How to Stop Using Food and Fear to Fill Spiritual Hunger
As of now, I have read all of the books Mrs. Dillehay has written!
Mrs. Dillehay explores how food traps people in sin (asceticism, gluttony, snobbery, and apathy) and also how to utilize food with eternal goals in mind. Especially interesting chapters cover topics like Christians who drink alcohol, fasting, and longing for heaven. Each chapter she begins with one of her food memories. Ending with "Food for Thought", each chapter has a few discussion questions, has a couple of ideas to put into practice, and finally, a book or scripture to read.
Having recovered from an eating disorder, she understands the power food/eating can hold over someone. Readers will not only learn about honoring God with their eating but will also gain insights about hospitality, sin, food fads/diets, and theology. Oh, she also enlightens the reader the proper way to eat a pomegranate (her favorite fruit)!
*Highly recommend.
