Zondervan Made to Crave: Satisfying Your Deepest Desires with God Not Food Pack, Participant's Guide and DVD

Pack containing one softcover guide and one DVD. In this six-session video study, Lysa TerKeurst helps women discover 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 so we'd ultimately always desire more of Him in our lives. Many of us have misplaced that craving towards overindulging in physical pleasures instead of lasting spiritual satisfaction. For a woman struggling with unhealthy eating habits, Made to Crave will equip her to: *Break the 'I'll start again Monday cycle' and start feeling good about herself today *Stop beating herself up over the numbers on the scale and make peace with the body you've been given *Discover how your weight loss struggle isn't a curse but rather a blessing in the making *Replace justifications that lead to diet failure with empowering Go-to Scripts that lead to victory. *Eat healthy without feeling deprived * Reach your healthy weight goal while growing closer to God through the process.

The author is very nice and encouraging and the scriptures used are right on... I am still in the process of going through the DVD so can't really give a thorough review. So far it looks promising.
The only thing that needs to be put in the catalog information is that if a person is going to buy the DVD and the workbook it is highly recommended to buy the book as well. I was disappointed that I didn't know that at the time of purchase and when I was all ready to begin the program and was watching the DVD the author remarked how important to have the book was, and I didn't have it. SO it would be helpful for future purchasers to have that included in the description. I have to order the book now... and wait....

Made to crave is so easy to understand and is absolutely full of information to help anyone with an addiction to food. Learning the reasons and triggers for my eating, why I emotionally eat, and how to turn to the Lord instead of food is what this study is all about. I would recommend this study to anyone!

I did not know this was for a group study, I got it for my own personal use. Also, after opening it up I realized I now need the book Made to Crave, which I did not order. This pack is a work book and DVD to go along with the book! I am disappointed

No matter what you are challenged with craving instead of God, Lysa's book will help you see why food or anything else, will only leave you empty and quilt filled. You can learn that focusing on God and who you are to Him, those needs for satisfaction and fulfillment will finally be met and you can have "Peace". This study is challenging, it challenges how we see ourselves, but if you allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you and truly open your eyes to the fact that food issues do reveal spiritual issues, it will change your life and even your body and health! I have been on my healthy living, God craving journey for 1 year now, my health has improved and I've been able to adhere to a meal plan and face the stresses of life without giving in to temptation. I've not been perfect but I've been able to focus on what I truly need, which is to crave God, not food.

Excellent. Just what I needed. The guide, DVD and book go hand in hand. You could have just one of the three and get helpful information or you can get all three and change your life. You could finally be really free from self destructive patterns of eating. I am on week 4 and have such peace.

Lysa explains that diet programs are "how-to's". Her program provides the "want-to's": the spiritual & mental motivation & inspiration to make lasting changes... I believe she has accomplished that. But don't just get the participants guide & dvds, but get the book also to be truly successful.

Lysa shared an enlightening perspective on overindulgence. I had never realized that sometimes overeating is really an attempt to satisfy a longing for God with food. She also shared a plan on how to break destructive lifestyle habits. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to permanently lose weight.

Made to Crave is EXACTLY what I've been missing all these years! I know how to eat healthy; I've done it before to lose weight just to gain it back over and over again. Lysa Terkeurst (author of program) touches upon this vicious cycle that so many of us who struggle with food know all to well. With many thanks to Ms. Terkeurst, both my mother and I are on one of the most spiritual journeys we've ever set out upon and are getting physically and mentally healthy along the way. I highly recommend the book
along with the DVD and participants guide.

Sheds a whole new light on food management [we do not like the "D" word]. It takes the issue if what, when, where and why we eat out of just the natural realm and brings it into the spiritual realm. To leave God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit out is this area of our lives will always spell defeat, that is why this book and DVD will be a priceless key that will spell success in any ones life. It is not, filled with do this and don't do that type of teaching, but LOVING unpacks God's timeless truths.

At last, a book/video that deals with the root of our overeating and shows us changes that need to be made. It is not just a set of menus to follow nor a "DO NOT EAT" list of foods. It helps you give your appetite to God.

Made To Crave is like having a friend sit down beside you and share her journey with you. Made to Crave is honest and real, and reading it helps you believe that you can overcome the bad habits and make changes ... with God's help. I know that I'm too week to make lasting changes on my own, but Lysa shares how God helped her change her way of thinking, and how He can help me can make the same changes.
The DVD series is wonderful! Lysa's weekly sessions are encouraging, and real. She cuts to the heart of the book, and this issue of overeating, confronting the lies we tell ourselves. She breaks it down into a weekly challenge ... one change to make each week ... with refrigerator signs to remind us of that week's focus. The study guide includes discussion questions and weekly homework to bring us face to face with the reasons we overeat, pointing us right back to Jesus and TRUTH. This would be a great study to do in a small group at church, with your best friend, or even on your own.
Individually, the book and the DVD series are each wonderful and helpful. They meet different needs for different people. For myself, I think they work best together. The book gives more depth to the DVD sessions, but the DVD series and guide give a more practical application process that I need. Made to Crave is a much-needed blessing in my life!
(This was received free for review purposes, but it is my honest opinion!)
