Justin Whitmel Earley is a writer, speaker, and lawyer. He is the author of The Common Rule, Habits of the Household, and Made for People, though he spends most days running his business law practice. Through his writing and speaking, Justin empowers God’s people to thrive through life-giving habits that form them in the love of God and neighbor. He continually explores both how physical habits are more spiritual than we think and how spiritual habits are more physical than we think. He lives with his wife and four boys in Richmond, Virginia, spends a lot of time around fires and porches with friends, and is a part-owner of a local gym.

As Christians, we too often pit divine grace against human agency, and the result is that we misunderstand both. Justin avoids this by framing the goodness of habits in a way that ensures they are cultivated in light of God's favor rather than trying to make them the source of it. And now, in this wonderfully practical volume, he focuses on helping God's people remember that our bodies are a gift from God. As such, he suggests ten practices that affirm our embodied existence in a way meant to cultivate love for God, neighbor, and even self. I'm delighted his practical wisdom can continue to help many of us put our theology into practice.
