Cathy Barton's book is a sheer joy to read. The full title is a mouthful, which may be as it should be since it concerns a (non)diet Diet Book: 120 Days of God's Diet (no) Devotional (no) Restoration Routine for Plump Gals That Want to Better Themselves.
You do not have to be a plumb/chubby/fatso chick (none of these are my words, but trust me they are not used disparagingly) to enjoy this book. If you want change and transformation, no matter the subject, this book is for you. And if you need (no) would like (no) to lose weight, but it is too difficult for you to even contemplate (yes) for a multitude of reasons (yes), read the book just for the joy of it and forget that it has anything to do with (not) losing weight.
If you just want to (learn to) love yourself (for the first time ever) (more), then this book is for you. If you need to feel you are (worthy of being) loved, read it.
I recommend you order a copy today (I have no affiliation, but I must admit I know Cathy and she is as much fun, and as deep, in person as this book is. Plus our husbands were both going through very difficult times at about the same time.) Order a couple for friends. It has everything and nothing to do with weight -- how about weight of the heart? order one for you, then order for gifts when you realize what a wealth it is.
If you want to feel good and feel good about yourself, you will love this book. She is quick to admit she is no Bible scholar, but what the hey! she does a fantastic job.
She let her Bible open at random (is it really random!) to hear what God might say to her (and us.) Then she writes a short (max of 2 pages altogether) non-devotional. Well, it is a serious devotional, couched in a lot of humor, a whole lot of heart, and a mess of good ideas, written in a colloquial style that will have you in stitches while she manages to plug into your heart a whole lot of good thoughts.
The book is meant to be read and carried forward, day by day, but to tell you the truth, I just want to keep reading. I've even got my trusty pencil doing quite a bit of underlining. So my recommendation is read the whole thing; read as much as you can handle in a sitting; read some more; underline; skim the darn book; laugh your way through; then go back and do it day by day -- or re-read the whole book.
It is not available for Kindle, but we can hope.

Here's where you can go to see her daily (new) devotional as she works through the book herself:

Make no mistake, she is a beautiful woman, within and without, and I love her. She is awesome!
I rate it 5***** and I'm only to page 47 of 255. Plus I'm going back to underline. I hope she writes a second book. She is also making herself available to give talks. Check her out! BTW I bought my own copy, but I'm gonna have her sign it -- and I'm going to ask her if I'm in the book anywhere. (Of course as one of the wonderful, awesome, thin [no] happy ones!)
And believe me, I want to be in her first audience. I might even invite a few friends over.
