Made to Crave

Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not Food

By: Lysa TerKeurst

Narrated by: Jill Brennan

Length: 6 hrs and 1 min

Publisher's summary

What would happen if you started listening to your cravings instead of trying to silence them? If you’re tired of the same old messages of eat less and move more, this audiobook is what you’ve been missing. You know “how to” get healthy...but now there’s finally an audiobook to help you find your “want to” - the lasting emotional and spiritual motivation to meet your goals and stay healthy.

The reality is we were made to crave. Craving isn’t a bad thing. But we must realize God created us to crave more of him. Many of us have misplaced that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures instead of lasting spiritual satisfaction. New York Times best-selling author of It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way, Uninvited, and The Best Yes, Lysa TerKeurst, invites you to find the missing link between a woman’s desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen.

In this audiobook, Lysa will help you:

• Break the cycle of “I’ll start again Monday” and feel good about yourself today.
• 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 audiobook. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This audiobook is the necessary companion for you to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan you choose. This is an audiobook and Bible study to help you find the "want to" in making healthy lifestyle choices.

didn't know it was written for women

I got some good stuff from it. very practical.
the narrator was really into the book as well. I suggest keeping some background just going because you can hear every drop of liquid in her mouth as she talks.

the book was pretty good BUT…

The book was good but the narrator's voice drove me crazy! high pitched and winnie

Awesome !!!

loved the way she wrote this, it was so easy to relate any of my struggles , not just food, and apply new tools and God's wisdom to my personal life story!
thank you for sharing your heart Lysa!

Change your focus, change your life

This book is like no other book I’ve ever read before. I was looking for a book to help me break the cycle of my life-long addiction to food. Lysa shared how she made a shift when she changed her focus. This book has help me change my relationship with food and it has helped me strengthen my relationship with God. If you’re looking for a way to finally experience freedom in this area, this is the book for you.

Well written book, lots of great facts and scripture. The narrator should be doing children’s books. She is clear and easy to understand but her infections are horrible and feels like your being talked down too.

Great!

Amazing, full of thought provoking ideas. A great depiction of the struggle. At the end, I was wishing for more

Great read!

Lysa's book was very self-reflecting, open, and honest. God bless you. I would recommend this to others who are "Jesus Girls" and who struggle with their weight as well.

A spiritual perspective on weightloss

Good content - very challenging. Definitely recommend even I you are not extremely overweight but struggling to lose the "vanity weight" like me. It challenged me to change my thinking about food. I definitely recommend. my only critique is that I wish the author would have read it because I listened to other audio books and her voice is more compelling but would still recommend.
