In a fun, engaging format, the book highlights biblical examples of machos, jocks, goons, wonks, slackers, airheads, and more. Through the biblical examples of characters who some would likely classify in these terms today, we learn what kind of people God has used throughout history to accomplish his plans. In Bible Freaks & Geeks we also discover that not only are people wrongfullylabeled today by such general and unkind terms, but that even in ancient times, humans exhibited the same traits that we see today. Readers will learnmore about the characters in the Bible, and also how to discern between descriptive labels and harmful stereotypes.Seriously Sick Bible Stuff—This book gives boys the lowdown on what living in ancient Israel was really like.

If not come up with a plan to make major changes. Track what is going inside your mind and body. Take time to get regular checkups, monitor your blood pressure, check your cholesterol, manage your weight, know your family history learn what to eat and drink. Cut out things that are damaging to your body and mind. It may have been better to not have touched, tasted, or handled certain things.
