Q: Hopeful for those who seek harmony in the world . I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who thinks that religious wars, repression of individual spirits or rape of the earth are good things. Those who seek peace, harmony, celebration of each of us and respect for our earth will find this hopeful

Q: A Deceiving Title . This sounds like an ideal book for a person with an eating disorder. But it heaps loads of guilt and condemnation on an already needy and suffering soul. The idea that over or undereating is sin is one concept. But the fact is that the individuals embroiled in this cannot help themselves. They are already people pleasers and perfectionists, how can telling them the whole problem is because they are sinners be of help? They are already as good as they can get themselves to be. They are not bad--they are hurt and afraid. It has been said no one can overcome an eating disorder without the help of a therapist. This I believe. There are too many important issues involved in this DISEASE to dismiss it as sin. If the person knew the issues they would be a long way to getting help. God loves these dear ones and understands the enormity of their situation and their pain. These are very good people. Heaping more condemnation on one beset with self-loathing is surely not the path to freedom. Adding God's displeasure to this already mountainous pile of self hate can only be damaging--perhaps pushing some over the edge. A good book to avoid!!
A:
NEG
