Not for everyone!, October 14, 2003
This review is from: Fit Eternity (Paperback)
Hello, It's me Dr Little (www.rxwellness.com). When the Lord brought this opportunity to write Fit For Eternity, I prayed and asked for His heart for His daughters to be revealed. As I wrote, I prayed and stopped when I felt I was not writing what was on God's heart. The one thing every woman has told me that has read this book is that they saw a little bit of themselves in every chapter. That was my prayer. Of the hundreds of emails I have received, this is the common thread. The facts of weight loss are not that complicated and not every person is at the place where they can bake their own bread. This is one choice. For another person they may only be ready to choose salad at MacDonalds. This I believe is clear in Fit For Eternity. I call it the "grace diet". We have to start where we are. No one can tell someone where they can begin. It's not about the food, it's about intimacy with the Father. It's the "gotta do's" that are more stressful than the "what I dos". As we realize how much He loves us, we will see ourselves as He sees us. Then we can love ourselves and eat well not out of compulsion but out of love. The anxiety must end and love begin.

Not really a how-to book, but good examples, August 27, 2003
This review is from: Fit Eternity (Paperback)
Less of a how-to book than a list of people Dr. Little has helped physically and spiritually, there is little here to help the reader. The most useful aspect of the book is the collection of fit tips that end each chapter and the focus on eating unprocessed foods. The tips include nutritional and spiritual suggestions that help people to improve the health of their entire being. Healthy eating, natural grains, fruits, decreasing sugar intake, and other basic nutritional topics are explained thoroughly. After reading this book, readers will want to start baking their own bread and throw away the ice cream. All of these are great ideas. God's people should take advantage of the wonderful creation he provided and eat foods more closely related to those eaten by Adam and Eve. Processed and packaged foods lack the fresh taste of garden grown vegetables, orchard fruits, and hormone-free meats. Each chapter of Fit for Eternity contains a spiritual problem linked to a physical problem, Dr. Little's dietary and spiritual recommendations, and the results. Unfortunately, every human being's situation is unique. The dietary recommendations change for each person, which is great for Dr. Little's clients, but not helpful for the reader. A reader cannot pick an appropriate diet for herself. The spiritual techniques could be helpful for readers to use if they can discern the root of their own spiritual problems. Dr. Little's patients needed her help to uncover their spiritual problems and many readers will need outside help to locate them as well. Seeing the whole-body impact of Dr. Little's therapy is encouraging. Hope is out there, but most practitioners of alternative and holistic health techniques are not Christians. Reading this book proves that a combination of proper eating and spiritual health heals the body, but does little to fill the need for nutritional and spiritual Christian advice. --- reviewed by Terri Pilcher for Christian Bookshelf

Dr. Little-Perrson assists with overall health improvement, February 23, 2004
This review is from: Fit Eternity (Paperback)
What Dr. Little-Perrson is doing is simply miraculous. I am living proof of this. I saw bits and pieces of myself in many of the stories she told in her book, Fit For Eternity. Her comment about our constant chatter with ourselves occurs when our expectations don't meet our performances, brought me to tears. I knew I needed to contact Dr. Little-Perrson for assistance. I was sure that her support would help me to make significant changes needed in my life. My issues were never ones of weight, but of poor digestion, irritable bowel, low blood sugar, adrenal exhaustion, gall bladder and liver dysfunction, and poor sleep. Dr. Little-Perrson is a brilliant, Godly woman. Period. Her very thorough evaluations bring tremenndous results. Knowing that healing takes time, we are addressing one goal at a time. Nutritional deficiences are being replaced and organ and system dysfunctions are being repaired. Dr. Little-Perrson's book gave me the confidence to contact her. I could see how she was helping so many people in so many ways. Her book helped me to see that it was I who needed to be more disciplined with my overall health habits. I have done substantial reading this past decade about women's health issues, but had never found any doctor who could help me put the puzzle pieces all together. I was on a downward spiral to a major health diseaster. It is Dr. Little-Perrson who has turned this all around. At the very essence of living a balanced life is daily time and a daily walk with God. As Dr. Little-Perrson said in her book, we all need heart transplants in our lives---hopefully of the emotional kind. I hope this book does for you what it did for me. My prayers were answered in finding Dr. Little-Perrson. She is simply the vessel offering us the support that we need to our overall health improvement. The end result is a vibrant, healthy, balanced life---total wholeness in spirit, soul, and body. The choice is all ours.
