More About the Author

Carole Lewis is the national director of First Place 4 Health, the Christ-centered healthy living program. A member of the original First Place group that began in 1981, she has seen the program grow from 12 groups in one church to thousands of members at more than 12,000 churches throughout the nation and in many foreign countries.

When Carole attended the First Place orientation in March 1981, she was unsure of where God was leading, but knew she needed to make some lifestyle changes. A chance meeting with a friend from her past gave Carole the impetus to determine she did not want to be 'fat and 40.' She joined a First Place group and soon lost 20 pounds. Learning how to bring balance to her life motivated her to become a First Place leader to encourage others to achieve their goals.

Carole became the national director of First Place in 1987, and is now a popular speaker and author of eleven books. Carole leads conferences, Christian spas, workshops and seminars with an emphasis on personal and spiritual balance, fitness, encouragement and temperament analysis. Her audiences know her as warm, transparent, honest and humorous.

Carole and her husband, Johnny, have three children (one deceased) eight grandchildren and one great grandchild. They live in Houston, Texas.

This bible study is excellent. It really helps you to see how you need to put God first in everything including weight loss. The price was great too since it normally sells for $19.99 and it was $13.59 at Amazon. I would highly recommend it.

This review is from: Daily Victory, Daily Joy (First Place 4 Health Bible Study Series) (Paperback)

I currently lead a First Place group and we are just finishing this study. We are already enjoying the new topic because who can't use a little reminder to focus on joy? As always, the format of the study guide is great - we love the memory verse CD, the scripture cards, the recipes (my favorite) and the tracking guides. This is a great program and each of the study guides is great, this is no exception. My group has told me week after week that this is one of their favorites since it keeps reminding us that hurdles can rob us of our daily joy, but getting back on track is a victory! There is no condemnation in Christ, which is a great verse to hear when you've stumbled.

This review is from: Daily Victory, Daily Joy (First Place 4 Health Bible Study Series) (Paperback)

This is the fifth First Place Bible Study I've done - some in my group say it's the best one yet. It is a helpful tool for group use and has questions for those who want a simple daily devotional as well as for those who want to go deeper into the issues that are holding them back from the complete submission needed for lasting weight loss and healthy living. I'd recommend it for either personal or group use.
