Walters, Peter & Byl, John. (2008). Christian Paths to Health and Wellness. Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics. (This textbook grew out of several years of thinking and shaping various approaches to engaging Christian scholars teaching health and wellness in contributing to the writing of a textbook on health and wellness from a Christian faith integration perspective. Members of CSKLS and its board strongly supported this initiative providing workshop time at several conferences and assisting in networking necessary to allow this text to be written with critical input from the membership. Furthermore, the two authors contributed essential writing skills, up-to-date, empirical understanding of the current student population they were addressing, and cutting edge knowledge of health and wellness while bringing these together from a faith integrative perspective.
