"Sometimes, just when you think life is going just the way you
expect, things can change. What once was normal and acceptable is
replaced by a sense that there is a better life to be lived, often
in surprising ways. This describes Mark Cornelison, contestant on
NBC s The Biggest Loser, before his life-changing experience on
this popular show.
Mark realized that the life he was living had to look different
and he gave God the freedom to, not only change him physically, but
also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well. This new
chance to live life brought with it a message that he knew could
change other people in the way it had changed him.
The world he had complicated with stuff, that we all think is
important, was taken away one layer at a time. He was then clothed
with a new, simple life. Now he shares the story and challenges you
with what he has learned from the journey.
Come see what needs to be taken off of you so that a better you
can truly live."

Endorsements
Even though millions of fans of The Biggest Loser know Mark from
his epic role in an epic season of the show, the back story of Mark
s journey overshadows anything that happened in front of the
camera. The story-behind-the-story is about a God who relentlessly
pursues us, and will use anything including a weight-loss reality
show to strip away the lies we live by, creating a hunger for Him
instead. And then He offers Himself, and His truths, to fill that
void. Read Mark s story, and you ll find what you ve always been
looking for.
Rick Lawrence: Editor of GROUP Magazine and author of Sifted and
Shrewd, Loveland, CO
One of the most freeing things to do in life is to replace the
lies we tell ourselves with the truth that comes from God s Word.
Mark captures this freedom in this refreshing, raw, and authentic
book. This book encourages the Church to be living proof that God
matters and people matter. And when we live out this truth, we can
impact people with Mark s own words, Do what you need to do today
to be the person you are meant to be tomorrow.

No one likes to be exposed, literally put on display for all to
see especially in front of a large audience. I would often joke
with Mark about how terrifying that must have been on The Biggest
Loser. However, exposure is what all of us need as we struggle
toward the authentic life that Christ desires for us...
J. Roger Davis: President of Student Life, Birmingham, AL
It is rare in the world that we live in to find someone doing
something without ulterior motives. We not only expect it, we look
for it. Mark writes this book out of a selfless desire to use his
experiences and knowledge to share tools that will help bring
healing, health, and deeper, richer relationships to others. This
book is as authentic as Mark himself.
