Stress is a hot topic in health and fitness today, and many people believe they have a proven remedy -- wrongfully so, says Dr. Suzan Johnson Cook.

She illustrates this with the following example. "One of my sister friends recently visited her 'energy therapist' who informed her that one of the reasons for her stress was that her body was moving ahead of her aura. In my own words, I would say that she was moving too fast, and her spirit could not catch up. That is my definition of stress: body and soul not in the same place at the same time".

Written specifically for women from a pastor's spiritual approach to stress, Too Blessed to Be Stressed is a fitness guide for the spirit through the blessings of God. "Blessings are gifts from God, which allow us to align our bodies with our minds and souls", says Dr. Cook. "This can become a way of life for you".
