"Food is a blessing from God, but for a variety of reasons it is being misused and abused resulting in a national epidemic of ""lifestyle diseases"". Furthermore, a hurting world is trying to find ways to fill emotional hunger and anesthetize pain. Many of us allow food to take an inappropriate role when we use it as a substitute for our relationship with God and develop an emotional or addictive relationship with food instead. The Church may be at particular risk for the consequences of food abuse because many Christians believe that other ways of anesthetizing pain--promiscuous sex, alcohol and drug abuse--are more sinful and grievous offenses. As legitimate needs go unmet Christians often turn to the ""legitimate"" comfort of food. The N.E.W. LIFE book is written to help people who struggle with a poor relationship with food to better health, for individuals in bondage to food and diets to find freedom, and to help those who have settled for a relationship with food to discover the incomparably more satisfying relationship with God and the abundant life that Jesus died to give us.

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Diane Preves shares a much-needed ""word in due season"" to strengthen the Church by helping believers regain health and strengthen relationship with God. Diane brings 35 years of experience as a nutrition educator and the Word of God together to edify the Church and help the body of Christ achieve better health, energy, prevention of disease, and freedom from bondages to food, diets, body image and emotional eating. Diane's personal experience with a 5-tier, 15-year addictive relationship to food, diets, body image, exercise and the scale--from which she has been completely free for over 30 years--makes this e-book a must-read for anyone who needs real encouragement in their struggle with food and dieting failure."
