GAINING: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders is the first book to "connect the dots," painting a complete picture of the interpersonal, cultural, and biochemical forces that cause – and must be addressed in order to cure – anorexia and bulimia nervosa. Drawing on her own life history, cutting-edge research, and extensive interviews with others who have been recovered for up to thirty years, Aimee Liu offers a retrospective view of life before, during, and after active eating disorders. The stories in this book make it clear that eating disorders have little to do with food or weight -- and everything to do with personality, fear, and shame. They are distress signals that can occur at any age and often recur during periods of stress and loss. Gaining translates these signals into vital insights for individuals and families who have struggled with eating disorders, and for parents who want to safeguard their children.
"This is a ground-breaking work that's a must-read for anyone who has struggled with food or weight but didn't quite understand why."
Lori Gottlieb,
Author of STICK FIGURE: A DIARY OF MY FORMER SELF
“This book is the most sensitive, insightful, and beautifully crafted connection I have seen of personal experience with what scientists know about eating disorders. It is rich in emotion, understanding of human interaction, and lessons on culture, weight, and eating.”

Jenni had been in an abusive relationship with Ed for far too long. Ed's name comes from the initials E.D. - as in eating disorder. He controlled Jenni's life, distorted her self-image, and tried to physically harm her throughout their long affair. Then Jenni met psychotherapist and author Thom Rutledge. He taught her how to treat her eating disorder as a relationship, not a condition. By thinking of her eating disorder as a unique personality separate from her own, Jenni was able to break up with Ed once and for all.
Inspiring, compassionate, and filled with practical exercises to help you break up with your own personal E.D., Life Without Ed provides new hope for the disorders that plague millions of women and young girls. Beginning with Jenni's "divorce" from Ed, this supportive, lifesaving book combines a patient's insights and experiences with a therapist's prescriptions for success to help you live a healthier, happier life without Ed.

Many people look in the mirror and are dissatisfied with their bodies. They see a seat too big and a chest too small, an enormous nose and beady eyes. Psalm 139 tells us how God feels about our bodies. We get the "fearful" part; it's the "wonderful" we're not so sure about. The Body God Designed presents the idea that God Himself made us and has a body intended just for us. This God-intended body may have been altered by our circumstances or by our behaviors, but with His help, we can restore our bodies to the level of health and vitality He planned for us.

Destiny is a timeless story of a fundamental journey through new and sometimes troubled waters to self-discovery. Destiny, the ship, embarks on a universal yet unique odyssey; her story is inspiring, an elegant wisdom of the hard-work miracle of individual growth.
This deceptively simple allegory is a composite of the basic elements of the search for wholeness and a sense of well-being. Destiny's quest provides a framework for viewing and understanding the landmarks of navigating personal storms and achieving a celebration of the self.
This is the most common of all voyages, viewed in a very uncommon way.
