Christ-Based Weight Management

by Steven B Davidson

Overview

Dr. Steven B. DavidSon is the torch-bearing Christ-Based Counselor in the nation. He presents the foremost Christ-Based Counseling approach to weight management. Dr. DavidSon launched his program with 150 participants from Westside Baptist Church in Lewisville, Texas. They lost an average of 9 pounds in seven days. The male and female record holders lost 22 pounds, and 15 pounds respectively in seven days. DavidSon calls the first seven days the, "Seven Days of Heaven." Several participants lost more than 40 pounds in four to six months. The group surpassed the one-ton mark in seven months. Dr. Davidson identifies diets as routinely unsuccessful eating plans. He also shatters the myth about exercise and weight-loss. However, weight loss is only the beginning of the story. Participants also reveal that the health advantages are undeniable including enhancements in facial appearance, digestive improvements, and reduction or elimination of other health issues. This book offers the essential Christ-Based Counseling principles. These principles and the walk-through methodology ignite believers' internal empowerment. Believers discover the truth, and the truth liberates their lives from the dietary agents of darkness.

Read an Excerpt

I have researched and compared the long term contributors to the field of Christian Counseling such as Adams, Wright, Narramore, Crabb and others. I have found that Dr. DavidSon’s Christ-based Counseling concepts are second to none. Dr. Paul Carlin, founder of Belief Therapy, and the Therapon Institute.

Weight loss is only a beginning. Members share about the other benefits such as discipline, improved health profile, and knowledge-based authority. As a pastor I strongly recommend Christ-based Weight Management, it has been a significant contributor to our discipleship efforts. Kenneth W. Blake, Westside Baptist Church, Lewisville, Texas.
