Review Quotes

"A crucial antidote to spiritual and physical weakness, and an explanation of their indissoluble relationship. If you don't read this you're not going to make it - true!"

• John Doyle, Host of Heck Off Commie!

"We live in a confusing time and a confusing world in which the lines between the sexes are being blurred as never before. That has resulted in the blurring of the definition of manhood as well. How refreshing to read the work of a young man who not only believes men and women are uniquely different, but that historic masculinity is to be desired in a man. Paul has done a lot of research, from Plato to today, to put a unique perspective on manhood and physical fitness. I hope you enjoy it."

• Dr. Paul Brushaber, Pastor and Doctor of Ministries

"As a Christian father that exercises and works as a personal trainer, I have always believed that Christians should be some of the fittest and healthiest people on the planet. God has given us a wonderful gift in the form of a physical body and blessed up with health, leaving us the responsibility to be stewards of our health and bodies. In the church body or church community, physical exercise is rarely talked about and Paul raises a lot of points that are important to the Christian journey. Muscular Christianity captures some of the principles that are important to the Christian journey such as discipline and humility which the Bible encourages us to practice. Paul highlights the importance of exercise and maintaining a strong body in addition to walking with God and this is something that every Christian should rave about!"

• Nathaniel Agoye, Personal Trainer and Life Coach

"Amidst the modern fitness culture which tends to glorify self and idolize our own appearances, Paul Uponi encourages us to dig deeper and explore what faith in fitness looks like. He presses into how we can prioritize the glorification of God, and the stewarding of one's body in Biblical, theological, and practical ways."
