What People are Saying About Truly Fed
From the opening page you get a sense that this is not just a book of helpful
advice, but an invaluable life manual that has been born from a personal and
courageous journey. Gari acts as both experienced guide and compassionate partner
in the realm of disordered eating. Truly Fed not only offers hope, but a biblically
based, clear roadmap that leads from helplessness to empowerment. Steve Oedekerk,
Writer and Producer of Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty
I am so excited about Truly Fed. I have to tell you that God is already rocking my
world, and changing beliefs I have held dearly since I was 9 years old, which is
when I was put on my first diet. I just went to have ice cream with my husband-
it's the first time I've ever done that with him. I had never eaten a sweet thing
in front of him, not even our wedding cake! I wanted to share that I'm already
feeling freedom. I also feel closer to God than I have in a long time. I think
this study is revolutionary! Amity Connor
Bravo Gari, you have written a book that addresses every woman's battle- whether a
teen or a senior citizen- all women struggle with a distorted image of themselves.
This distortion inevitably leads to the disordered eating patterns that Gari
graciously addresses in her book. Having dealt with disordered eating and yo-yo
dieting-- this book has Truly Fed my soul a healing meal. This is the best book I
have ever read to equip women to break the chains of disordered eating. Jackie
Kendall, National speaker and best selling author of Lady in Waiting
Gari Meacham's Truly Fed class connects the dots of the many scriptural answers to
food issues today. My take-away list of verses will be in my heart for the rest of
my life, an ever present reminder that it's all about freedom. Gari has been there,
which gives her powerful credibility to walk alongside people. In sharing her
bondage experience, she gently helps us examine our own. A life changing study!
Bev Saylor, Professional writer and author
I didn't purge yesterday! This is the first time in months that I've gone a day
without throwing-up. Something just clicked with me after Truly Fed class. I was
so blessed and "filled"- it was incredible. I asked specifically for God to change
my mind, to make me want to abstain from my destructive habits...and guess what...He
did! I am realizing that the consequences are too great to continue in this
behavior. It's amazing to think that only a few weeks ago I wanted to go be with
Jesus in heaven. I think I'll enjoy being with Jesus here on earth instead! Brooke Soard
I found Truly Fed to be entirely biblical and soundly practical. Gari confronts
this issue with compassion, courage, and Christ-like humility. This is not just a
self-help book; it's an anointed description of a journey from despair to victory!
Rev. Charles Rizzo, Senior Pastor, Maranatha Church of the Nazarene
In a culture obsessed with body image and appearance, Gari Meacham has stepped back
to look at what is actually going on, and the devastation and loss caused to the
overeater, anorexic, and bulimic. The issue isn't what a woman eats or doesn't eat,
but why. She has moved through this valley and come out on the other side- offering
hope and insight to those traveling the same difficult path. She tells us the
truth, the truth that sets people free. Bobbe Evans, Director of Pro Athletes
Outreach
Truly Fed is unique and powerful. It moves away from the idea of fad diets and the
self-obsessed way our culture functions. Gari uses her own experiences, balanced
with scripture, to communicate how a life of freedom from food can be lived out.
This book and class helped me see that we are not just in a battle against our own
flesh and sinful nature, but a profoundly spiritual battle for our souls where the
enemy loves to keep people in bondage. Through Truly Fed Gari encourages and
articulates a message of freedom I haven't ever heard before. Debi Brooks, MA NCC
