Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge God, and God will make straight your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV)

Heads up: this fall, Healthy Living will be reading The Blue Zones by Dan Buettner!

What’s It All About?

From the author’s website: “Living an active, full life well into your 90s – and possibly your 100s – may be easier than you think. Longevity expert Dan Buettner has traveled the world to meet the planet’s longest-lived people in unique communities called blue zones, where common elements of lifestyle, diet, and outlook have led to an amazing quantity – and quality – of life. The nine powerful yet simple lessons he reveals in The Blue Zones can put you on the path to a healthier, happier life.”

This Fall, Healthy Living will meet Mondays at 10 am to discuss the book. We will talk about which strategies and regions are most inspiring. We’ll watch some videos, read the book, and discuss.

If You’d Like the Schedule For What We’re Reading When, Reach Out to Pastor Charley

We’ve got a reading plan that will take us all the way through to Christmas. You’re welcome to join in the fun. Read along and attend Healthy Living, or just read along. Charley will also be sprinkling concepts and strategies from the book in his sermons from September through December.

Buettner chooses several regions to study where people live longer. These are the Blue Zones, and they occur around the world. Ever been to Sardinia? How about Okinawa? Maybe California? Regardless, you’ll get common sense advice from people living their best lives. Doesn’t that sound like a great idea?

Next stop, Sardinia!
