This book really puts things in perspective and lets you be in control of food instead of food controlling you!!

I have gone through this Bible study twice by myself and once with a group of women at church. It is excellent in re-framing a woman's perspective on weight loss and the true motivation that one should have to lose weight. Brestin helps a woman focus on God and a desire to repent from sinful behavior and to find satisfaction in God and not in self-indulgence. The ability to lose weight permanently comes from changing behavior, becoming moderate, and asking the Lord to help. She teaches that if we learn to eat the Word of God and drink in God's faithfulness and love, our cravings for things that do not satisfy will be reduced. It was so helpful to me to remember that only God can satisfy! I lost 30 pounds through this study and, if I remind myself of the truths in this book and look to God for help, I can continue to maintain the loss and be healthier.

I ordered this book to learn how to eat in moderation. This has been very helpful, and the scripture very appropriate. She has you reading the Bible several times a day, a very good thing for me. I highly recommend it.

This book is a good tool for growing in Chirst and the Scripture memory verses plant truth in your soul. It is a lifestyle change that happens.

I lost 41 pounds due to what I learned in this Bible study. It was life changing, motivating, and caused me to focus on Christ rather than food. You are shown how eating can lead to sinfulness, and how to resist temptations. Brestin draws you into the Word, and you have great scripture to read every week. I would recommend this highly to any woman!

I lost 13 pounds after reading this book. It also helped me see areas in my life where I needed to be more moderate. I would recommend this book to any woman who wants a simpler life and a "diet" plan that makes sense. I plan to read this book again this year. It is a great book to read every January as we start a new year.
