"In Becoming Lean and Free health leader Kris Doran Williams makes a vivid connection to those of us who have combined spurts of spartan discipline with subsequent slacking and bingeing. She admits she has “been there,” and invites the reader to visit where she is now. The book is an invitation to be whole – whole in body and spirit and rooted in our trust in God."
"The writing here is well organized and clear, and often uses quirky and humorous asides. Especially in the familiar style of her composed prayers, Kris Doran Williams shows the tested, down to earth, proven depth of her faith. She fulfills her stated goal in inviting the reader to “chew” on her advice at multiple levels."
