The Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life
2026-01-26 18:30 - 20:00 | Saint Ambrose Parish, 929 Pearl Rd, Brunswick, OH, 44212
The Daniel Plan
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The Daniel Plan is far more than a diet plan. It is an appetizing approach to achieving a healthy lifestyle by optimizing the five key essentials of faith, food, fitness, focus, and friends.
Unlike the thousands of other books on the market, this book is not about a new diet, guilt-driven gym sessions, or shame-driven fasts. Your path to holistic health begins here, as Pastor Rick Warren and fitness and medical experts Dr. Daniel Amen and Dr. Mark Hyman guide you to incorporate healthy choices into your current lifestyle.
The concepts in this book will encourage you to deepen your relationship with God and develop a community of supportive friends who will encourage you to make smart food and fitness choices each and every day. This results in gradual changes that transform your life as they help you:

Conquer your worst cravings
Find healthy replacement foods for the foods you love
Discover exercise you enjoy
Boost your energy and kick-start your metabolism
Lose weight
Think more clearly
Explore biblical principles for health
. . . and ultimately create an all-around healthy lifestyle

It’s time to feast on something bigger than a fad. Start your journey to impactful, long-lasting, and sustainable results today!
