The book presents four basic diets evident from Scripture and cites a mass of secular authorities on nutrition demonstrating the value of such diets. Of particular interest was the section on God-given and not-God-given foods. Many common, and unhealthy, assumptions about foods are overturned.
The pros and cons of each diet are honestly considered and when necessary, strategies are presented to supplement the diets for the best health. This book is definitely for the person who wants to think through his or her dietary choices rather than accept someone's "formula." With this book, you are not simply told what to do but are also given the reasons why.
The book is highly educational on nutrition, and the information is given in a very easy to read format. What I personally found even more fascinating, however, was the comparison of the diets of these ancient peoples with the most modern scientific data. Surely, their healthy diets are strong evidence that they did indeed have a God who cared for them; for there was certainly no way they could have known of themselves, in such primitive times, to this astonishing degree what foods were, in the long term, healthy or unhealthy.
All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists

... Another writer again agreed with all my generalities, but said that as an
inveterate skeptic I have closed my mind to the truth. Most notably I have
ignored the evidence for an Earth that is six thousand years old. Well, I
haven't ignored it; I considered the purported evidence and *then* rejected
it. There is a difference, and this is a difference, we might say, between
prejudice and postjudice. Prejudice is making a judgment before you have
looked at the facts. Postjudice is making a judgment afterwards. Prejudice
is terrible, in the sense that you commit injustices and you make serious
mistakes. Postjudice is not terrible. You can't be perfect of course; you
may make mistakes also. But it is permissible to make a judgment after you
have examined the evidence. In some circles it is even encouraged.
