God Gluttony and You

By Brenda J Wood

Bookstore shelves are lined with diet books, but I have yet to find one that challenges the very root cause of overweight as well as this one. By first seeking help for our attitude, our ability to eat properly will be more successful.
The author challenges us to consider what the Bible says about overeating and then helps us apply these truths to our lives.
It is reassuring that God, through his unconditional love, accepts us as we are, yet as we walk in obedience to him, He sets us free to be all that we are meant to be.

I call myself the ABC girl’ because I’ve survived the alphabet biggies of abuse, bulimia, and cancer.Right now I am working my way through the D’s that is recovering from the loss of my husband a few months ago.I expect to conquer the entire alphabet in my life time with the help of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.I am a somewhat average gal, not too tall, not too round, not too old or too young. I am not too outgoing, yet I am definitely not an introvert.I started to write seriously when I learned that journaling could help a person overcome sexual abuse. I thought that is for me! Eventually I started publishing the devotions that fill my journals.Some of those devotionals became the book, Heartfelt Devotionals-366 devotions for common sense living.My devotionals appear regularly at http://everydaychristian.com / and http://daily.presbycan.ca /I tend to write about what is happening in my life. Constant dieting produced the Bible Study, God, Gluttony & You, as well as several health related cookbooks.When Ron passed, I wrote a picture/story book for grieving children, called The Big Red Chair (2011).Meeting Myself-Snippets from a Binging and Bulging Mind (Word Alive Press) is the newest release. As you might expect from the title, it’s the painful, though often funny story of my recovery from abuse and bulimia. I’m honoured that both Michael Bull Roberts and Nikki Rosen read and endorsed it.You might have guessed by now that my next book will be about losing my Honey. I guess you could say that writing saved my life. Oh, I know that without Jesus and my husband Ron, (who was my ‘Jesus with skin’) I’d have sunk. But writing gives me a place to look at my life and recognize how far I’ve come.

Sometimes it is a trying task,

Being Lord, all that you ask;

But we choose to learn, accept, obey;

For you are potter, we are clay.

How to use God, Gluttony & You

It takes courage to face up to our sin. That’s why we need Jesus as our personal saviour. Gluttony, (the permissible Christian sin) destroys our Christian witness. Our lack of self-control is a blemish on God’s call to holy living.

This study delves into all aspects of gluttony, from the act itself to the resulting poor stewardship, time management and more.

Note: Gluttons aren’t necessarily overweight; the overweight are not necessarily gluttons.

Every diet requires a doctor’s approval. Consult a physician, especially if you have medical problems and certainly if you have any type of eating disorder.

God, Gluttony & You may be used in a group or individually. Don’t be discouraged by the lesson length. Spend time in prayer. Let God set the pace. Record your answers in a journal.

May God encourage you and bless your heart and life as you deal with your eating behaviours. To get the most out of this study, be sure to read the next page.

A special thank you to all who attended God, Gluttony & You in its formative stages!

Blessings, Brenda J Wood

If you haven’t yet invited Jesus to be your Lord and Saviour, just say this simple prayer.

Dear Jesus,

I believe that you are the Son of God. I believe you loved me so much that you died on the cross to pay the price for my sin.

You rose from the dead
