Joyce Meyer, best-selling author and Bible teacher, "With great humor, insight and real-life stories, Dr. Mintle shares biblical truths to combat the negative body image most women are plagued with. A wonderful book for anyone less than happy with their physical appearance."

Terry Meeuwsen, co-host Living the Life and the 700 Club "The Word tells us that we are 'fearfully and wonderfully made'. Yet most of us are fearfully wondering if we are ever going to be able to drop the extra ten pounds we've mysteriously put on. Dr. Linda helps us put it all in perspective and honor our Creator in the process. I love the balance she brings to a subject that touches all of our lives."

Anita Renfroe, Comedian, author and Good Morning America consultant "Dr. Linda is a woman who knows what matters to women and how to communicate truth with passion. She gives us all hope that we can choose substance over image in a culture that tells us quite the opposite."

From actresses and models to CEOs, housewives, teachers and moms, body obsession is eating away at women's souls and causing anxiety from middle school to mid-life. "It's our one common denominator as females", says Dr. Linda Mintle, "celebrity or not". And the cultural whiplash to be thin, but not too thin, has left many victims in its path, including the author . . . until she learned what it took to stop the obsessive cycle. Her experiences, which she shares in this book, some of them hilarious and some of them poignant affirm that we don’t have to carry this anxiety with us from womb to tomb. But giving up the baggage, she says, involves getting a grip on who we are, what we believe and why we care so much about our looks. This book, from one of the nation's leading authorities on eating disorders, will be your friend and guide.

This positive, practical, and inspirational guide will help parents find spiritual and behavioral solutions to help their kids achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Acclaimed specialist, Dr. Linda Mintle, gives parents the information and encouragement they need to raise happy, healthy kids. As childhood obesity rises to epidemic proportions, every parent is faced with challenges that were not an issue a decade ago. Dr. Mintle addresses the toxic environment that impacts every family-overscheduling, eating on the run, sedentary options instead of active play, even school systems that no longer include physical activity. She then presents real life solutions that have immediate and long-term results for every family.

With breezy charm, therapist and mom Mintle gives encouraging, straightforward advice to parents who want to change their children’s eating habits. This book is chock-full of practical tips: if your child tends to snack too much between meals, store those leftover brownies in a hard-to-reach cabinet, not out on the counter-top in plain view. She also offers advice on healthy activity. These days, kids spend more time in front of the TV or playing on the Internet and less time exercising, so take the televisions out of the children’s bedrooms and organize a neighborhood hoops tournament. Without laying blame or inducing guilt, Mintle suggests that parents need to attend not just to their children, but to their own eating habits as well. If you snack on candy bars all the time, it’s unlikely that your kids will gravitate towards carrots. She also suggests we toss out the magazines that perpetuate myths about body image—they’re not good for our kids, and they’re not good for us! Mintle’s biblical worldview—that’s the “spiritual” in the subtitle—is addressed subtly. Religious parents will appreciate her perspective, but more secular readers will not find Mintle’s religiosity too invasive. Mintle’s essential insight?
