    About this series


    Eat to Your Heart's Content, for This Is Godly!
    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 invites you to embrace your God-given right to dine in joy and freedom.
    This book requires nothing of you—there are no affirmations to recite, no boring exercises, no burdens of any kind. Rather, let it gently take you by the hand and lead you to freedom!

    "A majestic flow of words."
    Amy's Bookshelf Reviews

    "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."

      Breathe Freedom in the Grace of God! Ever worried you don't live up to God's standards? Ever felt you don't measure up as a person of faith? Do spiritual teachings leave you feeling condemned? Then take heart! You are a "slave to righteousness"—in other words, someone naturally aligned with the will of God. So when the apostle Paul said, "The old has gone, the new has come," he was talking about you. So too was Martin Luther when he declared, "No sin is perceived" when God looks on us! The author awakened to these and other revolutionary truths when struggling with an eating disorder, and came to realize we are not subject to compulsive behaviors, because the addict died with Christ on the Cross! Drawing on a rich vein of wisdom throughout the ages, this book anchors you in immortal love and kindly invites you, as described by The San Franciso Review of Books, to "breathe freedom," and to return to that state of innocence bestowed on Adam and Eve before the commandment came, “Do not…” Here is a warm hug of support and reassurance, a testament to Christ's healing power, a work of vast literary achievement. Above all, it is an embrace of infinite love! "A majestic flow of words." Amy's Bookshelf Reviews "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!

      Sin is Unattainable! What if it were impossible to sin? What if all notion of "good" and "evil" were banished from our choices? What if the will of God were so embedded into our spiritual DNA that his point of view has become our point of view, his will our will? Then what freedoms would ensue! Well, all of this is true! In this groundbreaking work of rigorous, Bible-centered analysis, the author spells out the full extent of Christ's liberation in our lives, from how we think, feel, and act, to what we do with our bodies and with whom! Fear, worry, and condemnation are driven out, and in their place reign love and grace, "the unmerited favor of God". Meanwhile, this book draws on great thinkers and writers of the ages to share their insights: the poets ranging from Shakespeare to T.S. Eliot; the Christian storytellers from John Bunyan to C.S. Lewis; and the mystics from St. John of the Cross to Oswald Chambers. The result is a beautifully crafted and deeply researched work of literature and liberation, a blueprint for transformation, a love letter in the service of peace and joy. Now it awaits to set you free! "A majestic flow of words." Amy's Bookshelf Reviews "Abdiel LeRoy shares that bliss of freedom of conscience in everything we do.

      A Courtroom Drama Played Out in Heaven! "We are not unaware of the devil's schemes," wrote the apostle Paul. What are they? Masquerading as an angel of righteousness, accusing the faithful, and of course being the father of lies. Satan presents his evidence against us in the court of Heaven, summons his witnesses, and cites chapter and verse to condemn us. But we have an advocate in Heaven, our friend, our intercessor, and witness for the defence. How will this courtroom drama play out? With brilliant analysis and lively wit, this book takes a deep dive into Biblical truth, while drawing on great thinkers of the ages, among them Shakespeare, Benjamin Franklin, Oscar Wilde, Tolkien, and even Monty Python! The commentary also takes a thorough look at Satan's servants in our earthly institutions of power and draws on a rich supply of anecdote to illustrate abuses of that power. You will be entertained, enlightened, and above all, empowered by this literary and theological triumph.
