Thank you to LitFuse Publicity Group for providing this book free for my honest review.
Alright, I must admit, as much as I love Lysa TerKeurst, I was not sure I was going to like this book. I don't know why I was crazy enough to think this girl would just write some fluff about getting healthy, etc, etc. I just love her heart and it was so transparent here! She made some of the same comments/complaints my heart was speaking right there in the book. She owns them. Then she points us back to the One Who can ultimately help us in our weakness. She brought our cravings and food habits into the light of Scripture and really clarified with me that I have a spiritual problem not just a food problem. Love, love, love this book. So practical. Anything that pushes my heart to the feet of Jesus, is awesome. Lysa helped lift my eyes off of the food, perceived deprivation, the exhaustion that comes from working out and placed them squarely on the One they should be looking at. I highly recommend this book to both men and women. Thank you, Lysa, for your honesty and your heart.
About the book: Just because a woman finally fits into her skinny jeans doesn't mean she's won her battle with food. Too often, women overlook the spiritual component to their physical struggle with healthy eating. Made to Crave taps into the desires God gave you to consume food without letting food consume you!

Made
to Crave is the missing
link between a woman's desire to be healthy and the spiritual
empowerment
necessary to make that happen. The reality is we were made to crave.
Craving
isn't a bad thing. But we must realize God created us to crave more of
him.
Many of us have misplaced that craving by overindulging in physical
pleasures
instead of lasting spiritual satisfaction. If you are struggling with
unhealthy
eating habits, you can break the "I'll start again Monday" cycle, and
start feeling good about yourself today. Learn to stop beating yourself
up over
the numbers on the scale. Discover that your weight loss struggle isn't a
curse
but rather a blessing in the making, and replace justifications that
lead to
diet failure with empowering go-to scripts that lead to victory. You can
reach
your healthy weight goal - and grow closer to God in the process. This
is not a
how-to book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This book
is the
necessary companion for you to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle
plan
you choose. This is a book and Bible study to help you find the "want
to" in making healthy lifestyle choices. 224 pages. Companion Bible
study
DVD set also available. http://madetocrave.org/
