My church recently read The Biblio Diet, by Jordan Rubin and Dr. Josh Axe, for our church book club. While I fully support living a healthy lifestyle, my radar goes up anytime I see someone trying to use scripture to support their research into healthy ways of living. This is because nine times out of ten, they are promoting a health-and-wealth gospel, the doctrines of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), or New Thought. And sadly, like so many other “Christian” health books out there, The Biblio Diet does just that.
This book is riddled with the false idea that we can command our bodies to be rid of diseases like cancer and that our negative thinking contributes to our lack of weight loss success. While the health tips in The Biblio Diet may be helpful, there is so much in this book that is not Biblical that I have to warn Christians to read it at their own risk.
Finally, we will discuss some other disturbing statements made by Josh Axe in his book Think This, Not That: 12 Mindshifts to Breakthrough Limiting Beliefs and Become Who You Were Born to Be. I will then let you determine whether it is right for you and your family to study these books (1 Corinthians 8:4-13).
