Product Description
Eating disorders–including anorexia, bulimia, and compulsive overeating–are among the most painful and difficult illnesses a person can face. Sufferers know firsthand the confusion and agony these illnesses can bring. They also know how it feels to long for hope–and to wonder if victory can ever be achieved.
The truth is, eating disorders affect the whole person. Yet treatments often focus on emotional issues alone. In this powerful book for individuals who suffer from eating disorders and those who love them, Dr. Gregg Jantz fills in the gaps left by traditional treatment programs, tackling not only the emotional, but also the crucial and all-too-often ignored relational, physical, and spiritual dimensions of healing.
Outlining a comprehensive, holistic, and practical approach, Hope, Help, and Healing for Eating Disorders brings spiritual, relational, and physical elements back into the healing process. Described by best-selling author and physician Lendon Smith, author of Feed Your Kids Right, as “the most helpful book on eating disorders there is,” this book will, with God’s help and grace, lead readers out of their bondage to eating disorders and permanently transform lives. |

A Must Read! 
This book is a must read for anyone who has been touched by eating disorders! Dr. Jantz walks the reader through the pain and issues, always from a loving, compassionate- and relevant - Christian approach. The reader is guided to greater tools of healing and recovery through this book; the journal and "workbook" aspects of it alone, shine a much needed light of God's love and truth to the individual and to the disorder. It is a must read for those afflicted in any way, as well as for those within the field of eating disorder treatment and recovery!

Great concepts for treating eating disorders 
I am a minister that does counseling with individuals struggling with a variety of issues including eating disorders.
Over and over again I find that the issues that Dr. Jantz address in this book are common among those I counsel. Especially the area of unforgiveness. I am convinced that unforgiveness is the #1 root of much mental illness, addictions, and emotional instability.
I really appreciate Dr. Jantz's whole-person approach to the treating of eating disorders. Too many times counselors and treatment facilities only deal with changing behavior and ignore the other areas of a person's life. Based upon my experience, unless all areas of a person's life is addressed they will not experience long term recovery.
Reading teh book you come to understand that Dr. Jantz is interested in more than a person having victory over eating disorders-his goal is for them to become a whole person in all areas of their life.

wasn't as helpful as I thought it would be. 
As a woman of God, I looked to this book for hope and faith that one day I'll overcome my eating disorder. I am currently 2 years into recovery from EDNOS.
However, although this book isn't as bad as "the best little girl in the world," I was not pleased. I felt like it was going no where. I didn't really get any answers at all. The continuous repetitive thoughts going through my mind basically read "okay, but... I already knew that... what's next?"

Not worth it! 
If you are not a religious person, don't waste your time. Too much God and not enough healing.

Not worth the time!
I was first attracted to this book because it had exactly what I have been looking for- a list of questions and activities to do at the end of each chapter to help you recover. I do not agree with the approach the auther took at ALL. I admit, I didn't finish the book. I was THAT annoyed with it. It seemed to start down the trail of claiming that all eating disorders stem from some sort of abuse or another. The way it is written, it has you blame anyone you want; it seems as though the author is just setting you up for wanting revenge. At first I tried to follow along, but soon realized I was making up events and completely exaggerating things, just to "fit" into their mold that my eating disorder is a direct cause from abuse. Maybe this book helps people who really do have abuse issues that caused their eating disorder. I don't know, so I can't review this book for those people. But if you, like me, have had no history of abuse, don't even bother thumbing through this one. Just move on to the next book.
