Summary: Spiritual Nourishment
Review: Deborah Kesten has restored my faith in books about nutrition. Normally, I can't read anything about "diet." All that info about carbs, proteins and fats being good one day, bad the next, make my head explode. Deborah Kesten's approach is like a good friend, who sees you're confused, sits you down, and gently guides you back to clarity--and she does it with grace and a committment to feeding the spirit as well. She makes eating not only safe again but a true delight.

Summary: Feeding the Body, Nurturing the Soul
Review: Feeding the body, nurishing the soul leads us to experience the same soul in all. Kesten brilliantly looks at how we all have the same basic need for feeding and maintaining the body, yet express it so differently. By following the different rituals page by page, she leads us to communion with our own soul and then unties us, though our differences. I use this book to envision blessing my food and seeing it though the eyes of other cultures and it has been eye opening. Thank you for writing about this most important topic.

Summary: FEEDING THE BODY, NOURISHING THE SOUL
Review: Over the years, I've read a lot about the influence that thoughts and feelings have on health and well-being. FEEDING THE BODY, NOURISHING THE SOUL is especially unique in that it explores new nutrition territory: the link between thoughts, feelings, and food. Because the book isn't a quick fix, not only did I find myself slowing down in order to "get" what the author was writing about, over time, I also realized that I was seeing and appreciating food in a new way. For me, this book has been an extraordinary journey.

Summary: Feeding the Body, Nourishing the Soul
Review: This book is extraordinary in that it is a re-visioning of nutrition and food; I've never read anything like it before. More and more, as I read each chapter, I came away with an entirely new perspective about what food is. Now, I no longer see food as merely fuel that keeps us going; rather, it is a gift that can nourish us on many levels--if we're willing to take the time to absorb the wisdom in this book.Since reading Feeding the Body..., not only do I appreciate food a lot more, I'm actually enjoying it in a more meaningful way. For those of you who are interested in relating to food in a new way, this book is a gem. Specifically, it will show you how to move beyond a diet mentality, and return to the life-giving pleasures of food that most of us no longer acknowledge. Another consideration: This book is packed with incredible new insights about food and nutrition, but it isn't a "quick fix," nor is it an "easy read." Getting the benefits of its wisdom calls for reading it carefully, and taking the time to consider what it has to say. If you do, it may change your view of food forever.

Summary: Feeding the Body, Nourishing the Soul
Review: This is an extraordinary book that changed the way I see food and its role in my life. I'm fascinated about the subject of food, nutrition, and diets, but I've never read anything like this book before. More and more, after reading it, I've been able to let go of a diet mentality, and instead, actually begin to enjoy food. Feeding the Body... is filled with incredible insights about food that most of us no longer acknowledge or are aware of. A word of warning: This book isn't a "quick fix," nor is it an "easy read." Being able to benefit from its abundant wisdom asks that you take the time to read it carefully while considering its insights--in the same way you might mull over poetry. For me, this has been an exception read, and a wonderful food journey I will always remember.
