Audio CD Description Put down that doughnut. If your weight or your spouse's weight is causing problems in your marriage, counselor and relationship expert Dr. Gary Smalley's Food and Love is packed with appetizing ideas for making changes in nutrition and relationships. His integrated approach, addressing spiritual, emotional, and physical health, overflows with practical tips for personal application. A set of quizzes in the front section of the book helps pinpoint where improvement is possible, and other information is broken down into bite-sized, manageable chunks, such as "Ten ways to extend grace when weight is an issue for you and your spouse," or a section of often-asked questions paired with Smalley's answers. Crucial to weight loss is the notion that "you need God's strength and power to make changes you can never make on your own," Smalley writes. The spiritual component and gentleness of tone in this book are inviting, and distinguish it from other diet books. Smalley's workable suggestions, paired with personal revelations about his own mistakes in weight control and relationships, make for engrossing, life-changing reading. --Cindy Crosby

Customer Reviews A Worthwhile Read Internationally known writer, counselor, & speaker Gary Smalley came to a crisis in his life: even though he made his living by telling people how to change their lives for the better, he realized that he was over-eating and despite his best efforts, he couldn't change his eating habits. This book is his personal journey on changing both what and how he ate. Written in a warm, non-technical style, this book changed how I looked at food and spurred me personally to make some changes in my diet and take nutrition more seriously. This rings TRUE! I read this book after starting the Prism weight loss program, and it was so insightful, clear & motivating! Others I recommended it to found it extremely helpful as well. If you have a problem with weight or relationships, you will find great comfort and practical advice in this book. It even included encouraging info on how to deal with friends & family who are hurtful or who feel hurt by your change in diet. I recommend this as a good read for learning to eat a healthier diet in general too. Everyone could benefit! Awesome Awesome, could not put the book down..so inspiring and motivating..and real...very well can change your life....
