BATTLEFIELD FOR HEALTH -SELF-CONTROL FOR A GOD-CENTERED LIFE
A foundational resource for your journey
Overview
Battlefield for Health is a faith-centered guide to building a healthy life from the inside out—body, mind, and spirit. Rather than offering quick fixes or rigid plans, this book invites readers into a slow, intentional journey rooted in biblical truth, self-control, and daily obedience.
Drawing from her unique experience as both a master potter and a natural bodybuilder, Cathleen Lerew offers a rare perspective on transformation. Whether shaping clay or strengthening the body, she has learned that lasting change is formed through patience, discipline, and surrender to God’s process. The same principles that prevent clay from cracking and bodies from breaking are the ones that build resilient faith and sustainable health.
Through powerful metaphors of digging, laying foundations, and adding bricks one day at a time, Battlefield for Health reframes wellness as an act of stewardship and worship. This book meets readers in real life—busy schedules, imperfect days, setbacks, and seasons of rest—emphasizing grace over perfection, purpose over motivation, and discipline as empowerment rather than punishment.
Woven throughout are Scripture, personal testimony, reflection prompts, and practical habits designed to renew the mind, care for the body with intention, and strengthen spiritual resolve. This is not a program to complete, but a foundation to build upon—one that equips readers to serve God’s purpose with strength, clarity, and endurance.
This is not a program to complete—it is a foundation to build upon.
