4.0 out of 5 stars First Place Choosing to Change, March 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Choosing to Change (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book if you are considering a closer relationship with Christ and desiring a life style change which includes weight loss. It gives you the bird's eye view of the First Place Program. The book has many examples of why the plan works. This book does not go into great detail of each of the nine committments. I especially wanted the exchange food plan; however, it was not there. I went on to purchase the hard back version which has the whole plan and the nine committments in detail. I recommend the hard cover version over this paper back if you are a serious reader.
