About the Book

There is endless information (and misinformation!) about food and our bodies in today's western culture, but what does the Bible say? Does Jesus speak in this area of our lives? Can you be a follower of Christ and struggle with food and body image? In this book, Registered Dietitian (RD) and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS), Anna Marie Long, and Bachelor of Science in Nutrition (BS), personal trainer (PT), and master’s student in counseling, Stephanie Brown, aim to help people restore their relationship with food, exercise, and body image through the Bible and sound nutrition! This book is saturated with scripture, thought-provoking questions, myth-debunking, nutrition facts and research, real-life experiences, and practical steps to freedom. Anna Marie and Stephanie answer hard questions on gluttony, fasting, feasting, self-control, and attraction. As nutritionists by training, they also cover principles of intuitive eating, social determinants of health, and the origin of BMI. Free of diet culture, this book is a safe resource for both men and women in eating disorder recovery, caregivers for those in recovery, or anyone who has ever wondered what the Bible has to say about food and body image.
