Overview

Holistic Health encompasses far more than physical health, yet physical health is one manifestation of the meaning of 'holistic.' God designed us to be healthy and whole in multiple aspects of our earthly life experience. God created us to be holistic in body, mind, soul, and spirit. These aspects are connected and interwoven within each and every person. Whatever Is True is based on Philippians 4:8 in the New Testament. Whatever Is True is written to persuade you that the attributes listed in Philippians 4:8 are interconnected pieces of true life that show us what God desires of His people. In the scripture passage that forms the foundation of this book we are literally told what to think, and this admonition is for our good. Thinking differently means acting differently. When we alter our thoughts and dwell upon the list of attributes from the Apostle Paul, our results are no longer negative; rather, holistically positive and sound.Here's the scripture in Philippians 4:8, New International Version (NIV): Whatever is true, Whatever is noble, Whatever is right, Whatever is pure, Whatever is lovely, Whatever is admirable, If anything is excellent Or praiseworthy, Think about such things.How to return to holistic health? Begin with a commitment. This commitment is a choice that requires willing and complete acceptance and application of the Attributes of Philippians 4:8. The Attributes lead us to intentional alterations of our Attitudes. Fresh and positive Attitudes become the foundation of Christ-like Actions within us, impacting us and our world.We must have all three: Attributes, Attitudes, and Actions to make holistic health become a reality in life practice for us all. It's like a three legged stool. Each leg is necessary for the stool to be structurally sound and strong.How to begin: A return to holistic health starts with a soulful prayer. Your prayer might be: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." (From Psalm 51, KJV). The call is to return to Whatever is True. Be renewed. Be redeemed.
