"Dr. Cooper tells us why belief in God can lead to better health and fitness. I urge individuals to give themselves the spiritual checkup prescribed by him in this significant book. . . . I heartily commend Faith-Based Fitness to you." --Rev. Billy Graham

"Faith-Based Fitness is a breakthrough book by a medical doctor to call our attention to the fact that all of the prescriptions for physical fitness . . . are incomplete and inadequate without the infusion of positive belief in God who created this remarkable organism and designed it to be a source of amazing energy--physical, mental and spiritual." --Dr. Robert H. Schuller, bestselling author of Prayer: My Soul's Adventure with God
