The spiritual solution to a physical problem...
Restored! is for anyone who struggles with obesity or yo-yo dieting and desires a lifetime win from the battle. The author offers nourishment for the body, mind and spirit in retelling her personal journey, having tried countless weight loss programs--in total, dropping 450 pounds yet always regaining.
Nearly beyond hope, Helen's "2x4 moment" was realizing what had been missing all along: a relationship with Christ. Turning to her faith for strength, she stripped down to the root cause of her emotional eating: growing up amidst the dysfunction of alcoholism, drug addiction and divorce.
Surrendering to God transformed Helen's life, enabling her to shed and maintain a 116-pound loss. Now a nationally certified fitness instructor and on the staff of a Christ-centered weight loss and healthy living nonprofit ministry, her career is dedicated to helping others embrace all that God has planned for them.
Filled with real-life success stories, interactive exercises, Scripture readings keyed to the chapter themes, and a study guide for small groups, Restored! will empower you to overcome temptation, and help you accept and love yourself in a way that honors God.
