'NOURISH propels the reader toward a lifestyle of freedom through the balance of spiritual and physical health. Full of Scripture-based tips, reminders and yummy recipes, you'll close the book feeling you've breathed a breath of fresh air.--Danielle Chambers, worship leader, songwriter, and creator of The Front Porch blog As a model and fitness expert for more than a decade I know all too well about body image issues and unhealthy relationships with food. As a Christian, it certainly hasn't escaped me that the very magazines I am featured in and on perpetuate an ideal that many women feel burdened to achieve. With NOURISH, Katie encourages us all to dive into God's Word and discover His truths for our lives. Having wrestled with food and body image issues, being both overweight and underweight, Katie shares her personal testimony of how her relationship with God freed her from the burden to meet the ideals of the world and she lovingly shares with an open heart how you and I can do that in our own lives. She offers scripture, questions to ponder, prayers and recipes throughout the book like a best friend who is right there with you, lifting you up out of the trenches.
