God’s Diet Plan: Seek Him First, 2019
Tired of dieting and repeated failures? Each year more than 45 million Americans go on a diet. Yet, more than two-thirds of Americans continue to compromise health and longevity because of excessive weight. What hinders weight loss? This 31-day devotional book gives a fresh perspective by using scriptures, biblical stories, and personal accounts to navigate a culture of never-ending diets. God’s Diet Plan: Seek Him First paves the way for a healthier lifestyle and a new you. Selective passages set the tone for each devotion which is followed by purposeful prayer. Prompts from “Thoughts to Ponder” and “Lesson for Life” guide you to consider positive actions. Challenging questions in “Digging Deeper” encourage growth in nutritional knowledge and spiritual depth as you reflect alone or with a group. Nutrition tools in the appendices guide you toward wholesome eating practices. Explore how seeking God inspires a closer relationship with him.
Stop dieting and start living as you seek God first.
