Well meaning and with some relevant information, but largely out-dated in many ways. (Which is ironic because a Bible cure should be timeless, right?) The author uses scripture to back up the recommendations he agrees with, and believes science to concur with, while ignoring verses that don't gel with what he believes. For instance, he says we ought to consume lots of green veggies., citing Gen.1:29: "I have given you every plant yielding seed...you shall have them for food." So far, so good. I have no gripe here. Veggies are good for us, and I'm glad God made them and told us to eat them. But He continues, right beneath that verse, to cite Gen. 9:3 "every moving thing that lives shall be food for you..."
Here's the problem: every MOVING thing that lives obviously refers to animals, yet he goes on about majoring on vegetables and insists we should eat red meat only three times a month--although Scripture clearly doesn't say that. Basically, He ignores Gen.9:3 even though he cites it! And newer science proves that high protein diets can be more healthful than high grain diets.
This is just one instance where his belief system gets in the way of reading the biblical text ONLY for what it says.
It is nice to have a book that draws attention to what the Bible has to say about food, but don't take the author's "take" as gospel truth. His dietary recommendations aren't the worst I've come across, but I believe one could make a much stronger argument for a "paleo" diet based on scripture than his high complex carb recommendations. (He also says to avoid coconut oil--the healthiest oil besides olive oil-- and to consume canola oil! Again, old science, misguided recommendations, and certainly not found in Scripture.)

This is a great book and everyone should read it. I can't believe I had it on my shelf this long and only read it just now :-/
Dr. Cherry clearly and simply (healthy eating for dummies, so to speak) outlines what a healthy diet should include, recipes included.
He also shares the foods and other nutrients we should eat to help prevent as well as "cure" diseases that plague us today.

Even though I rated this three stars, I want to clarify that this is a book that I will definitely be hanging onto and using for reference. I am very excited about applying some of the principles that are discussed here.
The reason that I rated it like I did was because it really put me to sleep while trying to read it. Its a very short book, but the reading experience was not especially exciting. Granted the author is a successful doctor, so maybe writing is not his calling. Still I'm very glad that he did take the time to put these principles in a book so that it could be read by many.
The other reason is that I don't agree with some of his food recommendations. The Bible does talk about not eating animal fat. However, this author recommends low-fat everything. I doubt that in Biblical times they had the technology to remove the fat from naturally occurring foods like milk and eggs. In today's food preparation, when the fat is removed, it's usually replaced with something artificial which I choose not to consume.
That being said, I believe that the Biblical principles of the book are sound. But I'm afraid that the author bought into the teaching of the late 20th century that tried to tell us that all fat was bad.
Can you tell that I'm a fan of Keto?

Definitely not a book you read and then say you've read it ... I keep.going back to it.if only for insights to broaden my own understanding. A good read if you're looking for a different perspective or new knowledge.
