If You Have a Craving, I Have a Cure (Review and Giveaway)

January 16, 2013 by 5minutesforadmin

If you are looking for new ways to improve your life in 2013, might I suggest Sheri Rose Shepherd’s new book, If You Have a Craving, I Have a Cure? In this book, Sheri shares a number of very easy coaching tips to help you live out your faith while sharing over 100 recipes she used to lose more than 50 pounds!

About the book

Life can be hard . . . but food, faith, and fun are three amazing gifts from God to satisfy and refresh us every day. Yet all too often, we focus primarily on what we can not do, and what we should not eat—which leaves us feeling deprived and depressed. Instead of being energized by following Christ, we waste our days feeling bored and burnt-out on our faith, while battling the guilt that comes from craving the food that we love. In If You Have a Craving, I Have a Cure, best-selling author and speaker Sheri Rose Shepherd encourages you to embark on a new adventure with faith and food. She reveals the food coaching tips that enabled her to lose over 50 pounds and keep it off, and shares fun recipes in celebration of the healthy, delicious food our God created for us to enjoy. It’s time to let go of guilt, grab hold of grace, and recapture the life God craves for us to live! “Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!” (Psalm 34:8)

Sheri makes her voice relatable. It’s like you’ve been old friends forever and she just wants to share her heart. She opens each chapter with a personal story of her own and structures the chapters  around that story as follows:

  • Soul Food contains an opening scripture and a brief devotional.
  • New Life Recipes provide scriptures and tips to help you change your life.
  • Power Up With Prayer closes with scripture and prayer.
  • Recipes contain selections that relate to the chapter’s theme.
  • Taste of Truth provides a final thought on the topic.
  • A QR code provides access to additional health, weight loss and kitchen coaching tips.
