Inspiring book! MUST READ for young Christian women!December 18, 2008 Sophia M.(San Diego, Ca) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
HEAL is a journey that changes women's views about their bodies and creates a new and healthy relationship with food. No previous book has offered this kind of freedom, truth, and grace. I have learned that beauty, love, and health are goals worth working towards with God (and only God) leading the way! It is clear that the author truly loves and cares about each of her readers. I highly recommend this book to every woman!

How Did God Create Us To Eat?March 3, 2009 Jamie Weik(Mesa, Arizona USA) This is my personal soap box!! I hope that every mother, every youth leader, every mentor, or anyone who has influence over a young women will read and do this study with them. The need to diet, "being thin" etc...is bombarded on us starting at a young age. If we will listen to our bodies they will tell us when we are hungry, when to stop eating, and what to eat! God put those alerts innately in us. They do work and when we follow them, we naturally become the weight God designed us to be. Problem is our stomachs are right by our hearts and as females, when our heart hurts or is hungry, we feed our stomachs. This study will help you find and use those natural instincts to become your "perfect" healthy weight--whatever it is! One last thing, think about this-Do we have to tell our lungs when to breath and how much air to breath-- or do we need to tell our liver to work, how bout our digestive system? No, we don't, and you can find out that we don't need to worry about what we eat. This book is about setting us free from diets and eating the way we were designed to eat!!!
HEALMarch 16, 2009 Lover of all things Christmas!(VA) I am not yet finished with the study. I have lost weight, but more importantly, I am gaining a stronger relationship with God and iI have developed a stronger relationship with 4 women. Should I not lose a pound, it was well worth what I have gained.
God Bless.
The seller was awesome, as well. :-)

Every woman wants to know she looks good, that she is "fearfully and wonderfully made" as we are told in Psalm 139:14. The HEAL Principles are based upon this scripture. HEAL is a life style change, a shared program, and a group program. It is a program designed to help you examine yourself spiritually, and to get off the roller coaster of restrictive, harmful dieting. HEAL is a freedom filled approach to food, it is about living an abundant life, and it is centered on God rather than ourselves or the wisdom of the world.
Broken into 6 Lessons, Heal will take you through each lesson, with Scripture, with reading, with application, and with personal reflections. There will be places where you are told to be accountable, to call your friends your doing the program with.
The lesson titles are:
You are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
The HEAL Basics
Healing Your Hunger
Body Beautiful
An Aisle of Grace
Abundant Living
This book is a wonderful tool, one I am finding helpful in my own life, and journey towards accepting myself and living abundantly. Allie and Judy have combined some wonderful concepts to live by in this book, I highly recommend this book to anyone with issues with their self image.
