They say it takes 21 days to develop a habit. But we all know how hard it is to make through those first 21 days. "Taste for Truth" will help you get through those first few weeks when you'd like nothing better than to give up.

"Taste for Truth" offers 30 days of Bible study and hands-on renewing of the mind help. You'll be taking off the lies that make you overeat and putting on the truth that will make you actually "want" to eat with control.

"Taste for Truth" is a companion Bible study to "I Deserve a Donut (And Other Lies That Make You Eat)."

When you're in a tempting situation, all you can think of is the food. How good it looks. How good it smells. How good it will taste. What you need is a way to break the hold food has on you. I Deserve a Donut will help.

It is a hands-on, use-it-in-the-thick-of-the-battle book that will help you renew your mind right when you need it. It's filled with 150+ Bible verses, 37 sets of questions, and 20 sets of tips-all specifically chosen to help you take off the lies that make you eat and put on the truth that will set you free.

As you renew your mind, you'll notice your desires changing. You'll actually "want" to follow your boundaries. And that will make it easier to say no to the donut.

If you'd like a companion Bible study to this book, check out "Taste for Truth: A 30 Day Weight Loss Bible Study," also by Barb Raveling. Both books can be used alongside any healthy weight loss program.

This 8-week Bible study contains 40 daily lessons that will help you 1) break free from the stronghold of emotional eating and 2) let go of those negative emotions that rob your joy. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthian 10:3-5 that the answer to tearing down a stronghold isn't self-control - it's truth. Freedom from Emotional Eating will help you take off the lies that make you overeat and put on the truth that will set you free from the control of food.
