Constantly Craving by Marily Meberg



I agreed to read this book for Booksneeze in exchange for a review. An old co-worker stopped by one of the motels I work at last night and the conversation turned soon enough to books and recent readings. She had this book on her Kindle Fire, and was disappointed with it. She offered me her Fire and I must say, I am also disappointed. If you want to read a good self healp book on addictions and addictive behavior, I reccommend Steven Arterburn. Any of his books will help you. But this Constantly Craving book: no way would I reccommend it to anyone. She asserts that people have cravings because they are living outside of the light of God. Well, thats just nonsense. God says Hisself that He works through our weaknesses to bring Glory to Him and His greatness. We are humans, not gods. We have cravings for many reasons but to assert that cravings are brought about because of childhood issues and short comings is too far out on that nut-job limb for me to back her as a valid writer. I was especially displeased that she pulls Bible verses and tags them to support her opinions. Any part of the Bible can be taken out of context and ithink it is stupid and dangerous to try and make it look like God is backing your opinions!!! god is Master and Divine Creator: Lord above all : Father of all. The beginning and the end. And this is the end of my review: book was awful.
