Body Teaches the Soul

Justin Whitmel Earley's 'The Body Teaches the Soul' explores the profound connection between our physical habits and spiritual formation, arguing that our bodies are not merely vessels but integral to our discipleship.

The book challenges the Gnostic separation of the material and divine, emphasizing the importance of everyday physical practices such as eating, sleeping, resting, and moving.

It highlights the link between physical health and mental well-being, advocating for a balanced approach to self-care.

Earley encourages readers to view their bodies as gardens, tending to them with intentionality and care.

The book promotes faithful stewardship of our physical selves, aligning our habits with a life of love and service to God and others.
