Hunger Within: A Biblical Approach To Weight Management

by Arthur W. Halliday, Judy Wardell R.N. Halliday (Contributor)

What's the real reason we struggle with eating problems? We try to use food to satisfy our souls. 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 and engage in what the authors call "disordered eating." The Hallidays go beyond trendy, short-term weight-control plans and urge readers to allow God to satisfy their deepest hungers. Anyone who has struggled with weight loss or an eating disorder will benefit from this honest and thorough look at getting beyond the guilt and the ups and downs of yo-yo dieting. This revised and expanded edition offers readers updated information throughout and includes more study questions.

Amazing!

I am so glad I found this book. It is so biblically based in guiding readers to satisfy their “silent hunger” with God instead of food. And once done, to then find the source for lifelong weight management. I can hardly remember a book that has kept me so engaged and hungry to read more. I’m now better equipped in my endeavor to live free from the man-made rules for dieting. I am free, indeed.

An encouraging book challenging us to find our delight and satisfaction in God, so that we can listen to our body's natural hunger signals, and melt to the size God intends us to be.
