DISCOVER what`s been keeping you from weight loss success
After almost 30 years of helping thousands of people, just like you, to get in shape, I realized there is a lot more to losing weight than merely ‘diet and workout’. While those are essential elements, for many, they only result in the classic yo-yo diet effect, if any effect at all.
The causes for this are many but in essence, the reason you can’t successful keep weight off is because you are still in spiritual and emotional bondage, that must be identified and broken before any weight loss will become permanent.
The type of bondage of which I speak can be emotional eating, a false sense of identity, or a deep seated need to stay the way you are (which you might not even consciously realize). You cannot overcome these obstacles alone! If you could, you wouldn’t be here reading this right now. But you are not alone! God can and will help if you bring him into this area of your life. And I too will assist you, if you let me, through this book and our free Facebook group - the Weight Loss, God’s Way Challenge!
While the book reveals the blockages that are stopping you and the biblical principles that will set you free, it’s in the Weight Loss, God's Way Challenge where the blessings occur as you work with others (and myself!) to put these principles into daily action in your life. We see people achieving amazing success and breakthroughs every month in the group and we look forward to helping you achieve your breakthrough as well.

If you are convinced that there`s other factors preventing you from reaching your goal.
If you are frustrated with your lack of will-power and discipline to lose your excess weight…
‘Healthy by Design: Weight Loss, God’s Way’ Will Help you to…
Before you go on another diet or weight loss program, you need to address the real issues that have kept you losing weight and keeping it off. Weight Loss, God's Way is not another Christian diet book, but helps you to finally understand why you do what you do (emotional eating, snacking, lack of exercise, lack of motivation, etc.) and how to begin to overcome those limiting beliefs, and issues, through a bible-based Christian approach that will help you to achieve permanent and natural weight loss, grow spiritually as you learn to trust more in God in all areas of your life and begin to treat yourself with the same love and care that God desires for you in the area of your health and weight.
Just a few bored billionaire brothers having fun. But at whose expense?
The Wilde brothers have spent the past few years reaping the rewards of their youth, good looks, and massive wealth. They can acquire whatever 'toy' or amusement they desire, and fly wherever they want, whenever they want, with practically whomever they want. Still, they want more—at least Alec, the eldest, does, and he has an idea how to get it.
To alleviate their eventual boredom with the easy life, the brothers propose specific games—dares, chases, and challenges—to each other every year on their birthday. They've bedded supermodels, famous actresses and pop stars, but this year, Alec proposes they go after someone from their past—someone 'normal' yet elusive—and give them the time of their life.
Brandon and Connor have to think hard about their prospects, but Alec knows exactly who he wants go after: Dahlia Bridges—a girl who has haunted him since their playground days. He thinks she could be the missing puzzle piece in his otherwise full, decadent life and he will do everything in his power to make her his.
But how much will it take?

With family, the bank, and the weather conspiring against them, can Amelia and Lucas ever hope to grow the love blooming between them?
Written in a distinctive voice, with the soul and rhythm of the blues, Judith
Podell's stories cover a range of obsessions that include the best of 20th
Century angst: cigarettes, psychoanalysis, sex, love, death, and cats.
Working in the same tradition of Woody Allen, Grace Paley and Nora
Ephron, Podell's observations about life, love and loss would be
heartbreaking if they weren't so funny.
The title story, “Blues for Beginners,” a riff on how to write the blues, struck such a familiar chord when it was originally published, it was instantly claimed by the world at large as something that belonged to all of us.
Throughout the other 9 stories, Podell continues to hit all the right notes -- bringing us characters we all might have known and situations we might have been in ourselves. If we’d been lucky enough to live in Greenwich Village in the 70s. Or Washington, DC in the 80s.

Sara Barnes thought her life was perfectly ordinary – until the night she began stepping into other people’s dreams.
Follow Sara as she learns to cope with this extraordinary gift (or curse) in the first three books of the Dream Series:
DREAM STUDENT
It’s bad enough that, thanks to her supernatural talent, Sara is learning more than she ever needed to know about her friends and classmates, watching their most secret fantasies whether she wants to or not. Much worse are the other dreams, the ones she sees nearly every night, featuring a strange, terrifying man who commits unspeakable crimes. Now Sara wonders if she’s the only witness to a serial killer – and the only one who knows when and where he’s going to strike next.
DREAM DOCTOR
Medical school and life as a newlywed would be enough by themselves for anybody to handle. But Sara’s got another problem – her dreams have started up again. Almost everyone at the medical school is dreaming about the death of the school’s least popular teacher, Dr. Morris, and once again, Sara finds herself in the role of unwilling witness to a murder before it happens. But this time, there are too many suspects to count, and it doesn’t help matters that she hates Dr. Morris every bit as much as any of his would-be murderers do.
DREAM CHILD

Unraveling a mystery with lives on the line is difficult enough under the best of circumstances. But when Sara has to view all the evidence through the eyes – and dreams - of a toddler, it may be an impossible task.
