Book Reviews of What Would Jesus Eat?: The Ultimate Program for Eating Well, Feeling Great, and Living Longer
Book Review: A Wonderful Education
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book a bit skeptical. The title is the only complaint I have with this book. If I were not led to read this book the title alone would have had me turning up my nose at it. Let me first say I am a Christian, and unashamed Christian, and being such I recognize the hype and abuse of the phrase What Would Jesus Do. And I would have disregarded this book because the title would seem to be playing off that hype.
However, I was blown away with the amount of educational material provided. I was encouraged by the scripture the author uses to back up his beliefs. Showing me through his reasoning he does not seem to be on a purely money making venture, that he has some true convictions. All of the information compiled in this book can be found other places. There is a lot of research out there to show exactly what the author shows in this book. But being inherently lazy creatures, who wants to go to all the various websites or other resources to compile this information when the author has already done so?
A lot of this information I already knew. But I had not gone so far in my research to pull out bible verses or to know what the life and times of the people were like during the time that Jesus walked the earth.
The presentation of this material is excellent. Some hard truths are in here and the authors suggested eating style will not fit the normal American's lazy approach to life, such as, making your own bread, eating whole grains and foods, avoiding processing, fillers and chemical additives. But, for myself I welcome the challenge to exert self-control in ways that will really govern how I eat and what I put into my body. Some things will not be easy to do, but then if it were easy we would not require self-control as a fruit of the Spirit.
To address some of the poor reviews, it is my opinion if you are not a Christian you will not enjoy something from a Christian point of view. It is also my opinion that the author here is not being "pushy" about his diet convictions but is only laying out the information for our edification. What you choose to do with it is, therefore, your choice. Finally, to address one particular poor review, it is just as presumptuous to assume Jesus ate nothing. What this author simply suggests, and I have to agree, is that Jesus, being fully God would not ignore his own laws given to his people. If you will remember, there was not mention in the Bible of relaxing the Levitical laws concerning diet until after Jesus was crucified. With that said. I do believe we are under grace and not under the law. It is not that Jesus commands us to eat this way. The author simply states his opinion why, according to scientific data to back it up, Levitical law had such restrictions on eating to begin with. Suggesting that we can have many healthy benefits from avoiding all the chemicals that is present in food today that is so unhealthy for our bodies. The only people who I can really see having a problem with this are those very companies who are reaping the fast buck in food production and marketing. Not to mention the various companies who promote their products.
