Reshaping It All: Motivation for Physical and Spiritual Fitness, by Candice Cameron Bure with Darline Schacht is by far one of my new favorite reads!  It is more than that, it was life-changing for me.  It is a practical book that I will pick up over and over!  You can purchase a copy here on amazon.   

Have a chance to WIN YOUR OWN COPY
at the end of my review!

I don’t know if you are like me, but I get super board with long book reviews.  I will try to make this short and sweet…  here’s my TOP 10 REASONS I loved this book (in no particular order).
MY TOP 10 REASONS I LOVED THIS BOOK!
1)  I love reading about how we can keep our bodies trim and fit for God’s glory.  I am passionate about women’s health.
2) I love how this book talks about reshaping our spiritual life and our physical bodies.  I believe that there is a connection (and should be) as christian women!
3) Such an easy read!  It normally takes me forever to read a book.  I read this one in less than 3 days.  Couldn’t put it down and couldn’t wait to pick it back up!
4) I grew up watching Candice on Full House.  I love seeing what a beautiful woman of God she has grown up to be!  She is truly beautiful inside and out.
5) At the end of each chapter you will find a section called “The Pantry: Chocked-Full of Food For Thought”.  The pantry is organized for readers on the go, who want to flip open the book and grab something to chew on.  It has 6 quick parts:
a) The Main Ingredient (A quick re-cap)
b) A Slice of Advice (Candice answers fan mail)
c) A Pinch of Practicality (practical application)
d) Food for Thought (verses used in the chapter)
e) The Candy Dish (A special quote)
f) From My Stove to Yours (AWESOME HEALTHY RECIPES)
6) Candice is honest about her past struggles with an eating disorder and her spiritual walk.  Very candid and someone you are sure to relate to in many ways.
7) She has a bunch of pictures in the middle!  I’m such a visual person that I loved this section.
8) It is much more than a biography, but a truly motivating tool that will be able to put you back on the right track toward a better physical and spiritual fitness regimen that really lasts!
9) She offers a biblical perspective on appetite and self-control that really encouraged me.  I love to eat… but Candice really speaks direct about our sin of gluttony and why we overeat. 
10) Candice says, “Diets usually fail for one or all of these three reasons:
a) No pain No Gain.  We choose to sprint instead of training for the long run.
b) We’re Spoiled.  We try to change only the food that we eat instead of changing our mind-set.
c) Lack of Conviction.  We don’t truly believe that the benefits are worth the effort it takes to get us there.”
Which one are you?  Are you looking for a practical, inspiring, life-changing book that will be sure to get your spiritual and physical back on track?  Have you been struggling for years, only to be left more depressed and discouraged.  Pick of this book!

  3. I have been wanting to read this book!! 🙂

    I would like to read this book because I have learned that there is a connection between our health/food choices and our spiritual life. I also grew up watching Full House and have always loved the Cameron family.

    I am already a fan of Candice’s page, your page and Darlene’s page.

    I already follow Darlene’s blog and keep up with Candice’s blog.

    I just subscribed to your blog.

    And last, sharing this contest now! 🙂

  4. I’ve recently seen several things about this book. I’d like to read it because I am finally taking the first steps to a healthier life. I am deciding it is time to start eating better and making exercise more of a priority. I take care of everyone else more than I take care of myself. I think this book would be a good motivational tool.

  5. I’d love a copy of her book because I’m always needing reminders about discipline in my Christian life and encouragement to ‘run the race’ instead of sprinting and stopping.

  10. I would love to read Candace’s book. I grew up watching her too. Everything you said in your review sounds like something I can really relate too.

  15. I have wanted to read this book FOREVER! I struggle with health/fitness being measured by better standards than my scale and would like to give myself a “healthy” perspective.

    Blessings,
    Melanie

  25. I’d love to have an extra viewpoint on God and fitness for our bodies…thanks for this chance! Looks like a great book!

  26. I would love to win this because it would encourage my spiritual life and to keep up with the physical side of my life, too 🙂

  27. Thanks so much for posting about her book – i love her and her brother and had no idea she had a great read out for purchase! =) i will be sue to add it to my library!

  28. I have heard so much about this book and would love to read it. I follow your page and love to read your blog. Thanks!

    I’m a fan of Candace’s page, and have learned so much from her. One of my best friends is recovering from Anorexia and Bulimia, it’s a constant struggle for her, but with God’s help she will persevere.

  44. Why would I want to read this book? Because of your great revie, of course! And I need the motivation to do something other than worry about my health as I grow older. Thanks for the chance.

  46. I saw her promoting this book recently and it looks very interesting. I’m pursuing a more consistently healthy lifestyle and think this would be a great source of encouragement.

  47. I would love to win this because one of my goals for the year is to get physically healthy with a spiritual emphasis. This fits perfectly!
