Healthy. Happy. Holy.: 7 Practices Toward a Holistic Life, Paperback/Joe Gorman

'Take care of yourself.'It's an encouragement we offer freely to others but often withhold from ourselves. Why is self-care so hard for Christians to embrace? Perhaps it starts with our view of God. Dr. Joe Gorman contends that God desires his children to live healthy, rested, and joyful lives. Healthy. Happy. Holy. addresses the whole of life, exploring the importance of seven practices that, when intentionally combined, become a routine Gorman calls soul care. These practices are a means of grace to us as we learn to enjoy the life God intends.

He was the senior pastor of Golden Church of the Nazarene in Golden, Colorado, for 21 years. He and his wife, Shelly, have two adult children.
