You are invited to check out these books on weight loss written from a Christian and/or spiritual perspective. These books are all currently available from major book publishers, and you can purchase them at a good price from Amazon. I have not rated or reviewed these books. If you'd like to see my own take on the Christian weight loss movement, my recommendation on the best book you can buy on this topic, as well as my own weight loss plan, the spirit diet ... click here.

Daily Word for Weight Loss is an inspired addition to the successful Daily Word series. With the power of spirit on your side, you will reach your weight-loss goals-- one day at a time.
For so many people, whether your addiction is to a substance or merely to a certain way of thinking or acting, a profound humbling occurs when you realize that your problem is bigger than you are. The terror of realizing, even dimly, that you have no control over a self-destructive pattern of behavior—that as much as you would want to, you simply cannot stop—can mark a crucial turning point in your life. At that point, you go in one of two directions: either way, way down, or way, way up. . . .
This book is for you if you know in your heart that you are an addict, and that you are powerless before your addictive behavior. As the title promises, Marianne Williamson looks at weight loss from a spiritual perspective, bringing you 21 lessons that can be done separately or in conjunction with any other serious spiritual path. These 21 lessons are completely separate from anything related to diet or exercise—they will retrain your consciousness in the area of weight in order to break the cycle of overeating, dieting, and shame that rules so many lives. Finally, Marianne has brought you what you’ve been waiting for: help to heal your addiction once and for all!

Spiritual Secrets to Weight Loss By Kara Davis, MD
The root problem of being overweight or obese is not physical hunger but spiritual hunger. Spiritual Secrets to Weight Loss, organized into an easy-to-use fifty-day format, emphasizes both the physical and spiritual aspects of weight loss and encourages positive health habits and long-term lifestyle changes. This book will:
MOTIVATE people to make changes for better health ENCOURAGE them to stay on the path to permanent weight loss INSTRUCT them with facts and tips on nutrition, diet, and exercise INSPIRE them through the practical application of God's word
This award-winning book has been praised by some of the leading thinkers of our day. It is perfect for anyone who is tired of going from one failed diet to the next. If you are searching for an alternative to diets and are awakening to the idea that the answers to permanent weight loss and balanced health are not found outside of yourself, this book is for you. What are you really hungering for? Is it love? Comfort? Security? Author Bronwyn Marmo, who has gone from obesity to a healthy body, mind and spirit, says, "Whatever you truly desire in your life, you will never, ever find it in the food!" Rather, it is found when you reflect inward to your innermost source of truth and wisdom. Bronwyn ably leads the way as she shows you how to unlock the answers that lie within you right now.
- You will learn how to make eating a source of pleasure, not guilt.
Joni Woelfel has been there: She's faced the dreaded scale, debated the merits of the latest fad diet, and struggled to stop the yo-yo effect of dieting. What she has learned is that for all the emphasis on the science of weight loss, the personal and spiritual aspects matter just as much. Our bodies respond to our life stories through our mind/body/spirit connection.
In Craving Hope, Woelfel invites readers on a ninety-day weight loss journey through the challenges, emotions and insights she encountered on her own. Reflections include:
It's All Connected
When Nothing Is Happening
Preventing Roadblocks
Childhood Conditioning
Weightless Grace
Nation of Consumers
While this book is designed to be used in conjunction with a credible weight loss program, Woelfel recommends scientifically sound practices while encouraging readers to explore their relationships to food, exercise, family and God.
An easy to use resource for individuals, Craving Hope is also ideal for small group use and includes discussion questions and group activity suggestions at the end of each of its five parts.
