Food Trigger: Exchanging Unhealthy Patterns for God-Honoring Habits #Amber Alia #Book Review #Bethany House Publishers #Christian Fiction #Health


 


My Thoughts and Book Review

Absolutely a fantastic read for those who are on their personal journey to curb addiction to food or lose weight. The author Amber Alia  has come up with various ways which I felt is very practical to control mindless eating. This book is helping me to identify where I have to bring self control regarding food and sugar. The author, a certified health coach reminded me that even in our weakness as humans God understands and we must give all the glory to God instead of running to food. I enjoyed this read as it is filled with how the author has adopted a spiritual transformation and came off her physical weight - sixty pounds through reading God's word and freeing herself from unhealthy patterns for God honoring - habits. Nothing is impossible with God. 

This book is more of how the reader can encourage to apply biblical principles in each food trigger in their life. In the areas of food and health Satan wants us to feel frustrated, ashamed and stuck. Satan is not our friend but our enemy, seeking "to steal and kill and destroy" our lives (John 10:10). Instead we need to acknowledge these areas to our loving Father who is for us! He will forgive us. 

One of the chapters I loved reading over and over again is one of the food triggers 'When you are Bored'. What do I think more, is it pleasures of food more than the pleasures of being a Christ follower? The author remined me that I need to take time to have quiet times with God everyday so that my purpose could be revealed by him. 

To gather more uncontrollably more than we need is not new. The story of the Israelites in Exodus 16 wandering for Forty years in the desert because of their sin was no small discipline. We have a different sort of turmoil journey one that leads to Obesity and Diet related chronic diseases. How to make small changes can make big impact. This book has encouraged me to take heart in the good fight to implement decisions to make healthy habits by focusing on God's word and mature well in my faith.

I just reviewed the book, Food Triggers: Exchanging Unhealthy Patterns for God-Honoring Habits. Thanks to the author Amber Alia, Publisher Bethany House and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book for my honest review.

BOOK ON TOUR #AFTER PEARL #HISTORICAL CRIME FICTION #SANTA FE WRITERS PROJECT PUBLISHERS #BOOK REVIEW #STEPHEN G EOANNOU

  MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW After Pearl is a captivating historical mystery set in 1942, during the turbulent months following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The novel follows Nicholas Bishop, an alcoholic private investigator and shell-shocked WWI veteran, who wakes up in a seedy hotel room with a hangover, a foggy memory, and two bullets missing from his revolver. Worse still, lounge singer Pearl DuGaye is dead, and Bishop is the prime suspect. As he stumbles through a haze of forgotten days, Bishop—assisted by the sharp and capable Gia Alessi, a loyal sidekick who may or may not still be on his payroll—dives into a web of deceit and danger. His investigation leads him through Buffalo’s underworld, rubbing shoulders with crooked politicians, high-society elites, and an underground group of American Nazis. All the while, he’s haunted by flashbacks from the Great War and shadowed by a one-eyed dog named Jake. The pacing is tight and energetic. The mystery unfolds gradually but never drag...
