I am a First Place leader who completed this study in April 2002. My group of 20+ men and women really enjoyed it. Our group lost a total of 200 pounds this session, but many members have said that the thing they enjoy the most about the program is the Bible study. I've completed this one before, but this edition has been re-vamped recently with new content. I think the changes are great! The music CD included with the book is very helpful in memorizing the 10 Bible verses. The music isn't the best in the world, but it can still be a helpful tool. The book comes with the wonderful study, tear-out commitment records, wellness worksheets and more. The first Bible study "Giving Christ First Place" is still my all-time favorite, but this one definitely runs a close 2nd.

This is the second of the First Place Bible studies that I have done. I find it easy to use, not consuming too much time, but providing MUCH food for thought. I especially love the CD's that accompany the studies that help with scripture memorization.

I have completed 4 studies in the First Place series and this one has been the best for me. I am a First Place leader, with a group of 12. Over the past 4 sessions, our group has lost over 200 pounds. Everyday Victory for Everyday People changed so many things in my life. We can have victory in Christ - no matter who we are or what our circumstances. I loved the Scripture Memorization CD - even my pre-teen daughter got into it! I personally lost almost 15 pounds during this 10 week study. You won't be disappointed with it.

They've done it again. The First Place bible studies continue to be my favorites. I love them because studies are easy to do, each lesson takes about 5 to 10 minutes each day. But they keep you thinking & learning all day long! Plus the Scripture Memory CD helps you learn 10 verses throughout the study. This one had a bit more hokey-sounding music, it was still good though. I highly recommend ordering this study & looking into joining an actual First Place group.

Wow! This is an excellent study--the second I have done in this series. The first was okay, but this one addressed issues in my life and in the life of the rest of the group that we all needed to work on. Working through each day's section of the study only took half an hour, but it dealt in refreshing ways with the topic of spiritual warfare. The accompanying memory verses were very relevant. The first one kept me going throughout: "What I am asking you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach." This study is not so much about transforming your waist line as it is changing you from the inside (heart, attitude, thoughts) outward. Everyone in our group, without exception found these studies to be outstanding.

So far, I'm enjoying the First Place program and the Bible Studies. This is our second study, and while it's easy and keeps me focused on my goal of keeping Christ first place in my life, the second study is not that different from the first. They aren't real deep studies, so they're perfect for someone who's just starting a new routine of daily Bible study. Others might want to get something deeper to use alongside the First Place studies. EVfEP is a great follow up to Giving Christ First Place.

I thought that the receipes in the book were ok. I haven't tried all of them. I believe I misunderstood the book itself before buying it. I thought that most of it would be receipes but it was mainly a devotional through food. Not, what I expected.

This study goes with the First Place program. It is an easy study taking about 15-20 minutes/day. But the spiritual impact is far beyond the difficulty level or the amount of time spent. I can't recommend this program enough for a well rounded Christian--body, mind, and soul.

This book gives positive reinforcement to those persons participating in the First Place weight loss program. I recommend ths book to anyone who might be considering participating in the Christian based program.
