Hungry: Celebrating Life After Overcoming an Eating Disorder (English and Chinese Edition)

We are all born hungry. As soon as we enter this world, we are hungry. As infants we have an instinctual need that must be regularly addressed. It’s a habitual tug that makes us human. We need daily food to function, to grow and develop, it’s how we were designed. And as we grow older, we get the choice to decide what we do with that innate longing. For Caroline Cook, when her life and future seemed uncertain and anxiety crept into her core, she craved something that would allow her to feel in control. She found that in radically restricting her eating. Over time an unhealthy routine that offered her a sense of control turned into a very out-of-control monster of an eating disorder. In Hungry, writer, speaker, and teacher Caroline Cook, humbly and honestly shares the painful truth of where she once was and speaks of the freedom she found in overcoming an addiction that threatened to steal her joy and her life. Caroline feels called to tell her story to bring hope and light to others who are walking down a similar path. God created us to be hungry and it wasn’t by mistake. When we bring our hunger to Him, we are able to be fully satisfied and celebrate the life we have been given.

Caroline B Cook never meant to be a young mom, she thought she had way too much to do! But after falling in love with West at 22, she was married at 23, and expecting their first daughter at 24. Now they have been married for almost 25 years and have 3 almost grown daughters and one teenage son. Selling real estate, writing books, and teaching women about the goodness of God are a few of her favorite things. But she is happiest entertaining at home with plenty of friends and lots of Mexican food (and maybe some skinny margaritas).
