Overview: Have you ever wondered if God cares about what or how you eat? Are you already convinced that he cares, but you’ve given up fighting this battle? Or you find yourself in an endless cycle of fighting for a while only to give up again? In this book, Elyse Fitzpatrick will help you to identify the destructive eating habits holding you captive, from rejecting God’s good gift of food to idolizing it (and everything in between). She strives to help you break the vicious cycle of emotional eating, surrender your desire for control, and suggests practical ways to move forward*.

Most importantly, she will point you to a God who created you, knows everything about you, loves you, and wants you to be free from your bondage to food—in whatever form that takes!

*This book is not a diet plan. While there is some practical advice offered toward the end of the book, this book (and the book club discussion) is primarily focused on inward transformation rather than outward. Dietary and exercise needs are individual, and we suggest that you seek your own counsel from a trusted doctor or dietitian.
