Customer Reviews

Awesome Book!

This book is easy to read and follow. I love how the questions really make you think about your weight control and Health.

Not just a book about losing weight!

This book is a comprehensive book about healing. The result is weight loss but that's not the goal. The goal is healing the pain that is causing the overeating, which is eveidence that the pain exists. The concepts and healing process that invites God into the process reminds me of another book called "The Search for Significance." The appraoch is similar and there are practical tools that you can incorporate into your time with God that can help root out the lies that you might be believing about yourself, about God and about how to live that do not line up with the word of God. A great read for anyone dealing with any kind of compulsion who is seeking healing.

The ultimate advice

This is absolutely the best book I've ever read regarding weight loss. Steve hits home with the reasons why you over eat and teaches you how to tackle them and win. Not finished reading it yet, it's one of those books I may have to read 2 or 3 times, so I don't forget anything. It will truly be a reference book in my library. Thank you, Carole

God given

I cannot impress enough how God given this Lose it for Life series is. Get the book, the workbook and the journal. They all work together. Well, you can use just one and still benifit but what a blessing to get all three.

Finaly a book that addresses the real issues!

I really like this book. It approached weight as the symptom of deeper issues. Addressing and overcoming those issues is what needs to happen. Your typical diet fails in the long run because it only changes what you eat. Not WHY you eat. If you run to food for comfort or emotional support you won't stick to diets when trouble comes around. This book is helping me to get real, face facts and turn it all over to God. I recommend it highly.
