions and unhealthy habits we often have encourages truthful reflection on how we serve as ministers and Christians. This is balanced brilliantly with the small steps to change, which provide motivation and are nonthreatening for persons who can become overwhelmed by just thinking about getting healthy.

I am forever grateful for my relationship with Nelson Searcy. I first came into contact with Nelson about nine years ago through his books and resources for churches and pastors. I decided to join his coaching network. Best decision I ever made! At that time I had been the pastor of the church I planted for nineteen years. We were a small church of about one hundred people. Since that time, through the coaching I received from Nelson, our church has grown to a church of over five hundred people, hired multiple staff, and built a building that enabled us to reach over 1,200 people this past Easter. We became a healthy, growing church. But the hard truth isI was not a healthy pastor. I was overweight, out of shape, stressed out, and headed for an early grave. Two years ago, I finally decided to put into practice the principles that Nelson shares in this new book, the same principles that he has been living and sharing with me through coaching. Nelson is right, it really is the small things, done consistently over time, that make a huge impact in every area of life. In the past two years Ive lost over eighty-five pounds and kept it off. I have more energy than Ive ever had and Im healthier than Ive ever been. I cannot wait to share this book with you! You really are one small step away from a brand new you! Thank you, Nelson! My wife and family thank you! My church thanks you! I thank you!

Pastor Chris Rollins , Coastal Community Church, Charleston, South Carolina

Nelson has been my friend and role model for ministry for nearly thirty years. I have witnessed him excel in every area of life from school to family life to church leadership. The principles that have helped him to be a good friend, husband, father, and pastor are shared in The New You in order to take you from an average life to an abundant life!

Its been said, if you want to know the health of a family, a church, or an organization, put a thermometer in the leaders mouth. In The New You , Nelson and Jennifer not only give the reader a checkup but they also give strategies for improving the most important areas of life. If you desire greater energy, clearer thinking, and spiritual vitality, this is the book for you.

Jimmy Britt , lead pastor, Rocky River Church, Charlotte, North Carolina

Nelson and Jennifer have done it again! Having known Nelson for over a decade, I have personally benefited from the teachings in this book. I recommend this book to everyone! And I think it would be a great book for small group study too.

Dr. Rick Mandl , senior pastor, Eagle Rock Baptist Church, Los Angeles, California

The New You is actually about reclaiming YOU! The YOU God envisioned... the YOU God created... the YOU God loves. In addition to physical health, Nelson and Jennifer delve into the spiritual, emotional, and mental dimensions of what makes for a healthy YOU. And thats where The New You really shines. Their holistic approach to your health provides insights galore and, at the end of each chapter, simple and specific strategies to help YOU reclaim more of what God intended for YOU all along!
