Happy Anniversary

We all know that there are literally thousands of books on the market whose aim is walk the reader through weight loss. If you asked me what makes my book “the Food Ain't the Problem” different from all the other weight loss books on the shelves I could only shrug and say that my book is written to satisfy the biblical verse in 1 Peter 3:15 that states, “But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.”

Therefore, what makes my book different is that it's my story with hints how to apply it to people who struggle with the same food issues as I do. You aren't alone. My book is the account of how God worked in my life and changed me once He saved me. …show more content…

“The Food Ain't the Problem” has always been more than just a book that hopes to shed light on weighty issues. With the glut of weight loss books on the shelves and the fact that I'm an unknown, it seems that I'm answering a question that no one beyond my circle of friends is asking me. Even still, my desire has always been to bring the reality of God into the lives of those who read it.

Jesus didn't just walk the earth, thump His chest, roar and say “I am God, thou shalt kneel before me you plebes!” The Messiah didn't just say He was God: He interacted in people's lives and showed He was God. When John the Baptist sent his disciples to investigate Jesus, the savior told them “Go tell John what you hear and see: The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news proclaimed to them. Blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me” (Matthew 11:4-6)

And so I write to bring the reality of king Jesus rule to light on the pages of my book. This focus has been my desire since an event in my past helped me understand that it really doesn't take much to show God's light in a dark
