Merciful Munching: Why Diets Don't Work, but the Grace of God Does (A Primer to the Gourmet Gospel Series‪)‬

The Lord's Favor in the Flavor!

Ever felt guilty about how much you eat? Or what you eat? Or when you eat? Let this book dispel your guilt!

A former journalist and religion correspondent, the author describes his own recovery from an eating disorder and, using principles from the Bible and great thinkers, shows why diets and "low-fat" foods are a path to condemnation and doomed to fail. Instead, he lights the way to joy and freedom, a peaceful path to your healthy weight.

Meanwhile, he celebrates the infinite variety of "Grace", meaning the "unmerited favor of God", and shows how this simple idea transforms us, both at the individual level as well as globally.

This book requires nothing of you. There are no affirmations to recite, no boring exercises, no burdens of any kind. Rather, let it take you gently by the hand and set you free!

"A majestic flow of words."

"Abdiel LeRoy shares that bliss of freedom of conscience in everything we do. He is one of our treasured spiritual guides—a man who cares deeply about setting us free from the unnecessary restrictions imposed on us, as well as those that are self-imposed! Read this book and breathe freedom. Highly Recommended."
