Contemporary efforts toward fitness are, by and large, rooted in vanity and self-interest. Here, however, authors Dan Burke and Chase Crouse reveal how your physical well-being can help energize your spiritual life and empower you to offer a more complete self-gift to God and others.
In this practical guide inspired by St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body and the evidence-based benefits of good health, you will discover how fitness and wholesome nutrition assist you in elevating and intensifying your journey to Christ. You will discover how to:
- Reject the enemy’s lies that harm your life and forge a plan to move toward wellness
- Implement a health and fitness plan with measurable goals, regardless of your age, state in life, or current health
- Lose fat and build muscle through achievable exercises and simple, sustainable workouts
- Create a healthy diet that you can realistically maintain (by adding, not subtracting!)
- Grow in asceticism (self-denial) to strengthen yourself in the pursuit of holiness in your vocation
- Optimize your sleep by creating a schedule that helps you wind down so you awaken refreshed and renewed
The authors’ goal is to help you develop a personalized plan that you will enjoy following regularly, as opposed to fad workouts that you will abandon. They also include a list of additional high-value resources for enhancing the spiritual, nutritional, and fitness strategies you devise.
In the words of St. John Paul II, “The future starts today, not tomorrow.” With this invaluable book, the road to a healthier, happier, and more fulfilled you begins now.

“Dan Burke and Chase Crouse have encapsulated many sound principles not just for exercise and nutrition but for living a fully Christian life—for living as men and women fully alive for the glory of God. Whether you’re just starting out in the spiritual life or well along that path, this book will help all who seek to live for the God of endurance.”
Fr. Mitchell Athanasius Brown, Sacred Heart Cathedral, Gallup, New Mexico
“The God of Endurance is a must-read primer for Catholics seeking to improve their health and well-being. Dan Burke and Chase Crouse offer an integrated perspective that sets their work apart from the typical health books that concentrate exclusively on physical wellness. This book provides inspiration, practical advice, and actionable strategies to help you embrace exercise and nutrition as part of your spiritual journey to ultimately gain self-mastery.”
Karen Barbieri, Founder, Pietra Fitness
“Comfort, one could argue, is the crisis of our age. The widespread avoidance of hardship—both spiritual and physical—has cast a shadow over the Church, her people, and the world at large. But Jesus Christ was never comfortable. He embodied the greatest act of love in history by pouring Himself out on the Cross, fully and painfully, without holding back. In The God of Endurance, Dan and Chase join forces to call readers back to this gritty and essential path—the way of Christ, who never ceased striving until His final breath. With wisdom and grace, they guide readers through the essential disciplines of staying spiritually sharp and physically strong. This book offers a practical blueprint for cultivating health, an ordered life, and an enduring, joy-filled soul. If you’re looking for a true reset—body, mind, and soul—this is your go-to manual. Highlight it, dog-ear it, commit it to memory—and start living it.”
Kevin Wells, Author, The Hermit: The Priest Who Saved a Soul, a Marriage, and a Family and Coached by the Curé
