Better Options - The only book I've ever returned to Amazon
I wanted to like this. A lot of Christian women in the circles I work in like the book, and I was excited to read it. It uses scripture -- a good thing, but that was the only part of the book that was helpful. She really did not do a good job of discussing how to deal with the main issue (assuming that you have read the Bible and are familiar with scripture). There are WAY too many personal stories of "oops" and way too much discussion of weight/body from a not very Christian perspective (way too much influence of culture and its view of beauty). I think in this category the better book options might be Surrender to Love by David Benner, Loveable by Kelly Flanagan, or perhaps even Anatomy of the Soul (really a Christian book about how our backgrounds and what we know about brain science intersect to explain why we feel the way we feel and what we can do about it).
