Dominic Roma charismatically illustrates his journey from committing a gruesome homicide at the age of thirteen to becoming a productive, thriving member of society. There is an emotional health crisis plaguing our world that disconnects, destroys and deprives us from achieving our intended potential. Emotional walls have been constructed to defend against the ocean of pain and suffering in which we are drowning. The journey that you are about to begin leads you through a guided process that will transform the way that you experience your life and help you make the subtle shift from building walls to building bridges. We become imprisoned by the same emotional walls that were originally erected to protect us. It is time to trade in that false sense of security for the connection that we desperately crave. Embrace this opportunity to destroy the walls and seize control of your happiness by building bridges over which you can connect with genuine happiness. Decide to thrive!

Most people today acknowledge that the physical and spiritual dimensions of health connect somehow, but many Americans don't connect their lifestyle choices with their health, let alone their faith. In Vessels that Thrive, Dr. Ryan Bentley does what Thomas Edison said the doctor of the future would do: "interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease." As a devoted Christian he champions the biblical idea that the human body is God's vessel, and as an innovative physician he properly defines health in terms of thriving, not just surviving. Dr. Bentley cites solid medical research and engages the wisdom of God's truth in the Bible to challenge and encourage us toward a theology of wellness-health, healing, and faith-that synchronizes rather than divides the physical and spiritual aspects of the human person within our environment. He calls readers to embrace a gospel-shaped approach to healthy living that has the power to set us free from poor lifestyle choices that can account for seven of the top ten causes of death today in the United States. Written to help and inspire both the healthy and the sick, believers as well as skeptics, health-oholics and couch potatoes alike, this book offers something for every human being who desires to delve more deeply into why we should take care of our bodies and what's at stake if we don't. Dare to be different in your family, your church, your medical practice, your community, and the world!
