The Life I Live in the Body: Loving, Longing, and Living in the Body God Gave You

Many Christians spend our lives swinging wildly between idolizing our
body and despising it. On one end of the spectrum, we can easily make
too much of our bodies, fixating and obsessing over them. On the
other end, we make too little of our bodies, convinced they are in the way
of our best work. While we swing back and forth, our bodies are always
communicating something, trying to teach us about the One who made us.

In The Life I Live in the Body, award-winning journalist, editor, and author
Whitney Pipkin invites you to trade the idea that your body is an award,
accident, or impediment for a better and more biblical idea. Namely, she
invites you to receive life in a body as an invitation to experience a level
of delight and dependence that only an embodied Savior can give you.

This book helps you:
• Redirect and redeem your inner dialogue about your body
• Replace false beliefs about the physical body with more holistic,
biblical ideas
• Rediscover what it means to be human in an age of  
machine-like productivity
• And fix your eyes on a God who took on human form to be with you

If the human body was worth nothing, God wouldn’t have taken on
a human body in the person of Jesus. But he did. And that changes
everything about how you love, long, and live in the body he gave you.Read less
