Eating disorders are underwhelmingly discussed, highly misunderstood, and rarely spoken about in relation to Scripture and faith. But even though the bible may not address this trial specifically, we can still look to God's word for wisdom, truth, and healing from the eating disorders that we, or the ones we love are battling. In a collection of faith-based devotionals, Kasie Padilla leads others through thirty-one days of heartening messages and applicable scripture inspired by her desire to open hearts to receive His truth and love, even during the darkest of days. Her devotionals touch on the peace found in Jesus, the truth that we are all worthy of His love, the impact relationships have on successfully progressing through hardships, the Holy Spirit's power that resides within all of us, healthy habits for healing, the motives of the heart, and much more. 31 Days of Hope for Overcoming Eating Disorders shares inspiring devotionals tailored to encourage anyone suffering from an eating disorder to find healing in Christ.
Eating disorders from a worldly perspective are a taboo topic. Eating disorders from a spiritual perspective seem to be not talked about entirely. I love this devotional because it helps break the chains that ED can have on so many people and their walk with Jesus. This book is for everyone - the person recovering from ED, the person in the middle of one, the friend of family member, the spouse of someone struggling, the teacher wanting to pray healing over a student, and so many more! This is an up and rising issue that the enemy is using against so many, BUT this book is the first to stop and stand ground against this problem. Kudos to the author for sharing her testimony and guiding so many people to freedom with scripture and truth. It is truly a groundbreaking devotional. I don't have enough good things to say about this!
This book is the perfect devotional is you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder. It’s a beautiful reminder that even if it feels like a taboo topic or isn’t talked about in most churches, God DOES care! He cares about you and He cares about the things we struggle with in this world. If you are desperate for biblical truth during your healing process, this is the book for you!
Living Life! Struggling with food is a difficult awareness. I found that with God, I can do anything. I feel that this book helped me face an uncomfortable reality with an amazing future.
If you are someone who has struggled with any sort of ED or body image issues this book will bless you. Love the theme of how worthy we are of Gods love throughout the whole book. Still go back to certain days of the study when I need to be encouraged and reminded of who God says I am.
