Eating Disorders: The Quest for Thinness (Edward T. Welch)
$5.62What started as an innocent diet has turned into a monster. You eat too little. You eat too much. You restrict. You binge. Some days you wish you could just forget about food. Can someone like you ever learn to eat normally?
Edward T. Welch describes how easy it is, in a weight-conscious world that also uses food for comfort, to take the small steps that lead to a full-blown eating disorder. The way out is by understanding the thoughts and emotions that trigger your eating habits, and then taking the big step of trusting God, instead of your food rules and rituals.

Addictions: A Banquet in the Grave – Finding Hope in the Power of the Gospel (Ed Welch)
$14.50Addiction is a worship disorder. Will we worship ourselves and our own desires, or will we worship the true God?
Scripture reveals the addict’s true condition: he is a guest at a banquet thrown by those intending to devour him, and he’s nearly already in the grave. (Proverbs 9:13–18)
Can we not escape our addictions? Ed Welch shows us that when we choose to follow Jesus, we can have immense hope in God, to supply power, so that we are no longer mastered by any addiction.
