I like Stephen Arterburn and could stand to drop a few pounds so I decided to read this book. It is ok and it did get me motivated to lose some pounds but it is clearly written for people who are quite a bit overweight. It delves into the reasons behind overeating and how to overcome those demons. It also uses biblical passages to back up what is set out.

For me the most important thing I gained from the book is that you don't have to eliminate certain foods, just eat them in smaller proportions.
