Bishop Jakes truly delivers a masterpiece! I have struggled with my weight all of my life. I've always felt bound and as if my life was out of control. Now, I'm free! With lots of prayer and fasting, this book was instrumental in helping me realize where I had gone wrong... and what I need to do in order to live HEALTHY! No more diets for me. I've changed my lifestyle! Thank you Bishop. Keep 'em coming...

My life will never be the same. I now have the understanding on how to tackle this obesity problem that I have struggled with for 10 years. Jake's book was easy reading, encouraging and motivating. After reading 2 chapters, I started applying his message to my life. Christian or Non-Christian can benefit from his book and workbook. His principles for weight loss are simple. I understand how to discern between foods that will help me or hinder me from accomplishing my goals. Truly this is a great man with a great message.

CAREFULLY WRITTEN AND VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND.IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WTH WEIGHT,PLEASE READ.VERY ENLIGHTENING AND LOTS OF SCRIPTURES TO FOLLOW.VERY WELL WRITTEN AND ONE OF HIS BEST BOOKS YET.DON'T WAIT ANY LONGER GO OUT AND PURCHASE.I JUST FINISHED MY BOOK TODAY.TD JAKES LOOKS LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON.

Well, having seen this individual and his young son on the Trinity Broadcasting Network in 2006, I can say that neither of them has had any success whatsoever in controlling their weight. Jakes Senior is clearly obese and sadly his son (I am uncertain how old he was, possibly 12 or 13) was certainly morbidly obese for his age.

In short, while Jakes' advice given in this book may be valid, he seems a poor candidate to be dishing it out, as neither he nor his close family members appear to be able to either follow it or benefit by it.

Practise what you preach, Mr. Jakes.

SINCE I FINISHED THE BOOK, I HAVE BEEN WALKING AT LEAST ONE MILE PER DAY. IT HAS INSPIRED ME TO LOSE THE EXCESS WEIGHT I GAINED SINCE I QUIT SMOKING. THANK YOU, BISHOP!!!

I had been looking for answers from God on what scriptures to read regarding weight loss. Bishop T.D. Jakes's book "Lay Aside the Weight" was a blessing. Once you have began and quit so many times you allow the devil to win. I was one of those people who let him win...but thanks to Bishop Jakes's book, I have been able to overcome those bad health habits and SHUT THE DOOR IN THE DEVIL'S FACE! Buy it! You'll be inspired and moved to action! God Bless You!

Help me to realize that if you put your mind to it you can do anything through Christ Jesus who strengthens you.

I just bought T.D. Jakes' new book "Lay Aside the Weight" and I have been blessed already by it. I can't wait to finish it!

I love T.D. Jakes. Like all his books, this is very well writen and it seems like it should work but..if you look at the Bishop today you'll notices that he is quite a bit heavier than he was on the cover of this book. If it didn't work for him I doubt that it would work for me.
