What a wonderful book. A combination of sensible weight-loss advice with a dose of spirituality. Even though the book is based on the Christian faith and I am Muslim I found the book to be gentle, encouraging and doable. I loved the prayers at the end of each chapter and even copied them down to say daily. Gentle eating has helped me to realize that by taking baby steps and seeking God's help I can overcome my weight problem, which I am doing one day at a time.
