Health as a Virtue

Theology

“Taking those first steps toward a virtuous habit is daunting, but perhaps that's because we often take those steps alone or for selfish reasons. Melanie Dobson reframes the practice, demonstrating how forming a healthy habit can be the path toward greater connection with others and with God. Health as a Virtue is a very accessible and motivating read.”

This books passes on helpful wisdom and the comfort of shared experience.”
