Transforming

I took my mother to her very first Christian workshop in 10-98 to hear Sheri Rose Shepherd Speak and she was truly inspirational. We bought both her books that day, and took lots of notes. My mother, now deceased, truly felt a blessing during the day's event and I'll always remember the bond that grew closer because of that day. I still have Sheri's books on my bookshelf, not just to remember the day my mum and I grew closer, but to remember the wise words Sheri shared in her words and her speech. She talks about how God uses storms to get our attention, and how it's important to learn the lessons God intended for us to learn, how to forgive yourself--not just others, how to deal with your emotions, and how food effects our lives in both the positive and the negative. And finally, she talks about how we are gifts to the world around us. A very inspirational book.

Great Info, Bad Sound Quality

Like many people, I've suffered with an eating disorder. As a Christian, I knew it was time to stop turning to fashion magazines for advice and start turning to God. I was intrigued to find a health plan based on the Bible, and thought I'd give it a try. Shepherd's health philosophy is logical and well-researched. These tapes are sensitive, renewing, motivating, and applicable to life. In addition to food and eating disorders, Shepherd discusses emotion, anger management, marriage, and following your calling. As a result of these tapes, I've stopped dieting for human approval, and started living healthfully to honor God's temple, my body. I would definitely reccommend Fit For Excellence to any Christian woman who has suffers from an eating disorder or food obsession. Although hearing Shepherd's voice gave the book a personal touch unatainable in paperback, the sound quality left something to be desired. Poor editing made the book choppy and disjointed at times, which took away from the message. However, if you are able to get over this unfortunate flaw, you will thoroughly enjoy hearing Fit For Excellence, and gain the wisdom and knowledge that you may be missing in mainstream "diet" books.

Incredibly helpful. Nothing like it on the market!

Sheri knows what it's like to battle with an eating disorder and obesity. She is not only gorgeous on the outside, but her heart shines through with every page. This book is very powerful. It's perfect for the woman who is struggling with issues in her life, whether it be relational, physical, or emotional.
