About this ebook
Made to Crave is the missing link between a woman’s desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. The reality is we were made to crave. Craving isn’t a bad thing. But we must realize God created us to crave more of him. Many of us have misplaced that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures instead of lasting spiritual satisfaction. If you are struggling with unhealthy eating habits, you can break the “I’ll start again Monday” cycle, and start feeling good about yourself today. Learn to stop beating yourself up over the numbers on the scale. Discover that your weight loss struggle isn’t a curse but rather a blessing in the making, and replace justifications that lead to diet failure with empowering go-to scripts that lead to victory. You can reach your healthy weight goal – and grow closer to God in the process. This is not a how-to book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This book is the necessary companion for you to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan you choose. This is a book and Bible study to help you find the "want to" in making healthy lifestyle choices.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just can't say any, but Thank You Jesus!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this book and its theories on how working on your relationship with God can help to fill the cravings you have for food. Terkeurst says that we are made to crave (obviously by the title) God but that we fill that craving with food, sex, shopping, etc instead of filling it with God. By working on our relationship with God and filling the craving through Him we will crave less of the food, sex, shopping, etc. There are some excellent quotes and passages in the book one of my favorites is (this is not an exact quote because I don't have the book in front of me) the number on the scale is a measure of how much our bodies weigh, not a measure of our worth. A definite read for anyone interested in a different thought process on dieting, weight and spirituality.
