Weight Loss: The Spiritual Secrets – A Mind, Body, Spirit Approach

September 16, 2009 By Dale Fletcher Leave a Comment

Weight Loss Spiritual SecretsWhen I learn of information that I think will help others, I’m likely to pass it along more quickly than more slowly. This is one of those times.

About 5 years ago I read a book by Dr. Kara Davis, a practicing internal medicine physician, on the secrets to losing weight.  It was based upon the application of the different “fruits of the spirit” addressed in Galatians 5:22-23.

Her new book is Spiritual Secrets to Weight Loss.  A 50-Day Renewal of Body, Mind and Spirit. It combines spiritual truths of the Bible with practical yet medically sound advise on eating and physical activity.

I’ve read the introduction and the first of the 50 four-page chapters and scanned over the remainder of the book.  One thing is clear –  Davis’ heart is that people know the loving God of the Bible and that they be in good health. This book would be great to read read as a devotional over a 50 day period and I suspect could be a life-changing experience for some of you.

“For He (God) has satisfied the thirsty soul, and the hungry soul He (God) has filled with what is good.” Psalm 107:9

Questions to Reflect On:

Are struggling with your weight and ready to grow more deeply in your relationship with God and yourself?  If so,  I strongly recommend you read this book.

Do you know of a friend or family member who is challenged by their weight?  Consider sharing this post and book with them.
