The Spiritual Dangers. How Yoga, Pilates and Church Commerce Betray the Faith
Description
Guarding Our Faith - Why Yoga, Pilates, and Church Commerce Can Harm the Christian Witness.In an age where spiritual wellness and physical fitness intertwine, believers must ask a crucial question: Are we walking in alignment with Christ, or unknowingly compromising our faith?In Guarding Our Faith, find a deeply insightful and thought-provoking examination of modern wellness practices, specifically Yoga and Pilates, and their potential impact on Christian life. With a clear, biblical foundation, this book peels back the layers of these popular disciplines to reveal their spiritual roots, and philosophical underpinnings. Yoga, deeply embedded in Hindu traditions, was never intended to be merely exercise. Its poses, breathwork, and meditation techniques serve as acts of spiritual alignment. Similarly, Pilates, while appearing neutral, subtly promotes a philosophy of self-mastery and inner power, ideas that can lead believers away from full dependence on Christ.Can these practices be stripped of their origins and safely adopted by Christians? Or do they carry spiritual baggage that dilutes the Gospel?More than just a critique, this book provides:A historical and theological analysis of Yoga and Pilates.A compelling argument against commercialising the Church through fitness programs.Engaging, challenging, and rooted in Scripture, Guarding Our Faith is a must-read for Christians seeking discernment in a culture where spirituality and self-reliance are often packaged as harmless exercises.If you care about keeping your faith untainted and ensuring that every aspect of your life, including your health and fitness, glorifies God, this book is for you.Open these pages and embark on a journey of truth, wisdom, and unwavering faith.
