The Dieter's Prayer Book: Spiritual Power and Daily Encouragement [Paperback]

Heather Kopp (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 13, 2005

Friendly Support.  Daily Encouragement.  Spiritual Empowerment.

Diets and diet books have never been more popular. At the same time, recent studies show that Americans have never been more overweight. It's no wonder, then, that women who are trying to lose weight--be it 10 or 100 pounds--are among the most frequently discouraged people around. Every day we are faced with fridge wars, bad mirror moments, diets that don't work, skinny friends who can eat whatever they like, and husbands who reminisce about the size 8 they married.

Yet victory can be yours. Increasingly, scientific studies are indicating that in health matters, prayer works--and in The Dieter's Prayer Book, you'll find that daily ounce of spiritual encouragement you need. Not tied to any one particular diet, The Dieter's Prayer Book can be used in conjunction with any healthy-eating program, or on its own. Each day, these upbeat prayers will remind you what really matters, make you feel less alone, and empower you to achieve your goal of healthful living.

5.0 out of 5 stars the Dieter's prayer Book, July 16, 2001

By 

Rosemary Carver (antioch, ca USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Dieter's Prayer Book (Hardcover)

Do you feel like you have no hope with dieting? Do you beleive in a Higher Power? Well my friends, this IS the book for you... I have read many, many books on diffrent ways of losing those extra pounds...I could never find lasting help. Oh, I would do well for a little while, but, then was back to square one! Reading this book, I have to only read one or two pages a day and find that it gives me focus - hope - and keeps me on track. You only have to check out the table of contents to see that where ever you are at...there is a place where you can go. So pick up a copy and receive the extra boost you need. For you're not alone on this journey!

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that can help guide you in honest prayer for dieting, September 25, 2001

By 

K. Gaskins (Near the sound, Washington) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Dieter's Prayer Book (Hardcover)

Struggling with diets, weightloss and working out constantly can be a battle. For the Christian dieter however, we are told to present all our requests before God. How or why would God care about that kind of prayer? I always felt it selfish, but knew I couldn't succeed even I didn't turn that part of my life over to Him as well. This book provides not only a daily devotion that can be applied to many areas, not just limited to dieting, but also provides earnest prayers that you can use for a basis of your own to turn selfish desires into a godly will. Not only will this book help you keep the desire and focus of not giving up on your weight loss program, whatever it may be, but it focuses your need on God and his importance over our struggle with weight.

This book is such a blessing to me. I'm only up to day 8 (their are 100 days worth of devotions and prayers) and I haven't over-eaten once. God is using this book to bless me. Please buy it, read it, and let God use it in your life. Giving God your eating habits and your size will be the best thing you can do for yourself. This book IS worth getting. Please buy it and find out for yourself how much it can help you. It's helping me. It's more than helping me, it's giving me victory.
