This book was an answer to prayer. Not only did the authors teach me how God could free me from the bondages of obesity -- but the book is EDUCATIONAL!! When you really know what food consists of, and how your body responds - it is so much easier to make better choices.

I have never been more than 20 pounds overweight, but this book buttonholed me-up and down, tons of diets, diet pills! I have never been happy with my body. This book has lifted a huge burden off of me, teaching me that the goal is not to be thin, but to be healthy. To see that God wants me to obey and have self-control in the food arena was eye-opening, as I've always thought that eating anything was okay, it never hurts anyone and no one really could see how much I ate (I've always exercised a lot). I am now focused on eating healthy rather than depriving myself and it's working! I feel that God has blessed me with this special body, just like He has blessed all of us. I will always be referring back to this book to keep me inspired to obey.

this book not only touches the lives of overeaters but is helpful for anyone that is experiencing a compulsive disorder. the teaching on the Holy Spirit is wonderful and can be applied in so many areas of your life. thank-you neva and marie for such an inspiring study!!!

This book is a biography about a husband and wife who truly understand and believe in the power of prayer. I've read so many "how to" books on prayer, but this story tells the true life experiences of a woman so close to God, that she knows her prayers will be answered, she prays without ceasing, and has the faith of a mustard seed. Set in Yugoslavia around WWII, the reader is moved to truly appreciate all that God has supplied. Great story. A little hard to follow at first with the foreign names and places, but stick to it. Life changing reading.

This is the best book I have ever read. It has really restored my faith and changed my life. I met the son Yanni and he is truly a faithful man. I did not know anyone with such a string faith. The story really makes you appreciate what we have.

This is the most inspirational book I have ever read. My heart was broken and convicted so deeply as I read of the prayer-lives of the invidividuals within its pages. May it challenge you as it has me.

Thought this would be a good book on how to strengthen my relationship with my two young daughters as they grow, but after the first 3-4 chapters I stopped reading. I feel it is a book for mothers & daughters who are having problems and how to repair them. It's an okay book if you are in that kind of situation.
