Good Book

Hey, ladies. I just wanted to post, I found this book I'm really excited about.
It's called: "Feeding Your Appetites" by Stephen Arterburn. I had never herad of it before, but happened upon it, and so far LOVE it. These are the quotes that attracted me to it:
"Our appetites are like fire! They can fill our lives with warmth, or they can become an uncontrolled inferno that is capable of destoying a career, a marriage, a soul."
"Did you know you were born hungry? We all were. And that's a good thing, according to authors Stephen Arterburn and Dr. Debra Cherry. We all come into this world with appetites - for food and drink, beauty and pleasure, sex and companionship, meaning and significance, and spiritual fulfillment. God created us that way, and He didn't do it to tempt or torment us. Our yearnings and desires are desgned to keep us alive, to draw us together in realtionhship, and to enrich our lives with pleasure and enjoyment. The trouble is, appetites don't always work as they were intended......."
So, I'm only 3 chapters in, but it's a smooth read, and it's really right on so far. Lot's of scripture.
So, I wanted to share, I would recommend it to anyone as an encouragement.
Have a good day.
I'll update when I'm done, if anyone's interested!

The author is also a host of a Christian radio program called New Life Live and its has callers call in for advice and he also has weight lose seminars called Loose it for Life (they are costly) I wanted to go.

Any way the program is great to hear i think they are based in California so i always here it prerecorded I always want to try to call in.

Its not only him its sort of like a panel of 3 or 4 people one women usually all Christian some doctors some Counsellors.. Some can be kind of funny ....


Anyway Hope the book is good. Please let us know. I will go purchase it.

Okay, so I haven't finished this book yet (Feeding your Appetites), got halfway through, it's great so far, but I leant it to a good friend who struggles with ed. So I will finish it after she does.
BUT has anyone ever heard of, or read, "Love to Eat, Hate to Eat", by Elyse Fitzpatrick? I am almost done with it and I love it so much I'm about to begin a book study in my church with 5 ladies who are trying to come in balance and recovering. They are all excited about it. Wanted to get some opinions, and also recommend it. It is REALLY scriptual and very balanced between truth and grace.
