Why Christians Get Sick
With a diagnosis of colon cancer, George Malkmus launched an intensive biblical and scientific search to find out why he, a Christian, got sick—and to possibly find an alternative treatment to the medical profession’s usually unsuccessful ones.
Why Christians Get Sick by George Malkmus, is the most important book Christians can read, after the Bible. It delves into the questions of why we get sick, and provides the Biblical answers. With more than 150 Bible verses, this book clearly shows how we can avoid sickness and disease and experience superior health through a natural diet and lifestyle. People the world over have been transformed by the truth of the teachings found in this book.

1 Stars Unfounded claims!
A person with no scientific or nutritional background, by being a pastor decided to make claims about food and its consequence to the human body….very shallow and broad statements are made, and this books is not really much help to anyone trying to change their lifestyle and be more healthy! It’s actually annoying, as it takes so much time slamming all the bad stuff, and some good stuff the author considers bad….instead of talking more about all that we (christians or not) don’t do enough of…that’s why we get sick….Mr Malkmus…I’m not sure you’re an authority in nutrition and health to write this or any book about these topics!
5 Stars If you want to get well - read this book
Rev. Malkmus has written a book that needs to be read by everyone that wants to get or stay well. If you are searching for Truth, this little book will certainly start you down the right path to it. I have tried many, many diets in the past to get myself well and nothing really worked until I found out what was truly making me sick. God gave us His ultimate diet in Genesis 1:29 and believe me when I say, He knows what will get and keep us healthy. When you really think about it, God’s people should be the healthiest people on this planet, yet we are as sick as those around us who do not believe in God. Why? I firmly believe that most of us have NOT prayed that the Holy Spirit would lead us to the TRUTH. Yes, we pray for God to heal us, but we do not seem to want to do the hard work of getting ourselves well. God is not a magician. He has given us in His word how we are to care for our bodies but we want the easy way out by just downing a few pills instead.
Since I have changed to an all raw diet (done over several months), I feel wonderful. I have lots more energy, I’m more clear-headed, I’m also much more motivated to do things, I see better without my glasses, and best of all, I have no more aches and pains. But there is one caveat, you need to eat all organic to get these wonderful results. I know it’s more expensive, but can you put a price on your health? Do without other things. I am now able to afford organic because: (1) I do not need to buy supplements and (2) I don’t eat as much raw foods as I did cooked and yet I’m always full, and (3) I don’t have to buy expensive meats, poultry or seafood. And if you have a weight problem, whether over or under - you will level off at your normal weight, unless, of course, you cheat.
Rev. Malkmus has a wonderful website and facility in North Carolina that I would someday like to visit. He has many more books listed on the website, such as, more detailed books on how to do the program, cookbooks, and many, many, testimonials from people who got themselves well from some very serious and life-threatening diseases.
I have searched for over thirty years to find a program that would heal my health issues (hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia, exhaustion, poor eyesight, PMS, brain fog, fungal infections, Candida, constipation, diarrhea, short term memory loss, anxiety, depression, gum disease, tooth loss, hair loss, insomnia). I probably left out some issues but I think you get the idea that I was a complete mess. I pray that all Christians would find the Truth and “DO” the Truth. God knows it will not be easy for most, for the foods that are adulterated and manufactured by the world’s greedy food conglomerates are very addicting. But remember, these foods are NOT God’s foods. Eat fresh raw fruit and vegetables (including greens) - but be careful on the fruit if you have a bloodsugar problem. And it is best to eat a large variety of raw foods to make sure you get all your required nutrients. Please do more reading about raw foods if you truly want to get well. Blessings to all on your search for the Truth that will lead to health and God’s will.
5 Stars Why Christians Get Sick
Book is a gem giving facts and Biblical references to support the facts.
I read in one sitting but intend to go back and really study and apply during the second reading.
5 Stars good info is always a positive read
I recommend this book because very few books actually try to explain why we are in poor health. Many people miss the point and buy into the mainstream generalizations of why so many of us are having some medical problems. I am not a religious person, but found his book a good read because I think he is on the right track. I thank him for his contribution. So what if he isn’t considered a perfect writer like one of his critics noted.
1 Stars Why People Get Sick of Christians
This review is of the title only. I did not read the book, will not read the book, am completely put off by the title and can not believe that a professed “Christian” believes that he knows what makes Christians sick. One could make any number of strong cases for good health through proper nutrition, but the unmitigated gall of anyone who professes to KNOW the will of God in relation to why Christians (only Christians) get sick is evidence of a sickness of another type. I do not profess to have the education, knowledge or life experience to support that claim, just a gut feeling that no one, particularly a professed Christian, has the right to judge why any other person, let alone a Christian, gets sick. What cloud did you fall off of Mr. Malkmus.
Being raised Christian and having faith in the fundamentals of the teachings of Christ, I worry when ever any person supposes that they have the knowledge of God to help me do what they KNOW is right for me, my body or my spirit. At best you may have an opinion and to that I will listen. To boldly present one’s self as having the fundamental knowledge to write a book titled, “Why Christians Get Sick” is reason alone for me to run the other way. No doubt there are glimmers of truth, possibly even oceans of knowledge between the covers of this book, but anyone knowing why … exactly why … Christians get sick … Mr. Malkums, your elevated presumption of your own Christian values is what makes me sick.
