Not Food - Made to Crave Devotional - 60 Days to Craving God

Wonderful book that relates so much to my struggle with healthy living. Lisa's honesty and personal stories add so much to the challenge, yet victory I too have experienced. Weight loss and fitness improvement for sure, but a closer relationship with God is the satisfaction I've obtained. A great book to go through with a friend or group. Truly inspiring.

I start each morning by reading one of the devotionals. Each day I get encouragement and hope because Lysa has walked where I have walked and understands where I am emotionally and spiritually when it comes to junk food.

This is a most fantastic devotional! I would highly recommend it to anyone who is particularly struggling with weight or food issues. It can however, be geared toward any struggles you might be going through.

I participated in the book & DVD study last year and worked through the original book and participants guide twice. I lost 35 pounds last year and did not gain over holidays (yeah!) but needed some motivation to get back on track. I am trying to read the devotional one day at a time so I haven't finished but it is helping me. Some information is new but a lot of material is repeated in a new format. I'm not sure how well it would work as a stand alone book which is why I gave it 4 stars. However, if you made progress with M2C and just need that daily reminder to refocus then it is a 5*.

My wife begged me to order this devotional. She so love the original book, yet reads and rereads it, and maintains her doctor approved weight, but with a great struggle. Craving. It's not a sin, not curse, but can be a setback. Of course I said yes, and after some use ask her how she liked her new books, Devotional & Action Plan, from Made to Crave.

"A POWERFUL, inspiring, encouraging, THOUGHT-PROVOKING devotional, just like the original 'Made to Crave' was," she said. "Thoroughly seasoned with scriptures that have been very practical tools to help me in my weight-loss struggle.
..."Lysa also uses her very humanness and sense of humor to bring hope and help to these issues of food and how it affects my relationship with God.
..."As I read each day's devotional, two things happen: #1- I can't wait to read the next day's entry, and #2- I want hours to think about, reread, and absorb every word, till my soul is deeply touched. I know I'll read it over & over. A real gift from God."

And she will read it over and over, like her favorite novels. She's winning the life long regaining batter, partially to to Crave books, part God's power, part her own. At 60+, she's beautiful, even hot (may I ad as her husband). OK, I cheated as a man and sneaked a look, read a few devotionals. I found a fault. It's written especially for women. Not right, we men have needs too, and the advice, the scriptures, the thoughts can work just as healthy with men. Men need God's helping hand in weight control too.
This devotional should be "EVEN FOR (MEN) WHO DON'T CRAVE CARROTS."

The cost of "Made to Crave", the Devotional, and the Action Plan combined is less than the cost of one doctor visit, a month at the gym, a month's dues to a diet group, and you may save that amount next month on food purchase options.

I love my lovely weight-loosing wife, SHE is worth the book cost.

My wife and I are reading through the daily devotional, along with the book, together. Even though this is written by a woman to women for weight loss, as a man I dont feel threatened by what she says. I feel I am gaining so much from it in several areas of my life. And it is helping me understand better the struggles my wife goes through in her battle with her weight. God made both my wife and me to crave, and the two of us are learning to crave more of Him, together.
Also, the book and devotional arrived so much quicker than we thought they would. We are very pleased!!

Luv this book. I have learned how to "consider" before eating. But most of all I have learned how to Crave God first by reading his word or praying about everything. A must buy for all ladies seeking a daily devotion to encourage a healthy life style change.

I'm reading this devotional accompanying my weight loss program. It's really helping keeping me focused on the reasons I should be changing my eating habits. Some devotionals can get kind of dry and boring after a while, but this one has kept my interest. I enjoy it so much that even if I've had an exhausting day, I look forward to spending time reading it before bed. It's kind of like my retreat time. The authors stories and explanations are hysterical - I laugh because she sounds so much like me! She knows what's going on in the head of someone who has struggled with unhealthy eating habits. When I get discouraged and am tempted to just go ahead and let things slide, I read this book and realize that this woman has made it to the other side - victorious living with a healthy relationship with food. If she can do it, I can too. :)

I love Lysa's work, she is completely relatable and follows Jesus with her entire being, she is so encouraging and makes me feel normal in this food battle that so many deal with. I highly recommend any and all of her books!
