Candace Cameron Bure first became known to millions as a costar on the hit ABC television series Full House. Today, like her brother Kirk Cameron, she is the rare Hollywood actor who is outspoken about her Christian faith and how it helps overcome certain obstacles.
Bure’s healthy lifestyle has been featured in Us Weekly and People magazine, as well as on national talk shows, including The View and NBC’s Today. In Reshaping It All, she continues the story, inspiring women to embrace a healthier lifestyle by moving faith to the forefront, making wise choices, and finding their worth in the eyes of God. Candace shares a candid account of her struggle with food and ultimately her healthy outlook on weight despite the toothpick-thin expectations of Hollywood.
More than a testimony, here is a motivational tool that will put listeners on the right track and keep them there. In addition to practical advice, Candace offers a biblical perspective on appetite and self-control that will provide encouragement to women and guide them toward freedom.

"I absolutely loved this book! For anyone who is struggling with an addiction (alcohol, food, drug, shopping, smoking, etc.) I think this book could help. I know a lot of people don't get what the big deal is because she "only had 20lbs to lose" but the issue is bigger than that; not that 20 lbs is not a big deal because in my opinion it is! I think the biggest issue is that people, myself totally included, are using their addictions - however small they may be (such as Facebook or cell phones!) to satisfy something that no one can satisfy except God. I personally was trying to find joy out of some chocolate (or other tasty treat) because the kids were driving me nuts rather than asking God to help me in that moment. It was and is a BAD habit that I couldn't seem to break no matter what I tried. It is NOT easy at all to give up our addictions and lean on Christ instead. But it's something I really wanted to change about myself. I really do want to live for Him and not for me. I didn't want to be eating the way I was - just out of stress and boredom and thinking "I deserved a little indulgence". I want to think that my body is a temple that He gave to me and treat it as best as I can. And yes, that sounds great in theory but it really IS hard to practice! I read this over a month ago now and it's getting a little easier but still a BIG struggle. As Candace points out over and over it is a huge life style change and something that only He can do for you. But He won't do it if we don't ask, which I was only half-heartedly doing to be honest. Now I am trying to be in for life. I know I will slip up and I know it won't always be easy but I will try to do what is best for my body in order to honor Him! I do agree with Candace in that we ARE meant to enjoy His blessings, which includes food, but not to the degree I was doing it by no means. There is a fine line between enjoying His blessings and overindulgence and with His help, I will try not to pass it again!"

" This book really helped me see my body in a whole different light and really put the right motivation in me. Rather than changing my rating for the world it's about me and God. "
— Christine Smith , 2/1/2016" This was the best faith-based diet book I have ever read-- and I've read a few! This was also the first one I ever read all the way through! I highly recommend it. "
— Misserose, 2/18/2014" It was a really good book. I enjoyed the recipes posted in each chapter and the practical advice Candace gives. "
— Chiara, 2/11/2014" Amazingly written book. With prompts from the book, I changed my eating habits and lost 10 lbs in one month. It happens when you put God first in your life. Spiritual fitness is equally as important as physical fitness. "
— Jessi, 2/7/2014" I loved Candace's examples of personal discipline and spirituality. I found her book to be wonderfully motivational. "
— Janelle, 2/3/2014" I loved this inspirational book! It not only gave practical ideas for getting your body in shape, but also focused on getting your spiritual life in shape too. I loved the bible verses and healthy recipes that were also included in this book. "
— Jess, 2/3/2014" This is filled with basically good advice with a strong spiritual perspective. Will appeal most to evangelical Christians, and secondly to mainstream Christians and former fans of "Full House." She strikes you as someone who tries hard and works hard, but also as a person who hasn't had much in the way of hardships come her way. Nice organization to it overall. She is a bit too squeaky clean for me which fits the "Full House" image, but not the contemporary woman besieged that many of us are. "
— Gloria, 1/25/2014" Loved it. So inspirational and well written. "
— Zane, 1/18/2014" Love the mix of recipes and scriptures, advice and story. It was like listening to an encouraging friend, along the path of reclaiming my health. "
— Alisha, 12/23/2013" This book had a good message about combining faith with weight loss, however the writing was so choppy and did not flow in lots of parts which made it hard to read. I mostly just skimmed the last chapters. "
— Alice, 12/23/2013" I really enjoyed this book. It wasn't all about dieting, nor all about spirituality. It was real and offered a connection like few other self-help/diet books have. It has me rethinking many aspects of my life, how I look at food, and how to deal with it. It was great! "
— Cindy, 12/9/2013" Uh, not much. She definitely thinks highly of herself and this was very much a book all about her, and not about how to help others get over their bad eating habits of emotional eating turmoil. I put the book down halfway through. (Wish I really never do!) "
— Nicole, 11/25/2013" My sister gave me this book to read, and I was pretty disappointed in it. I thought maybe she would talk about her time on Full House, but she kinda jumped all over the place. I feel like she never completed a thought, or stayed on topic very well. "
— Julie, 11/10/2013" It was ok. We have enjoyed a couple of the recipes she gives in the book. The information was redundant and uninteresting. "
— Ashley, 10/29/2013" amazing...she is full of wisdom "
— Jenaya, 10/27/2013" I didn't care for the tone, and there isn't a whole lot of helpful substance here. "
— Heather, 10/26/2013" A bit fluffy. Could skim thru it easily and get the same message. "
— Mary, 10/1/2013" I didn't really find anything new in this book. The faith-based approach to weight loss was interesting. I would have liked to see more recipes and examples of meal plans. "
— Laura, 6/26/2013" Some great advice and yummy recipes. Also love the quotes and scriptures. "
— Tiffany, 9/29/2012" This was pretty good. A lot of it is her story, used as examples for what we should be doing in our lives. She has some good ideas, though, that I'm going to try. "
— Vicky, 9/21/2012" I loved watching her grow up on tv and now being a healthy, mature women. And one with her head on her shoulders. Good for her. She didn't become another Hollywood statistic. This is a good book for any woman though. Very thoughtful. "
— Dats, 7/1/2012" I really liked that she didn't try to "force-feed" you a diet. She talked about a practical plan for your life that is so basic it is a wonder everyone isn't already doing it. I loved that she spoke from a Christian aspect as so many things today are not done this way. "
— Rese, 5/1/2012" Not nearly as good as I expected. "
