“I learned at an early age in my career as a professional dancer that our bodies are vehicles through which we express life experiences. As a believer, I found that the rigorous training and discipline I underwent was directly connected to my spiritual growth, which led to growth in other areas of my life. Now, as the founder and director of a dance company, I oversee the development of emerging dance professionals and I observe the delayed progress of those that have these areas of their lives disconnected and the rapid advancement of those who have these internal connections intact. I’m thrilled that Mel Mills has put into book form a more complete picture of the holistic nature of us, God’s image bearers, in a way that clarifies the critical importance of connecting faith and fitness so we may optimize stewarding and serving.”
