Mary Brickell is on a mission to keep folks healthy.
The long-time resident, who operated a health food store in Bradford West Gwillimbury for eight years, independently published the book ‘Awakening: Healthy Food for the Body and Soul’ on Nov. 5.
“I have been on a journey of writing the last few years,” Brickell said. “My two passions in life have been to help people to understand God's word and helping people with alternative ways to stay healthy. So, I’ve combined both of my passions in my book by writing devotional studies with related health tips and also added healthy recipes in the back.”
The book includes a combination of faith and health tips, with Biblical explorations aiming to inspire readers and renew hope. There are also 28 healthy recipes included, covering breakfast, lunch, supper and dessert, she said.
Brickell has been married to her husband Gary for nearly 50 years and they have four children and 11 grandchildren. She is also a chartered herbalist, is certified in several alternative health-care modalities, and has taught ladies Bible studies classes for more than 45 years.
The book is available for purchase in paperback and Kindle editions through Amazon.ca.
