This
is a good book for those who want to have a body that gives honor to
God. Perhaps dieting has been a frustration. Maybe we wonder if there
is any hope.
I
like that Farrell has drawn our attention to the relationship between
our spirituality and our body. She encourages us to develop an
intimate relationship with God, allowing Him to change our hearts.
She encourages us to recognize God's presence when we eat. She also
writes about surrendering, praying for wisdom, responding to our
emotions, finding freedom, being healthy from the inside out, and
more.
In
addition to spiritual encouragement, Farrell gives information on
food and suggests what she calls clean eating. She encourages us to
reduce our intake of processed foods. She provides recipes too.
She
tells us her story, including her own battle with an eating disorder.
She had a life changing experience when she was confronted by her
sisters. That began her journey to understand how to have a healthy
body. She helps readers on that journey too, such as adding a Scripture reflection,
reflection questions, and a prayer at the end of each chapter.
I
recommend this book to those who want to understand how important
their relationship to God is when it comes to having a right attitude
toward food and one's body. Farrell has given me much to think about
and work on. She has also given me a good strategy and plan for
working toward glorifying God in my eating and physical condition.
