Made to Crave: Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not Food Audiobook

" It took me six months to read this book. Although I really liked it -- and I want to go back and read parts of it again -- I just couldn't take it in big chunks. I would read a chapter and mull it over for quite a while -- but then often forget what I read. But I think Lysa TerKeurst really got it right. "

" I did the bible study series along with reading this book. Lysa explains this in such a great way & pulls scriptures out of the Bible that I have never really considered. It's not a book about weight loss, it a book about a spiritual journey & life change. Excellent! "

" Biblically sound and thoughtfully told. "

" I am part of an online bible study group with Proverbs31 Ministry and this was a topical book. While I'm not someone that really turns to food for comfort reading this book did show me where I could be better in filling my life with more God and less cravings. It was still a great resource of scripture and I took more away from this study than I had thought I would. "

" Good when applied to all areas. Sometimes I wonder why we are so hung up on food in American culture. Not all cultures expect their women to be thin. That's what I didn't like about the book- too much emphaisis on food as a measure of spirituality. "

" This was one of the most enlightening books I've ever read. "

" LOVED this book! It really opened my eyes to my issues with food. And that God cares about EVERY aspect of my life ... including what I eat. "

" I don't know what I expected. It is very religious, sometimes overly so. But I like the basic idea. Instead of eating when you know you shouldn't, asking God or whatever higher power you're into for help and guidance. Its not shallow and yes, there are bigger problems out there. But stopping enough to think and pray is a big step to not eating that 3rd cookie. There are some good strategies here for coping with our food obsessed culture and our own lack of willpower. "

" This book will continue to remain on my "to read" shelf, as even a second read-through hasn't been enough. I will continue to reread until it gets through my thick skull! Excellent book dealing with food cravings as a spiritual battle as well as a physical one. "

" LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! TerKeurst totally "gets it" when it comes to cravings ruling your life. So much insight into God's word about food and control issues. One I've read multiple times and bought 10 extra copies to give away!!! "

" I like the message. However I feel like her thoughts are repeated over and over again, it got old. I do like the scripture verses she quotes. "

" Awesome! Inspiring, motivating, convicting, compelling. I am one good choice away from victory! "

" Leading a women's bible study on this right now. Will let you know when it's over :) "

" Good book.really loved it!! "

" this book changed my whole perspective and outlook! Amazing! "

" ABSOLUTELY outstanding book. Going to read it again and this time highlight the great insights. "

" Excellent Bible study, will definitly read again. "

" This is such a great book, it gives you a completely different perspective on food and losing weight and what God's word says...Everything permissible but not everything beneficial. "

" Really liked this book. It made me realize that I don't have to go through weight loss and weight issues on my own. Great tips, ideas, stories, and Bible verse to help you on your way. Thanks to my friend Dolores for letting me borrow her book. "

" This book changed my life!!! "

" I absolutely love this book. I felt many times as though the author was in my head. I highlighted so much of this book and will definitely be revisiting key passages. "

" Good message, but she was a little extreme in her own personal methods for me. "

" I found this book fascinating! I had started a "clean eating" challenge around the time I started reading this book, and then I felt that perhaps my challenge was for more than just proving myself to myself. "

" This book made me realize just how out of control I can be with eating and how eating often controls me. I learned alot from it. I am going to read it again and determine some goals, some changes I need to make. With God's help I will crave Him as much as I fill my cravings with food. "

" This is a very helpful book - and very challenging. You have to "want to" before it will do you any good! "

" Excellent! I don't buy too many books, but for this one I had to make an exception. It is one I will re-read, and refer to often. <br/> <br/>Loved it. "

" Liked this book but I think was wrong timing for me. Maybe will pick up again in the future. "

" In my book, there is just one word: revolutionary. It's a paradigm shift from surface struggles to intimate, healing change. A must for every woman, no matter the size or shape. "

" Great book! Must read for those (especially women) who have any struggles with eating. It has great take-away advice. "

" This was the best book about change of attitude towards diets and finding the desire to eating healthier. I loved this thought, &quot;define your week by your obedience not the number on the scale&quot; Great advice. Bought 2 more books and passed out to Morgan and Kori "

" This is such a great book, it gives you a completely different perspective on food and losing weight and what God's word says...Everything permissible but not everything beneficial. "

" Awesome book! So full of mental help to get past what is seen on the scales!! Packed full of scriptures to help us to be obedient to Gods word! This book explains that losing weight can be a great spiritual journey! A fabulous read! I have been very encouraged! "

" this book changed my whole perspective and outlook! Amazing! "
