Love Food & Live Well

Chantel Hobbs is wonderful.
I have been over weight all of my life.  I have played the diet rollercoaster most of my life.  I can't wait to see the results that I get from implementing Chantel's advice.
Not only does she touch on the obvious, but I had never thought of putting a name to my obesity.  Eating disorder. 
I realize now that I not only have an eating disorder, but a control problem to boot.  I look forward to letting go and letting God... I never thought to let God help me with this problem, I just thought it was something I had to learn to control.
Like any other addiction, I have to remember to choose each day to stick to "The Deal" and make a conscious effort to live healthy.  I don't have to completely give up the foods that I like to eat.
I believe this book is not only for those of us who are over weight, but also for those who have any type of eating disorder.
Please read this book with an open mind and heart.

Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes

Super read. 
Robin Jones Gunn has a made me feel like I was riding down the Amsterdam canal with Summer and Noel. 
Even though Summer's reason for her impromptu trip was a bit scary, she and Noelle brought both laughter and tears to this wonderful story.
I would recommend this book to anyone whether or not they are faced with a medical scare such as cancer or not.  My husband allowed me to read it to him and he actually got caught up in the story and would ask me what was going on with the girls when I was reading without him with me.  I even had to go back and read a couple of chapters to him to keep him up to speed.
I can't wait to read more of Robin's sisterchick books.

Very inspirational

"Plain Wisdom" by Cindy Woodsmall and Miriam Flaud

These are two women I think I would really like to meet.  They have reintroduced the Lover of my soul to me once again.
I have know God for a while now and thought I had established a decent relationship with him.  However, they have helped me see the areas in which I need to focus on Him more, and me less.
This is a book that has re-awakened in me the need to get closer to God and look at things around me with new eyes, realizing that I am not perfect and I don't need to be.
There is a wonderful discussion guide in the back of this book and I would recommend this for a women's ministry study.  It is very easy to read and has some wonderful receipes in it.
