Honor God with Your Body

By Troy Louis

The book “Honor God with Your Body” is a book that helps the reader to know who they really are apart from who they may have tried to be. God has freely given everyone everything they need from birth and His desire is for us to use our talents, gifts, and abilities to our highest potential. To live a life free of comparing and trying to be like someone else. People may seem perfect on the outside but in reality they may be miserable on the inside behind closed doors. This book is designed to protect you from you and other bad advisors. To put the joy back into our minds about ourselves, so we can love ourselves again!

Troy Louis

Troy Louis the author of this book, “Honor God with Your Body”. A person that loves to encourage, loves to give to anyone a Godly solution to the problems that someone might have in the present time of their lives’. Writing is another way that Troy encourages and influences the people in and around his life. Most of his life he never had an interest in reading much less writing; however, in this season of his life God has put in Troy a desire to write and share with many God’s revelation and truth of life experience. In writing his second book, Troy wanted to share the Lord’s inspiration “ Not knowing my future in writing but definitely embracing it in the moment” the belief in chasing a passion with all of a person’s heart and soul with the Lord at the center of it.

CHANGE

S ociety is full of change. We desire to change a lot of things in our lives for one reason or another. We buy new clothes because we want to change. We buy new homes because we want to change. We apply for new jobs because we want to change, which is okay. Even God changes things in our lives for the good. Samuel 10:6 says The Spirit of God will come upon us and change us into a different or better person.
