Review: Easy read, deep and practical - This book has been a blessing for me, it's full of encouragement and wisdom. I highly recommend.
Review: Calling sin sin - I read Dr. Brown's daily column and have come to respect what he has to say. When I saw that he and his wife had written a book on conquering food addictions, I knew I had to read it. I have long recognized that gluttony is my besetting sin and have tried to conquer it for years. Strangely, as Dr. Brown points out in the book, Christians in general don't look on gluttony/obesity as a sin. I realize that not everyone who is obese or overweight is a glutton, but many of us are. Years ago, in a Sunday School class I confessed that gluttony is my besetting sin. After the class, the priest who taught the class took me aside and told me that just because I was overweight (actually I was obese but he didn't acknowledge that) didn't mean I was a glutton. There were many reasons that people were overweight. Yes, I know that and I acknowledge it. However, I also know that it is sinful when I eat more than I should or when I eat things that are not good for my body. I have diabetes and should never eat sweets but over the holidays I not only indulged in sweets, I overindulged. Recently, a Christian friend started a conversation on Facebook asking us to share our besetting sins so we could encourage and help each other overcome. I posted that my besetting sin is obvious to anyone who sees how fat I am; it is gluttony. The next week at church, this friend took me aside and told me I shouldn't have said that because my fat didn't mean I was a glutton. These people meant well and intended to be kind, but it isn't a kindness to say sin isn't sin. This book is very candid in calling food addictions and overeating sin. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and instead of treating those temples with honor and care, many of us abuse our temples with too much food, especially food that is harmful to us. If we are sinning in this way, we need to repent and turn away, just like any other kind of sin. I have been careful about what I eat for the last couple of years, and my health has improved as a result. But I reverted to my old ways during the recent holiday season. Now I'm re-committed to a healthy lifestyle, especially in my eating habits. Not only will healthy eating improve my physical health, it will improve my spiritual health.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent!
*by M***N on September 23, 2024*

Wonderful book about our health from a biblical world view. There are close to no books that address food addiction and sin. I have really been searching for this for a long time and have prayed about my gluttony and feeling quite hopeless about it. God put a podcast of Michael Brown in my path (I had never heard of him) and God has been so faithful putting many things in my path since 🙏 Michael Brown wrote this book with his wife and I found it very helpful because I related a lot to her struggles and it gave me hope to see how God delivered both of them. There is so much wisdom in this book and they make many great suggestions and encourage a plant based lifestyle but do not push or endorse any type of products. Your health is between you and the Lord!
