The knowledge you learn from books

This was and is a very special book as it is so healthy. The way to eat is really common knowledge but we have been bombarded by junk food in this country to the extent that we do not know what good really is. Our taste buds have been given bad foods for so long that it has changed our mind sets. Let us get back to good wholesome foods and get our health and lives back. Thank you J Hurner

A Gift

I received this book as a gift from a friend. I am one of those fortunate people who has never had to diet. So I was intrigued as to the purpose of this gift. I started the book, and found myself unable to put it down. As a "Life Coach", I quickly realized the purpose of this wonderful gift. I have many clients that face similar struggles as Cate. Their battle with weight isn't just about eating, it is about what is eating us. A great book, with many great lessons!

Speaks to me!

I think the author climbed into my life. The book resonates with truth and Cate (the main character) has her share of tribulations and comes out the better for it. I enjoyed this book - a quick, engaging read. Certainly on my gift buying list this year.

A truly unique book!

This is a passionate novel about a love affair we all have - with food. It's unlike any other book I've ever read. It's a wonderful story about a remarkable woman. But in telling the story, the author adds in a generous dollop of spiritual wisdom and then tops it off with fantastic recipes in story form. Is it a novel, is it a cookbook, is it a diet book - it's all three! The Diet is definitely at the top of my Christmas giftgiving list this year!

The Diet: A Novel

I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Diet. I didn't want to put it down. The story is so compelling that I just kept reading and reading to find out what became of Cate. This book isn't your typical fiction novel. There is a (sort of) love-hate relationship, a romance that is torn apart and another that is built both on the same basis. There is a heartfelt faith, tenderness and compassion woven throughout the story. It's a must read for any woman, young or mature.
