In this wonderful book by Sheri Rose Shepherd, she gives many wonderful spiritual applications for our lives when we are having a specific craving in our lives. She gives ways of turning to God instead of always turning to food to help one live a healthier lifestyle. Coming from a past where Sheri lost 50 lbs and has kept it off, she has much insight in staying healthy and growing spiritually at the same time. Each chapter looks at a different specific craving we may have in our lives and then gives a spiritual application for satisfying that craving and also follows each with yummy, healthy recipes. For example, chapter 5 is titled "Craving Something Sweet: Real Sweet Recipes and Some Sweet Jesus Time." I really enjoyed this book and it gave me wonderful ideas for not only growing in my faith, but also growing into a healthy lifestyle with my food choices. Some of the recipes seemed a bit daunting and time consuming for a mom with 3 young children such as myself but most of them looked wonderful. I love the verse she uses from Psalm 34:8 "Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in Him!" I would recommend this book to anyone struggling with turning to God instead of turning to food!!
