9780800758110: Thin Again: A Biblical Approach to Food, Eating and Weight Management

Synopsis

There is a universal hunger experienced by every person--the God-given hunger for genuine intimacy, security, and significance. Unfortunately, instead of seeking satisfaction from God, many people try to fill the void with counterfeits like food. This concept is the basic message of Thin Again--now back in trade paper--and the main focus of Thin Within workshops. Using personal examples, Thin Again reveals how disordered eating is used to guard against emotional pain, and it unabashedly points to freedom through a relationship with God. Readers will be challenged to think about food and hunger in a whole new way and will live a more fulfilling life as a result.

From the Back Cover

Do you find yourself preoccupied with food? Do you eat when you feel depressed? Has food become your best friend or your worst enemy? Have you failed repeatedly in your weight-loss efforts? If you answered yes to any of these questions, Thin Again can help. Coauthored by the founder of Thin Within workshops, Thin Again goes beyond trendy, short-term weight-control plans to treat the root issue of most eating problems: We try to satisfy our souls, as well as our bodies, with food. As the Hallidays explain, we all crave intimacy, security, and acceptance. When these needs are not met, we often turn to substitutes such as food. Thin Again deals with the real, beneath-the-surface reasons we struggle with food, and it stresses the meeting of emotional and spiritual hungers. As these issues are resolved, you will gain a freeing perspective on hunger and food and will live a more fulfilling life as a result.
