So, you think you can make me and my 5 fellow weight loss class chunky's enjoy themselves while fighting back the fat? Fat chance, we said. Then, we read this book! A collective 60+ lbs later, we, in our newfound size 6,8 & 10 joyful bodies are still chuckling and re-reading this wonderful book. "Faithfully Fit" contains scripturally based curricula including anecdotes, daily steps and tasks, and tools for real change for health and true fitness. If you don't read this book, you are missing an opportunity to change your life. "Faithfully Fit" is a permanent fixture in my kitchen!

Claire Cloninger and Laura Barr have written a powerful "little" book about being "Faithfully Fit"....I began reading it each day and 17pounds later I continue to "reread" it....just wish it was for 365 days of the year. I learned so much about how to change my thinking. Not only on the foods I choose but also how God looks at us as "whole" people - body, mind and spirit. I highly recommend this book for motivation and "correct thinking" in acheiving the "Temple" God desires for us.

Maybe I'm the exception, but this is the first time I've ever thought about diet (not dieting but lifestyle) and exercise as a God thing. It's always been a me against myself struggle where I always came up short in the end.

It seems so obvious now that it's almost embarassing. God can do all things including help you move to a healthy life style in a supporting and loving way. The authors are ladies after my own heart. They clearly identify with same lifestyle issues I struggle with and write in a way that I get.

My mom and I did this together, long distance, and will continue to reread it again and again. It is that powerful and that good. A few months and 20+ pounds later, it's too early to truly say with certainty, but I think it's life changing book for me. I highly recommend!

This book is the most spiritual DAILY walk with God that you can have while facing the challenges of weight loss. Particularly helpful is the empahsis the authors place on sharing meaningful scriptures each day and suggesting that you MEDITATE on these scriptures each day and evening before bedtime, so that you carry the word of God around in your heart...the only place where God knows your true sincerity to HIM. This book really helps with successful Weight Loss by showing the power of God's word as your MAJOR SUPPORT. The journal they recommend you keep in conjunction with reading this daily devotional really strengthens your walk with the Lord as you CONTINUE to refer to it each day as well in your continued successful journey. These two authors are the REAL THING when it comes to understanding the GOSPEL TRUTH about WEIGHT LOSS!

I am impressed with this helpful book, as the authors identify with the reader's struggles, challenges and achievements. They also offer motivation in a positive way, helping the reader to depend on God and His Power. They avoid using guilt as a motivational tool, and for that, I am thankful.

My church is using this paperback for a Bible Study. The only thing is the Bible Study is during the day. I checked out the book, and decided it was something I could do on my own. I used it for 40 days during Lent. The book instructs you to make a notebook for notes..journal writing, prayer, scripture, food for thought. I recommend you do this also. Each of the 40 days you work through this book (which only takes about 10-15 min. a day) you will learn something new or come away thinking about what was stated that day. I have since ordered a copy of this and The Dieter's Prayer Book for each of my Bible Study ladies (and a few close friends) They have all enjoyed it. Buy this book! You will love it! Once I finished the book, I just started a second round.

If you are trying to be healthy and believe you need divine intervention to make this happen, this book will be a helpful guide. It is an easy read and highly motivating. Even without a structured diet plan, the discipline techniques presented will help improve your health. I have read a lot of health motivational books, and this is my favorite.

EXCELLENT BOOK. DAILY GUIDANCE;EASY TO FOLLOW. LEARNING TO TURN CONTROL OF YOUR EATING OVER TO GOD AND NOT RELYING ON YOUR OWN WILLPOWER. I LOVE THE BOOK TO HELP ME TO REMEMBER I DON'T JUST HAVE AN EATING PROBLEM BUT ALSO A SPIRTUAL PROBLEM AND I NEED GOD'S HELP. THIS BOOK SEEMS TO BE HELPING ME ALREADY EVEN AFTER THE FIRST WEEK!

I purchased this book to help me journal my journey of releasing weight. This book is a quick daily read and lots of tips of things you can journal. Even offers help with prayers in the area of weight loss. This is really one of the best weight loss books I have purchased. It is so simple when you ask God to direct your path. Go ahead and buy the book and enjoy the journey!

This is a really great book for a healthy, spiritual way to lose weight. It really challenges you to focus on surrending to God and stop relying on your own strength. I highly recommend it!
