Rebecca Lutzer is the wife of Erwin W. Lutzer, senior pastor of The Moody Church in Chicago, where they have enjoyed 28 years of ministry. For more than 30 years, Rebecca has been a pastor's wife and has used her gifts of hospitality, mercy, and teaching to minister to many women. She has taught Bible studies, counseled and discipled women, organized conferences and seminars, and spoken to women's groups. Rebecca was born and grew up in Dallas, Texas, where she attended Dallas Bible College. She is an RN and enjoyed working as a surgical nurse for several years. God provided numerous opportunities for her to bring comfort and peace to those going into surgery by sharing the love of Christ with them. It has always been Rebecca's passion to teach women how to grow in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. The heart of her message focuses on helping women learn how to live faithfully in the seasons of life, waiting for God to meet their needs in His time and way. She is the mother of three lovely married daughters and the grandmother of six adorable grandchildren. Rebecca and her husband coauthored "Jesus, Lover of a Woman's Soul," a book about Jesus' real relationships with women throughout His life--and how He changed their worlds.
This review is from: How to Say No to a Stubborn Habit (Paperback)
This book begins at the beginning, which is more than can be said with most "self-help" type material. Rather than trying to "patch the hole" superficially, Lutzer goes to the heart of the matter, addressing the reasons people fail to overcome bad habits. Actually, I don't consider it "self-help" at all. "God-help" is more like it. This book focuses on the practical principles of allowing God to strengthen you toward ending the habit. If you simply want a "quick-fix" to whatever habit you may have, you will be disappointed. However, if you are willing to read the book through to the end, you will find the encouragement and understanding we all need in order to fight the temptations that we all face. Lutzer uses timely illustrations and Biblical references that will usually make you say "Oh...duh, why didn't I think of that?" I HIGHLY recommend this short book to anyone interested in God changing his or her life in a dynamic way.

This review is from: How to Say No to a Stubborn Habit (Paperback)
I picked this book up on one of those turnstile book bins at the store. The one I picked up was a compact version and I don't think I expected much. However this is by far one of the best books. I personally picked it up to help me with an eating disorder of compulsive overeating. It could be anything though from a serious addiction to something small. It isn't just surface fluff which a lot of books on this subject are mostly full of in my opinion. So many books promise help but go no deeper than turn it over to God. How many times haven't we heard "turn it over to God and He will deliver you".. Well it isn't that cut and dry. How many times have we all sat in church and heard the pastor say that we just need to ask God for strength and we will be freed. For years I wondered why that just isn't working for me? This book is not fluff. It goes into depth and explains a lot on why we may not be getting the help we need or why we may not be accessing the power we need to help us. It is well worth the money and good enough to reread over and over.
