Rating:  Summary: Powerfully useful in so many areas of the Christian life! Review: As someone who has struggled with ten to twenty pounds for fourty years, I have read just about every book on the market and tried most of the diets-diet pills, etc.. My journey has been more because of wanting to be my best as a Christian and feeling that that is my responsibility, than with vanity. Reasonably Thin, by Jesse Dillinger is the first book I've read which takes the approach of bringing God maximum glory by eliminating the issue rather than trying to control it. This thrills my heart, as this is my goal for my life- to bring him maximum glory. I think chapters 10 and 11 where she deals with Eve's part in all of this and talks about eating for illegitimate reasons are brilliant. Her insights throughout the book are remarkably revealing and helpful to all the areas of my life. This book is extremely deep in its implications yet so easy to read and understand that a child could manage it. Great writing - easy reading and powerfully useful to the Christian life. I hope Ms. Dillinger writes many more books! Everyone could use a therapist like her!
Rating:  Summary: Reasonably Thin Review: God, through this book, has freed me from the bondage of destructive eating. I have been through many food and weight programs. This book is the last piece of the puzzle for me. I now know that I am free. My goal is to glorify God. The eating plan is so simple!Thank you God and Jesse! I learned so much about my thoughts, being passive and active relates not only to food but to every aspect of my life. I am praying God wishes me to begin a prayer group/book study of this book at my church.I want to be a servant to help others be free!Praise God!
Rating:  Summary: Well Written and Easily Understandable Review: Many thanks to Jesse Dillinger for writing Reasonably Thin. It opens our eyes to the concept of applying our faith not only to our eating habits, but all of life.I sincerely appreciated Ms.Dillinger's apparent love for our Lord as it flows freely throughout Reasonably Thin. Anyone with an eating disorder will be blessed reading this book, as I was. How soon may we expect another book from Ms.Dillinger? I look forward to more of her writings. What a joy it was to read Reasonably Thin. Thanks again!
Rating:  Summary: A process that works.... Review: Reasonably Thin, for me, is not just about weight, but rather about living free. Changing my thinking, changes me in every way, and Jesse Dillinger teaches how to do just that in this book. For the reader working on not being in "bondage" to anything, the process Jesse suggests works. I am grateful for this book and the truth it presents. Though written for everyone, this speaks to the individual. It is like sitting with a friend who knows the way to the otherside of where we are.
