Quintessentially Quilly

Have you ever eaten until you were full — way too full — and still felt like your stomach was a yawning empty pit? Have you opened and closed cupboard doors, stood for long minutes in front of the refrigerator, and prowled supermarket aisles looking for the exact right food to fill that gaping emptiness?  Did you find it?

You didn’t did you?  Neither did I.  That’s because the answer can’t be found on our dinner plates. Made To Crave by Lysa TerKeurst is an outstanding book that is helping me look at my food addiction in an entirely new light. It is changing the way I think about food, which in turn is changing the way I eat.  It is a “from the inside out” process that has so far taken more recognition and prayer than it has effort.  If you struggle with a sense of emptiness even when you are so full you are miserable, you need this book.

About the Book:
Just because a woman finally fits into her skinny jeans doesn’t mean she’s won her battle with food. Too often, women overlook the spiritual component to their physical struggle with healthy eating. Made to Crave taps into the desires God gave you to consume food without letting food consume you!

Made to Crave is the missing link between a woman’s desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. The reality is we were made to crave. Craving isn’t a bad thing. But we must realize God created us to crave more of him. Many of us have misplaced that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures instead of lasting spiritual satisfaction. If you are struggling with unhealthy eating habits, you can break the “I’ll start again Monday” cycle, and start feeling good about yourself today. Learn to stop beating yourself up over the numbers on the scale. Discover that your weight loss struggle isn’t a curse but rather a blessing in the making, and replace justifications that lead to diet failure with empowering go-to scripts that lead to victory. You can reach your healthy weight goal – and grow closer to God in the process. This is not a how-to book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This book is the necessary companion for you to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan you choose. This is a book and Bible study to help you find the “want to” in making healthy lifestyle choices.[224 pages. Companion Bible study DVD set also available.]
