Wellbeing isn’t just a trendy, twenty-first century buzzword. It originates in the heart of God. This timely – and timeless – five-day reading plan is centred on God’s plan for your well-being. Dave Smith takes a holistic, biblical approach to living with shalom – wellbeing in every area of life – exploring six different but interrelated areas of our lives: physical, emotional, spiritual, relational, financial, and vocational wellbeing.

In this seven-day plan adapted from the book God’s Plan for Your Wellbeing by Dave Smith, we discover that God really does have a plan for our overall health and sets us on a course for a lifetime of ever-increasing wellbeing. Gleaning from the story of Elijah, Dave Smith highlights six key areas of wellbeing: physical, emotional, spiritual, relational, financial and vocational.
