Image Restored - Includes Six-Session Video Series (Paperback)

Paperback. This whole-person, interactive approach to body image includes coloring sheets, journaling prompts, and therapist insights that ground you in God's love and build you up in truth. Are you tired of being at war with your body--and with your thoughts about your body? Rachael Gilbert struggled with shame when she didn't measure up to her dream body image. Then, as a fitness instructor and licensed counselor specializing in disordered eating, she realized how many of us bury the same painful insecurities. But keeping up appearances is exhausting. We need restoration from the inside out. In Image RESTored, Rachael offers professional guidance, coloring pages, Scripture, prayers, journaling prompts, and a link to online teaching videos to help you experience true freedom. See your whole self in a new way as you learn: A biblical perspective on eating, weight loss, fitness, and self-confidence rooted in God's love. Counselor-inspired strategies to help you appreciate how God made you. How to reframe stories that formed your attitude toward your body. Tools for overcoming comparison and trauma. Ways to use thoughts and feelings so they help you rather than sabotage you. Rich with spiritual and therapeutic insights, this Christian body image workbook calls you to experience healing and wellness that starts with knowing God's love for you--mind, soul, body, and spirit. "Is there a struggle more universal than the one surrounding our views of our own bodies? Satan knows this is an easy target, and frankly, it's one that is not discussed very often in the Church. That's why I am so glad Rachael Gilbert wrote this book. I love how she mixes real-life experience with a biblical worldview and the expertise of a therapist. I believe there is such a need for this book right now in the Church, and there's no better person to write it than Rachael." --from the foreword by Robert Morris, senior pastor of Gateway Church and author of The Blessed Life Presented by Esther Press: Books for Courageous Women This interactive study guide includes a free QR code and URL to access all six videos, plus additional content for engaging study as a group or on your own.
