Food is both a great gift from our good Creator and a terrible taskmaster that keeps many of us in perpetual bondage. Asheritah invites us to break free from food fixation, to honor God and enjoy Him in our food choices, and to find true satisfaction in the fullness of His grace.

This is not a simple book on how to eat right and lose weight. Asheritahs fine research into the psychology of food fixation and the biblical and spiritual roots of this preoccupation is captivating. But she doesnt stop there. She surveys the biblical perspective of Gods gift of food and how to celebrate and serve others with food. An incredibly uplifting and hope-filled book.

This book isnt only about food; its also about worship. Full is a refreshing guidebook to help reframe your relationship with food as you draw closer to God. With practical solutions and gentle encouragement, Asheritah reminds us of this truth: food is a gift, and worship happens around a table.

After reading Full, I am convinced that it is a vital resource for all Christian counselors to help individuals and groups break free from food fixation and grow deeper in their walk with Christ. Asheritah compels readers to explore and uncover the spiritual and emotional roots of food fixation while also providing practical application steps toward health and wholeness. Full is refreshingly honest and compassionately convicting, addressing a topic that I have yet to hear preached from the pulpit in twenty-plus years of regular church attendance and yet one that every soul is hungry to hear.

If your relationship with food has been a battlefield for you, and if you would like to take a biblical approach in pursuing victory, then you should hit pause on your diet while embracing the mindset shift Asheritah unpacks in Full.

Full is the perfect blend of scriptural truths and practical applications exposing the mental battle we are engaged in.
