Book Excerpt
It Began in the Garden
We’ve probably all wondered at times if there’s something wrong with us when we can’t exercise consistently or eat the things we know are good for our bodies. We’ve been struggling with this for a long, long time.
In truth, we were destined for this fight. We didn’t have a choice. Way back in the very beginning, Earth’s original inhabitants, Adam and Eve, did have a choice. And they didn’t make a very good one. With their not-so-great decision about a piece of fruit came the struggle we continue to fight today. We carry the pain and consequences of the baggage they left for us. They wrote the opening line of a story we can’t rewrite. That’s the bad news.
But there’s good news, too. Though we can’t change the beginning, we can write the rest of the story. We’ve been given the opening sentence of chapter 1. That’s it. We can choose a different middle and ending. Even if we haven’t written an ideal story so far or made great choices to this point, there’s still time to write a better one for a healthier future.
