"Food Triggers: Exchanging unhealthy patterns for God-honoring habits" by Amber Lia was everything I hoped and anticipated it would be。 I have been so encouraged as a mother and wife by her Parenting Triggers， Parenting Scripts， and Marriage Triggers books。 These books have encouraged and equipped me as a Christian wife and mother to respond with more gentle and thoughtful biblical responses to the external and internal triggers that so often trip me up or cause angry reactions。 Food Triggers fo "Food Triggers: Exchanging unhealthy patterns for God-honoring habits" by Amber Lia was everything I hoped and anticipated it would be。 I have been so encouraged as a mother and wife by her Parenting Triggers， Parenting Scripts， and Marriage Triggers books。 These books have encouraged and equipped me as a Christian wife and mother to respond with more gentle and thoughtful biblical responses to the external and internal triggers that so often trip me up or cause angry reactions。 Food Triggers follows a similar layout addressing thirty-one food triggers which are divided into external and internal triggers。 There are so many relevant tips and suggestions throughout this book about forming new habits， but more than anything I feel within the pages of this book is the restorative， life-giving encouragement to "let this be a season when you learn to awaken hope that God is who he says He is。。。that He will meet us in our weakness。。。and that we can pray with expectation for the Holy Spirit to transform us" as we keep moving forward。 Amber Lia gently draws readers up into maturity to wrestle through these Triggers and shares her story with vulnerability。 You cannot help but read these words and be encouraged with the truth and hope。 。。。more

I am grateful to Amber for her willingness to be honest about her struggles。As I have read her books， I find myself in the pages。 As she writes about her food triggers， I see many of my own。This book is well-written and gave me some added motivation to continue my own health journey。I am most grateful for her use of Scripture throughout the book。For me， health is about so much more than a number on a scale。 It is about my whole being。 I cannot work on my own health without incorporating my relat I am grateful to Amber for her willingness to be honest about her struggles。As I have read her books， I find myself in the pages。 As she writes about her food triggers， I see many of my own。This book is well-written and gave me some added motivation to continue my own health journey。I am most grateful for her use of Scripture throughout the book。For me， health is about so much more than a number on a scale。 It is about my whole being。 I cannot work on my own health without incorporating my relationship and dependence upon the Creator。Thank you Amber for another well-written and encouraging book。Cheers！！ 。。。more

I'm SO very thankful about this book。 The author is clear， practical and vulnerable。 You find wisdom and hope in her voice。 This book is a great resource for anyone who wants to change habits and overcome obstacles with food and bad routines in life。 I'm glad I started the year with this reading。 I can't wait to start a small group with friends to talk about this topics， read the book together and keep momentum going。 I'll definitely keep checking this author resources and books in the future。 W I'm SO very thankful about this book。 The author is clear， practical and vulnerable。 You find wisdom and hope in her voice。 This book is a great resource for anyone who wants to change habits and overcome obstacles with food and bad routines in life。 I'm glad I started the year with this reading。 I can't wait to start a small group with friends to talk about this topics， read the book together and keep momentum going。 I'll definitely keep checking this author resources and books in the future。 What a blessing。 。。。more

When we struggle with food issues there are almost always triggers behind that struggle。 This book addresses both the struggle and the triggers without guilt but rather with hope。

This book has impacted my life a lot。 It has not only put into perspective a lot of things that I was already questioning but it has also helped me grow spiritually。 The part that stuck out the most to me was when it talked about boredom eating。 I am a total boredom eater but that is going to change thanks to Amber for writing this amazing book。

So far， I'm loving the easy read。 The short chapters are helpful for busy people。 Read 1 chapter a day and you can get through this book in a month。 This book helped me realize how to manage my emotions better so I can better handle my "emotional eating。" I want to honor God by honoring my body， and Amber Lia really is helping me get there。 So far， I'm loving the easy read。 The short chapters are helpful for busy people。 Read 1 chapter a day and you can get through this book in a month。 This book helped me realize how to manage my emotions better so I can better handle my "emotional eating。" I want to honor God by honoring my body， and Amber Lia really is helping me get there。 。。。more

Amber is an inspired and talented author。 She beautifully leads us through the most common food triggers that many of us experience in our society today。 The book is written in a monthly devotional style， so it is easy to read。 It is FULL of Godly wisdom and research， so you will benefit in many areas when you read it。 Take this step forward to improving your health for good and achieving your goals。 You will love it。。。I sure did！

O my goodness！ What a journey this book has been！ It felt like Amber was reading my mind with each chapter; addressing my most secret concerns and doubts。 This book is not another diet book。 This book address the reasons WHY you might struggle to loose weight or keep it off。 This has brought so much perspective and freedom！

I am so excited about this book！！！ Over these past couple of years I have been on a journey to improving myself。 One of the things I have learned is that I have had an unhealthy relationship with food。 I’ve used it for entertainment， comfort， stress relief， instead of it’s intended purpose as fuel。 This book looks at many of the common triggers that cause us to overeat and gives great spiritual instruction and practical examples to help change those ingrained and destructive habits surrounding f I am so excited about this book！！！ Over these past couple of years I have been on a journey to improving myself。 One of the things I have learned is that I have had an unhealthy relationship with food。 I’ve used it for entertainment， comfort， stress relief， instead of it’s intended purpose as fuel。 This book looks at many of the common triggers that cause us to overeat and gives great spiritual instruction and practical examples to help change those ingrained and destructive habits surrounding food。 One of the special things about this book is that the author has experience in this area。 She has been there and she shares her personal struggles and victories。 She also works to help others on their health journeys and shares their experiences as well。 The book is filled with scriptures that are applicable to this topic， and each chapter ends with a prayer。 Then， the last two chapters guide the reader on what to do when their goals have been met and how to maintain their healthy lifestyle。 This book is such a sweet gem and was exactly what I was hoping for to help me along my weight loss journey。 。。。more

Food Triggers by Amber Lia was a great book for me。 I enjoyed how she broke the book into 30 small chapters to read one a day。 The daily prayers alone would be a huge help to Christian wanting help with eating issues。 The book is divided into two sections: Internal and External food issues。 And she addresses each one from a practical and Christian standpoint。 I truly enjoyed the book – admittedly I read over half of it in one day。 My book study group is planning to read it together in January。

This book was informative and very helpful。 I think it will help me with my junk food addiction， particularly chocolate。 By understanding why I rely on them， I can better conquer them。
