I’ve been reading a number of great books lately. Two main categories: politics and nutrition. Here are the ones I’d recommend…

Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto by Mark R. Levin. One of the most read and talked about books at present - and for good reason. Man, is this interesting. If you ever wanted to have a clear understanding of the difference between conservatism and liberalism, this will do it for you. Highly recommend. Warning: you may get extremely agitated over what is happening in our country at present when you see through the lens of this knowledge.

New Deal of Raw Deal?: How FDR’s Economic Legacy Had Damaged America by Burton W. Folsom, Jr. Another bit of economic/political history with insight into recent events. Most of us have been indoctrinated with the idea that FDR’s New Deal brought us out of the Great Depression. Not only is that unsubstantiated, but it actually prolonged the depression. The most disturbing news is that Raw Deal II is now playing.

The Maker’s Diet: The 40 Day Health Experience That Will Change Your Life Forever by Jordon Rubin. I actually was given this book a couple years ago but never read it until now. Amazing. If you’ve enjoyed any books by Dr. Don Colbert, you’ll enjoy this as well. Jordan has an amazing personal story of health transformation and the education to make his claims credible. I’ve always believed that God as our Creator established natural laws pertaining to the health we all desire. Although Jordan can sometimes provide a bit more scientific information that I need, he’s extremely helpful and doable in his advice. His websites are extremely informative as well.

Toxic Relief: Restore Health and Energy Through Fasting and Detoxification by Dr. Don Colbert. It may not be good dinner table conversation, but I’m really interested lately in the value of detoxification. This is a great introductory book particularly in your interested in a biblical perspective in conjunction with fasting.

The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps by Brenda Watson. Another very popular book right now on detoxification. Not written from a biblical perspective but extremely informative.

The Ultimate pH Solution: Balance Your Body Chemistry to Prevent Disease and Lose Weight by Michelle Schoffro Cook. As you continue to read nutrition literature, you’ll eventually come across the value of maintaining the proper pH in your body. Most of us - because of our modern diet - have an acidic pH. Not good. Most sickness, including cancer, cannot tolerate an alkaline environment. Just by drinking water with lemon juice will make a big difference. Another book worth reading.
