Focus Publishing Incorporated The Lord's Table: A Biblical Approach to Weight Loss

How is it that we can have so much knowledge about how to lose weight, but be bankrupt in applying that knowledge? The Lord's Table presents the answer to this question as well as the solution to overeating, right from the pages of Scripture. We must believe that since God made us only God can fix us. This manual is a compelling call to return to God's Word to find the reasons why we overeat as well as the permanent solution it provides. Spiral Bound.

When I ordered this book I had no idea what to expect. I just knew that I needed to turn to God to help me lose weight. I ended up offering to lead a Bible study using this book and have 14 people doing this study in my church and we are all beinig blessed. We are losing weight as we turn to God to help us. Thanks be to God!

This product has been a tremendous help to me and my personal struggle with weight control and more importantly my relationship with my God. I have become immersed daily in applying the lessons to my life. It is the most spiritual comprehensive program that I have ever seen for weight control, eating in moderation and I definatley will witness to my friends how I have become a new person through following this program

I did the Lord's Table Course online, and wanted to go through it again. The online course is right there in the book. The Lord's Table has helped me to view food as sustenance for living and to look for a solution to my spiritual needs in something other than physical food. If I am eating because I am giving in to my whims, bored, stressed, sad, or because I lack purpose, I am trying to fill a spiritual need with physical food. My body then has extra food, and I am no closer to meeting those needs. However, when I feast on Jesus, and satisfy myself in Him, those cravings will be satisfied.

This is a good book. I've read it. My problem is that while it's not about a diet, you are given a diet plan at the back of the book. And it's a low calorie plan if you add the calories up for the week and divide by 7. Spirit Led Eating or Thin Within are both excellent books that I would recommend over this book.

Anyone looking for a Bible based weight loss program, look no further. This program changed my life. It helped me refocus on the Savior, Jesus Christ. I ordered the book so I could have it with me all the time, even when not online.

After 20 years this is the first program that works. This is a book full of valuable information that is not only helpful for weight loss but for building your relationship with the Lord. The value of this book is far greater than the price I paid. I would recommended this book to everyone.

I cannot say enough wondering things about the Lord's Table! I believe that God led me to the study, and it is a life-changer for sure. I am on day 26 and have already learned so much about why I ate the way I used to (gluttony...ouch). Although the study brings out all sorts of emotions (sadness, shame, hope, excitement, clarity), it really was exactly what I was looking for--a Christ-centered study on weight/food.
I have tried several other weight loss programs and lost weight. But the focus was always on the food. And I always gained my weight back. :( This program is VERY different. The focus in on the Lord. And with Him, all things are possible! After 2.5 weeks, I've lost 6 pounds.
I am SO very thankful for this study. I have also shared the book with several friends who are doing the study with me. We are all encouraged!

This book is packed with biblical truth. Forget about all the diets and "eat this and don't eat that". We can learn how to "Feed on the Lord" and overcome the lifelong "habit" of overeating when we rely on God to repent the sin of gluttony. Oh, the freedom from the slavery to my appetites!

This book is completely different from any other weight loss guide out there, Christian or otherwise. It is different because the focus is not on food but on Jesus. The central teaching is that Christ is the bread of life and the living water; only He can satisfy our soul hunger. When we look to Him to meet our needs and desires then He will fill us, and we will not need to seek satisfaction in anything else. Amazingly simple yet powerful truths!

Just starting t his program but we are excited. The perspective this teaches is Biblical and strengthening. It reminds us that even when battling a weight issue God can handle it, God is the focus and spend time with God instead of stressing over whether your weight went down this week...God wants us to take care of our bodies, not necessarily get compliments on them!

This book is a great tool to have even if you are doing the (free) online course. The approach to weight loss is unlike any "diet" approach--because it is not. It forces the reader to take a hard, honest look at the reasons for overeating and gets right to the heart of them.You will be guided through sixty lessons which are biblically-based. Each lesson covers a topic pertaining to overeating, but more importantly how it relates to scripture. I was impressed because the lessons seem to be put together systematically and timely; there is a definite order to them.You will go into this program desiring to lose weight, but somewhere in the midst will realize that it isn't about weight at all, but a deepening relationship with Jesus Christ, and the weight loss is a side benefit!I highly recommend this program. You will not be the same!

I recommend this book to anyone who has tried diets and failed! This Bible study is great! It strengthens your relationship with God and loosens your grip on food! God has used this Bible study in my life to strengthen my walk with Him, to set me free from slavery, and as a bonus I have lost 70 pounds (not in the 60 days but in applying the principles over the last 2 years)! Yahoo! Praise God for true freedom and true weight loss!

I have not completed The Lord's Table yet, but so far it is really opening my eyes to the fact that overeating is a sin against God and that only God can reverse this. I take several medications that increase my appetite. I have put on weight because of this, having been the right weight most of my life. This is a big hurdle for me, but I see from reading this book that I can't handle this alone. I need my Savior there to guide me and resist Satan!

This book has the REAL answer to the lifetime battle many of us have with overeating. I have purchased more than one copy to give to friends - it's also available as an online interactive course at www.settingcaptivesfree.com. But I love having the book in hand to refer to over and over. TERRIFIC!!!
