In December 1973, Rich Tucker visited me in Berea and I was so impressed with his knowledge of nutrition that I asked him to write this book. Two months later he completed this book and partial bench pressed (2" lockout) 1,000 pounds. Interviews with 300-pounders originally scheduled for this book were simply leftovers from an older course. In a nutshell, professional wrestlers took Metrecal or Similac with their meals to gain weight years ago but it's an expensive method. Send us a photo when you reach 300 pounds. Mike Brown, 1974

A lot has changed in the 26 years since the first edition of Biblical Nutrition was published in 1974.  Some corrections were made to the first edition, which had some typographical errors and a few sentences here and there were too outdated to include in this edition.  The addresses included in the first edition were also updated for obvious reasons. A table of contents was added as were some sidebars placed in boxes at the end of some chapters. Dianne Miller, 2000
