Why Christians Get Sick

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
With a diagnosis of colon cancer, Rev. Malkmus launched an intensive biblical and scientific search to find out why he, a Christian, got sick--and to possibly find an alternative treatment to the medical profession's usually unsuccessful ones. What he discovered not only brought healing to his own body, but also answered Why Christians Get Sick.

Ingram
An episode with cancer led Pastor George Malkmus to consider such questions as why do Christians get sick, can people be free from physical problems, are cancer and other physical problems avoidable, and what can a person do to avoid sickness?

A wake-up call to Christians, January 14, 2001
Reviewer: A reader from Nebraska

People who condemn this book on a biblical basis are missing a couple of very important points. First, the foods which comprise our contemporary diets are a far cry from the foods of biblical times, what with the modern use of pesticides, hormones, preservatives, etc. Second, St. Paul very clearly states "All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify." (1 Cor. 10:23 NAS) Malkmus does not maintain that eating certain foods will send you to hell or sever your relationship with God, only that they will cause additional burdens of sickness and premature death. He accurately points out that Christianity has devoted itself almost entirely to the spiritual side of man while ignoring the physical side. Remember it was God who created the physical body and declared that His creation was good (Gen 1:31). All that being said, my most compelling reason for giving this book a favourable review is the fact that I have personally used the Malkmus program which has resulted in a level of personal health I never thought possible...as a man in my mid-forties I have regained the vigour of my twenties!
