Be Good to Your Body

The bestselling author of Own Your Everyday and Embrace Your Almost leads you on a journey of health and faith as you pursue wellness as a way to worship God without turning wellness into a god you worship.

“In her most profound work to date, Jordan has taken historical biblical truths and translated them into daily, practical, healthy rhythms.”—Annie F. Downs, New York Times bestselling author of That Sounds Fun

For too long, women have been caught in the relentless cycle of dieting fads and fleeting body-positivity trends, quick-fix weight-loss solutions, and intimidating lifestyle overhauls. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by society’s false promises and conflicting advice, you’re not alone.

Jordan Lee Dooley knows this struggle well. She has navigated the same confusing landscape, all while grappling with the constant feeling of never doing enough.

In Be Good to Your Body, Jordan invites you on a powerful journey of health and faith. She shows you how to pursue wellness as an act of worship to God, rather than making wellness itself an idol. Drawing on scientific research, Scripture, expert insights, and her own experiences, she reveals

● how to view your body as a God-given gift, not a project to fix
● the pitfalls of diet culture and self-love—and why neither extreme satisfies
● the biblical principle of stewardship as a path to holistic health
● practical steps and daily habits to align your health practices with God’s design

Jordan points you back to biblical foundations and the goodness of God, asking: What if the real solution to the extremes of diet culture and body positivity has been there all along, nestled in the pages of the Bible—the Word of the One who created our bodies and knows exactly what they need to thrive?

Discover the joy of honoring your body as you return to the good things God made for you as you embrace a wellness journey that nourishes your spirit and brings you closer to your creator.
