I enjoyed this book thoroughly until about 1/2 through when it started to really become redundant. In the pages that I read, I was encouraged and inspired. I guess, as I sit here thinking about it, I got all I needed from it in the first half of the book!
I would still recommend this to anyone looking for some guidance to praying through food addiction and cravings!

I received a digital copy of "Full" from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
A quick, easy to read book, aimed at helping those who are looking for answers as to why they eat the way they do. The author provides questions at the end to tie together what has been written.

I liked the content, but I think it could have been much more concise. By the end of the book I was definitely rereading.

Full: Food, Jesus and the Battle for Satisfaction
As I continue to work towards the journey towards freedom surrounding health and my relationship with food, I'm learning more about relationship. In Full, Asheritah Ciuciu begins by reminding us that the real problem isn't the food we're eating. Rather, it's the lies that we chose to believe about the food that we eat.
And it seems, at least for me, that the lies stem from a disordered relationship with God. The cure, Ciuciu shares, is to restore a relationship with God, and feast on the Word of God.
I think the thing I loved most about this book was that Ciuciu is still on this journey with us. Rather than writing from a place of one who arrived, Ciuciu is still on this journey towards freedom with food. She encourages us to continue to think creatively, to immerse ourselves in scripture, and depend on God and community.
Food Fixation
Ciuciu spends much of Full focused around the idea that we often suffer from food fixation. It's the idea that we get so focused on food that we take our eyes off of the things that truly matter. It's more than the foods we choose to indulge in. Or the foods we choose to restrict ourselves from. It's about building a stronger relationship with God so that we can be full. When we have a stronger relationship with God, our relationship with food becomes more healthy as a result.

Outstanding book. Every chapter had something I needed to hear. I've had this book on my shelf for about a year and I am kicking myself for not picking it up. I have a ton of sticky notes holding everything I need to reread. I will be reading the entire book again soon. 5/5 stars.
