WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT CAL SAMRA'S WRITINGS

"I'll take Cal Samra's new book as a sweet birthday gift since I'm 73 today. I know that a lot of my vigor comes from 45 years of regular yoga, aerobics, and weight lifting. All the best with your new book. I would love to see a physically fit population." Humorist Patch Adams, M.D., Gesundheit Institute, Urbana, Illinois

"Cal Samra's book is like a documentary film in print. Inside this book is a treasure trove. ...if you are in the area of health and wellness, then this book is a must-read." Etta Dale Hornsteiner, Personal Trainer, Editor of LiveLiving Magazine

"Cal Samra's overall message is welcome. He challenges churches, asking if they 'have neglected Christendom's centuries-old commitment' to health and downplayed 'Jesus reputation as the Great Physician, ' who spent many of his days on earth healing people and teaching them healthy lifestyles." David Gibson, Catholic News Service
