God, Faith and Health by Jeff Levin Ph.D.
"In this book, Dr. Levin highlights the strong inverse correlation between religious commitment and blood pressure that was evident no matter what religion an individual chose to practice or his or her geographical location or ancertry."
"In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Jeff Levin explores the latest compelling evidence of the connection between health and an array of spiritual beliefs and practices, including prayer, attending religious services, meditation, and faith in God. Drawing on his own and other published studies, Dr. Levin shows how religion’s emphasis on healthy behaviors and supportive relationships influences one’s overall health and how the optimism and hopefulness of those who profess faith promote the body’s healing responses. Filled with dramatic personal stories, God, Faith, and Health will alter the way you think about your body and your faith and will show you the path to improving your own health through spiritual practice."
