Our Bodies as the Garden of Eden

By Nicholas Branch

Wellness is not earned—it’s inherited.

In his powerful follow-up to The River: Seeing God and Walking in the Miracle, Nicholas Branch invites readers into a holy rediscovery of their bodies as sacred ground, designed for healing, connection, and divine presence.

Through vivid storytelling, scripture, and practical reflection, Our Bodies as the Garden of Eden explores how love and fear shape our physical health, how daily practices restore the fruits of the Spirit within us, and how God’s voice calls us back to wholeness.

This is not another wellness program—it’s a reorientation. A conversation with God. A return to the beginning.

Readers will discover:

* How spiritual connection impacts biology, from immunity to emotional resilience.

* Practices for listening to the body as a partner rather than a machine.

* Reflections that invite vulnerability, freedom, and joy in daily life.

* A vision of wellness rooted in God’s kindness—not performance or striving.

Perfect for readers of Christian spirituality, devotional writing, and holistic wellness, Our Bodies as the Garden of Eden is both a gentle guide and a bold invitation: to see your body as a temple, a garden, and a place where Heaven meets Earth.

For reviewers: This book is ideal for those who love works by John Eldredge, Curt Thompson, or Christine Caine, or for anyone longing for a faith-centered approach to health and wholeness that bridges scripture and science with warmth and accessibility.

This book may especially resonate with readers who enjoy:
* Christian spirituality and devotional writing
* Mind-body wellness through a faith lens
* Gentle invitations into healing, presence, and joy

Author’s Note to Reviewers:
Thank you for considering Our Bodies as the Garden of Eden. This book comes from my own journey of trauma, healing, and learning to see the body as sacred ground where God’s love dwells. My hope is that as you read, you’ll not only glimpse Eden restored—but also feel invited into your own story of renewal, wholeness, and divine presence. Your reflections and reviews mean so much, and I’m deeply grateful you’re helping share this message of love and healing.
