Summary
While "everything is permissible, not everything is beneficial." (1 Corinthians 6:12. This is one of the foundational ideas behind Made to Crave. The author's premise is that we fill our craving for God with other things - in this case food - and that puts our lives out of balance. When we realign our focus, our attention, our time, and our "craving," we can put food - or whatever else distracts us - in its proper place. Each chapter includes questions for further thought. There are also materials for group study of the book. You can go here to read the author's blog, here to get some free materials related to the book and here to sign up for a 21 day series of emails to encourage you on your journey.
Review
I have really enjoyed reading this book. It is both challenging and encouraging. I found that the principles, while specifically about food and eating, can also be applied to other areas of life. This is not a diet book. The author does not outline an eating plan. Each reader, in consultation with his or her physician, should work out a plan that works for the individual's needs and health. This book is more about your relationship with food and how you think about food and where God fits in your eating life.
4 out of 5 stars
Recommended for: anyone looking for encouragement or resources to help with healthy eating and exercise. Good for group study and discussion.
Cautions: none
