Made to Move is the most doable and real devotional book I have ever read. In it Wendy LeBolt offers daily exercises and activities to move users from talk about God to linking God with daily life. Tied as we humans are to our five senses, we need help to see a God who is invisible, to touch the truth of a God who is intangible, to hear a God who has no physical voice. This book offers six weeks of training in doing exactly that. Leaders of small groups will find in it a wealth of experiential exercises to help groups move from talk to embodying their prayers.

Scripture encourages us to love God with everything we have: mind, body, soul, and spirit. While many Christian devotionals engage the mind and spirit, the body often gets left out of the equation. Author and fitness expert Wendy LeBolt has written a unique resource that reminds us God created us to move. In Made to Move, LeBolt offers creative, accessible, and thoughtful guidance on nurturing mind, body, and spirit. Through scripture readings, insightful stories, and hands-on activities, Made to Move reminds us that we are a miracle, inside and out.
