Publisher's summary

*I'll Start Again Monday is a newly revised and condensed version of Lysa's bestseller Made to Crave.*

Have healthy eating plans left you feeling defeated? Based on her bestseller Made to Crave, Lysa TerKeurst offers a new perspective to all those stuck in the cycle of losing weight and then gaining it back, equipping you with the deeper spiritual and emotional motivation you need to make lasting changes.

So often we characterize our food cravings as bad, especially when dieting has made us feel even more disappointed and discouraged. But the reality is we were made to crave. We just need to realize God created us to crave more of Him instead of misplacing that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures and unhealthy choices that will never truly satisfy. In the midst of her own personal struggle with this, New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst invites us to embrace a new outlook that leads to enduring change. In this newly revised and condensed version of Made to Crave, Lysa encourages you to

• Break the cycle of "I'll start again Monday" and start taking steps toward consistency that lasts.
• Stop agonizing over numbers on the scale and make peace with your body.
• Replace rationalizations that lead to failure with wisdom that leads to victory.
• Reach your healthy goals and grow closer to God through the process.

This is not a "how-to" book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This is the necessary resource to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan you choose that will help you find your "want to" and lead to a spiritual satisfaction that goes far beyond the physical.

Same book, different title

I'm very disappointed! I feel as I've been tricked by Lisa Terkeurst, who I actually believed to be genuine in her proclamation of living like Jesus. This book, I'll Start Again Monday, is her book, Made To Crave, word for word, with a different title and different chapter titles. I can't help but believe this was done solely for financial gain and not because she loves her sisters in Christ and wants to help them be victorious over bondage to food and weight issues! I hate to say, it seems that Lisa is just one more in the long list of fakes who try to use Jesus and the word of God for personal gain!

I have battled weight loss for 45 years

I have battled weight loss for 45 years and lost the battle. Thank you for this book to show me the insanity of doing this myself and not inviting God.
God can do all things.😁

Very Insightful

The only thing that would have made it better is if Lysa would have narrated it herself. Great tips for reaching for portions of God and prayer before portions of food. I’m ready to listen again! Thanks for sharing your story!

Same as “Made to Crave”

Don’t waste your time or money on this if you’ve read “Made to Crave.” Same book, Word for word.

Same as Made to Crave

This book has great advice. But disappointed that it is basically the same as her book published in 2010 called Mar to Crave, Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God Not Food.

loved it

so down to earth. full of truth and wisdom to help anyone who is in need of a helping hand out of the ditch of guilt

Food from a Spirtual Uutlook = Daily Accountabilit

I didnt know what to expect. I was delightfully surprised in the content being so relatable. I found myself looking forward to each days reading as I was following the reading plan of P31 Bible study. I will be reading it again maybe daily as a reminder of how to take control of my eating. The audible version of this makes it really almost like a daily devotional for accountable eating habits.

Loved this book

This was such an inspiration and something God has been dealing with me for a while. Grateful for the reminder that this definitely impacts our relationship with Christ. Obedience in every area including eating is vital so we can fulfill God’s purposes for my life!

inspirational

I really liked this book. 1. I needed to read at this time in my life. 2. I loved the scripture references that I could use when I am struggling with food. 3. I am addicted to good food but it is not all good for my body. 4. I am desiring to be healthier. I am more motivated to change because the change I need is not me. I need to rely on God to help me lose because I can't do it myself.

Excellent!

I listened to the whole book today. I have the actual book and plan to mark the scriptures as a helpful reference. The information is a WOW moment. Many WOW moments!

Motivational and mind blowing

This book gave me a different take on a dieting lifestyle. It provides wonderful scriptures to think on and by doing this give you the opportunity to change your mindset to spiritually commit to being healthy! Craving God above all!
