Book Review~Made to Crave by Lysa TerKeurst

This book is written by Lysa TerKeurst the President of Proverbs 31 Ministries. 

"Lysa wrote the book Made to Crave from the perspective of a woman who has never craved a carrot stick in her whole life. Having struggled with her weight her whole adult life, Lysa knows what it feels like to be in the vicious cycle of gaining and losing, but never feeling at peace in her struggle. Everything changed when Lysa decided to have her deepest desire met by God not food. Now, armed with the spiritual motivation she gained in her own journey, she is inspiring others to find lasting victory."

I have been hearing about this book for about a year now.  I tell you I was SO tickled pink when I found out I'd been chosen to get this book for review.  I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember.  I've also struggled with doing God's will in my life.  This book is a perfect fit for me.  I can not say enough good things about it!!  Now you must know this up front....it is NOT a diet book.  It will not tell you what to eat.  Many of us know what we should or not eat.  I've always done great for a while but never followed through.  That is why I loose weight and go right back up again.  I like it in the book when Lysa says, "Weakness is hard, but it doesn't have to mean defeat.  It is my opportunity to experience God's power firsthand." 

At the end of each chapter are "Personal Reflection" questions.  Let me tell you these REALLY get you thinking and praying!!  I'm participating in an online study of this book and plan on blogging about my journey through Made to Crave.  So please come back and check in often.  This is in no way shape or form an easy read...meaning you are going to have a lot of hard work ahead of you.  One by one you will be peeling off the layers....getting to the person God has created you to be.  It's time to put the excuses away for good!!  I highly recommend this book...even if you do not struggle with your weight.

Lysa has a number of fun things coming up during the next few weeks.
