Editorial Reviews
Throw out the negative programming from culture about weight loss, body shaming, and career dieting. The Body Revelation brings the true transformation we need. I trust no one more than Alisa Keeton to bring this solid word and get us moving in the right direction. Lisa Whittle, bestselling author, speaker, and podcast host
Only Alisa could take the topic of pain and turn it into a triumphant message of motivation and movement―in every sense of the word. Inside these pages, you'll be moved by both her love for the Lord and her insight into how God designed our bodies. This isn't just a book to read; it's a book to practice. Michelle Myers, cofounder of She Works His Way and author of the Conversational Commentary series
Ever wondered why you can't "just do it" when it comes to a healthy lifestyle? Or why your hard-fought results don't seem to last? Alisa Keeton knows exactly how you feel―and in The Body Revelation, she serves up proven solutions. With a motivating blend of scientific research, biblical wisdom, and true-life stories (plus super practical action steps at the end of each chapter), The Body Revelation is not just a good book to read.

I've said for a long time that what happens in our souls, happens in our cells. We're fearfully and wonderfully made by the God who loves us!

You will need a highlighter!! There is so much goodness in this book! I can't wait to share it with others. Before reading it I didn't think it would really apply to me. I didn't have a traumatic childhood. I don't feel like I have "pain" from past trauma that I was holding in and needed to process. This book isn't just for those that have suffered Big T trauma it is for everyone! Learn how to seek God to process even daily stressors that can build up. Jesus said, "In this world you will have trouble, but take heart I have overcome the world." We will all face some kind of Stress/trouble but Jesus has over come that for us. We just have to let him. Alisa also says she wrote this book for our Children. She says " If we can teach our kids how to process Pain and Trouble they will be in great shape." We have to know how to process pain and trouble in order to teach our kids.

For years, I have fought body image with wanting to be smaller and God kept laying the plateaus down, he put a third kid that almost killed me and a hysterectomy in there and made it harder for me to strive for that “perfect body image”. What I didn’t realize is that the plateaus were because of toxins still in my body as a result of unprocessed traumas. My body and mind needed healing and this book came at just the right time! Then God blessed me with this book and being on the launch team to facilitate it too. You will learn so much, process and metabolize so much more trauma and Trauma that you didn’t even realize was holding your body back and then get to share that freedom with your kids and others. You have a great body, no matter how you think it looks and connecting the mind/body relationship and science behind it all is incredible.

My first taste of health and wellness was training for fitness competitions. The more I experienced that world, the more I realized how flawed the general perception of the meaning of health and wellness was. As a Christian, I knew there had to be a better (more sane) way to take care of my body (as well as my mind and soul). Then I found Alisa Keeton and Revelation Wellness. This has been a game changer, and The Body Revelation book dives deeper into the science (and creation) behind our bodies and how they work the way they do and why we may act or think a certain way. This book will help you change your heart (not just your body) in a way that, I know, I needed more than I realized. Definitely a must read for anyone struggling with loving their body, needing healing from all kinds of pain, and craving a deeper connection to the God that created our bodies and loves us and knows us best.

Alisa Keeton's new book, The Body Revelation, is perfect for the time we are in right now. Working from a place of rest and kindness, she takes the reader through what it looks like when our body is just surviving due to past or current pain and challenges. Then she moves through recognizing your pain, expressing your energy, humbling yourself, staying the course, and taking ownership. Every stage is intentional and well thought out with scientifically-based information and biblically-based moments to challenge your faith. She ends each chapter with a "Mind, Mouth, Move" section that allows you to practice what she is teaching, pray, and ask God for His guidance. Alisa reminds me of my favorite teacher in school by not only teaching but encouraging and believing in me every step of the way. The beauty of this book is how Alisa Keeton teaches and encourages us to move away from our past, our pain, and the unfiltered beliefs of our body image straight into the arms of God.

With great delight, I recommend The Body Revelation to you. This is such a good word being released into the world! It is like a balm for the souls of the weary and heavy-hearted; incredibly good news for all who feel stuck in bodies that don’t seem like a good fit. This book delivers gentle guidance and wise counsel from a woman expertly schooled and trained in health and fitness, steeped in the Word of God, and relentless in pursuit of truth. Alisa Keeton speaks life into hard and hurting places, becoming your coach, teacher, counselor, and champion for the journey. Every chapter is an integrated personal teaching & training session for body, mind and spirit. Read it to learn how to metabolize pain, banish shame, and step into the reality for which you were originally designed: healthy, whole, and free. I’m so encouraged by my own experience, working through this book and engaging the Revelation Wellness community, that I’m launching a book club. It’s just too good not to share! After a chapter or two, you’ll find yourself considering others in your circle who need this, too. One book won’t be enough!
