Food & Holiness: The Dangers of Idolizing Food - Paperback

by Charlene Ralph (Author)

Food & Holiness examines how something as commonplace as food can become an idol when we place it above our relationship with God. A subject often overlooked in Christian circles, author Charlene Ralph sheds light on the subtle but powerful temptation to idolize food.

How can we recognize if we are worshiping food? A key question to ask ourselves is: "Do I sometimes feel guilty about what I'm eating?"

Charlene shares her own personal journey, one in which she often answered "yes" to that question-until 2007, when she made a decision never to eat in conflict with her conscience again. Through years of growth and transformation, she has come to a place where her love for God far outweighs any attachment to food, and she rarely, if ever, feels guilty about what she eats.

Food & Holiness is the fruit of this ongoing journey, offering a roadmap to help others break free from the grip of food idols and learn to love God more deeply than anything else. Charlene's prayer is that this book will guide you toward freedom and fulfillment in your relationship with both food and God.
