Be Good to Your Body

“In her most profound work to date, Jordan has taken historical biblical truths and translated them into daily, practical, healthy rhythms that, when implemented, will allow each of us to build and sustain the lives—and bodies—we really want to have. To the glory of God.”—Annie F. Downs, New York Times bestselling author of That Sounds Fun

“Another outstanding effort by Jordan Lee Dooley. Better than anyone else I’ve read, she asks and answers the difficult question ‘What is health and how do I get it?’ This book is guaranteed to improve your approach to managing both your emotional and physical wellness.”—Christopher Stroud, M.D.

“Today, as women, it can be confusing to know how to live healthy, embodied lives. It’s easy to swing from one extreme to another—or to stay apathetic because we’re not sure what’s true or best. Jordan invites us in with her own vulnerable story and sets our gaze back on Jesus. She cuts through all the confusion by offering wisdom and knowledge of how to actually live a healthy life that is attainable and full of freedom and joy.”—Alyssa Joy Bethke, author of When Do It All Is Undoing You and Satisfied

“Be Good to Your Body is groundbreaking, shame silencing, and grace filled. It’s anointed—instructing and encouraging us on every page to not just be good stewards of our God-given bodies but also to take joy in them. If you’re tired of worldly, superficial advice on your body and wellness journey, Jordan has the biblical wisdom and practical truth you’re looking for.”—Tara Sun, author of Overbooked and Overwhelmed and host of the Truth Talks with Tara podcast

“Our bodies are brilliantly designed by a wonderful creator. The human race has complicated this issue over time, but Jordan’s approach in Be Good to Your Body is simple yet profound: ‘What does Scripture say about it?’ This question should guide anytopic a believer explores but especially when considering what true health is (and is not). This message is so important in our social media generation: Tune out the noise and go back to the way God designed us to eat, think, and live. As a mom of six, I can confidently say this book will benefit all female believers who wish to honor the Lord with the body He has given them. The wisdom Jordan has gained through her experiences—and so graciously shared in these pages—will be a source of insight and inspiration for all who read this book.”—Elizabeth Parsons, creator, founder of Purely Parsons

“Be Good to Your Body feels like a late-night chat with a best friend. It’s a compelling conversation about how to counterculturally choose to put Christ on the throne of health rather than self. Jordan provides both a thoughtful reflection on her own journey and practical steps toward wisely stewarding our God-given bodies. You’ll set this book down feeling encouraged to be truly nourished—body and soul. And maybe . . . you just need a nap and a snack.”—Kristen Van Gilse, The OrganiMama

“With empathy, honesty, and grace, Jordan Lee Dooley not only guides us on how to steward our bodies well, but she also sheds light on why doing so matters a great deal. While directing our attention to the God who made our bodies, she compels us to live by a definition of ‘health’ that contrasts the variety of ways culture has defined it. Be Good to Your Body is timely, beneficial, and relatable. I am grateful for these words.”—Emma Mae McDaniel, author of The Girl in the Middle
