Good

Good book for a unique angle when approaching health and weight loss. Equating food addiction to other addictions is eye opening and a spiritual approach to fitness goals that one may be missing.

Wake up call

Great book if you need a wake up call. Lots of good information, Great encouragement and strong testimonies of Dr Brown and his wife.

I would rather have read the book than listen

The woman who speaks for his wife’s writings, she has a very hard voice to listen to. It sounds like she is continually trying to seduce the listener by her tone of voice. It’s quite annoying. I wish that It wasn’t included because the man who speaks for Dr. Michael Brown is totally fine.

We love you

Stronghold of food in my life Broken in Jesus name ! Thank you Holy Trinity.Praise God !!!!

Worth It!

Great audiobook. More than expected. Please do yourself a favor and listen to this audiobook.

So good!!

Amazing book. really deals with the real issues of food struggles, which is a spiritual issue.

Excellent

This book has helped me in many ways. I am very grateful for it! My only complaint… It’s not about the book itself but about one of the readers. Susan Hanfield has a tendency to sound… I don’t know how else to put it… Arrogant. I don’t think she intends to but that’s the way she comes across. Anyway other than that I loved the book!

GREAT book

This book has been a huge help to me. I think people who are chronically overweight, like me, need to change how they think about eating and this book helps to do that. its especially helpful that the author and his wife are so incredibly relatable as they too struggled significantly with their weight .

A true God send

I'm so blessed to have this biblically centered resource to aid in my nutrition / weight loss journey. I've respected Dr. Brown for many years as an authentic man of God, and am glad that he and his wife so candidly deal with the issue in this book.

Excellent book.

So good to hear my story exactly. I’ve known all of this for a long time but could not keep myself from going back again and again. In 2017 on my birthday I announced I would try being Vegan for 30 days. I did really good and continued but about 6 months into it and not yet to goal weight, I decided to allow snacks here and there and not be so dogmatic. I did not gain all my weight back only about 10-12 lbs. however it has been a chronic never ending juggling of fasting, not eating at night etc, etc to hold this ground and I am still 20 lbs from goal. Also my body changed and looks so much worse then it did before I became a vegan. The part this book brought out to me was my sin before God. I am repenting and praising him for His mercy and grace. I do not have a supportive spouse yet and have to cook all meals and snacks. He wants nothing to do with this live or the Lord. I will continue to pray for his deliverance and salvation I am confident in the Lord my deliverer can deliver him as well. His book brought the spiritual piece that I needed and I know God will see me through this. Thank you both for your book and your obedience. It has made a significant change in my thinking and obedience as well
