Customer Reviews

Excellent tool!

Excellent tool, I'm a health coach for Take Shape For Life and I wanted to bring God more into my health program - well this was the answer, along with a group of ladies at church to fellowhaiptravel the journey with and I am on my way to being the healthy person God wants me to be!

Encouraging,well written book!

This First Place 4 Health book has been such an inspiration to me! The Bible studies are so interesting and easy to understand! I enjoy reading the book along with a cup of coffee in the morning before breakfast to start my day right! ( And I remember to drink water too as coffee alone can be dehydrating!) The book addresses four aspects of a person: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual, and how we can grow healthier as a whole person when we nourish each of these areas.

Life Changing

11 of us bought this study to do and within weeks, most of us had made life changing habits, not only in our exercise and eating, but in our relationship with God. If you need to get your life in order, give this book a try.

I love these studies!!

I am on my 3rd First Place 4 Health study. The first one I did on my own, which was great, but the last two have been with a group. In my excitement I was sharing with a friend how much the study helped me get God into and part of my health & fitness life. She got excited by my reaction and asked if I would lead a group. Of course I jumped at the chance to bring other women to where God was involved in every area of their lives including exercise, food and weight loss. We are a group of 10 and we encourage one another and can open up areas where maybe we hadn't been with the study that week but because we all are different we get something different from it. Then of course there are the moments each week of the study where we all get the same message that just lights us up and we share how it affected us individually. These studies are really great and I hope they keep churning out knew books.

First Place is a journey to a better life in all four parts of your life!

This program is absolutely awesome! What you put into it is what you will get out of it in each area of the four part person (mental, phyical, emotional and spiritual). I have been participating in this program for the last 11 weeks and I have had a much more transforming experience in my life spiritually through this bible study and the heart gripping truth to my own lifestyle choices. This bible study book is definately the one I would do first in a class because it helps you set your mental focus on the areas you need to truly look deeply at and consider all areas that need help in making a difference in your lifestyle choices. If you are not participating in a group, it is highly recommended in doing that. When you participate in a group you have more accountability and women or men going through the same struggles you go through. Also, you are able to confide in those people and build great realtionships that will help you know that you are not alone in this journey but you have true and loving people on the side lines encouraging you to the goal that you have set for yourself. I first attended FIRST PLACE in the summer of 2007 and I was the biggest loser in my class of a total of 16 pounds! I did not continue living out the live-it plan as I was following in the First Place program after that summer and ended up gaining my weight back. The instructor, Carol Lewis, recommends that you make a commitment to 1 full year of this program in order to see sucess. I have made that commitment this time and I know that this the best program I have ever tried. I have truly been blessed with my FIRST PLACE 4 HEALTH group/class this session. I have lost 12.8 pounds this session. I came to the conclusion that it wasn't so much about me putting a goal on my weight this session as it was about me changing my mentality and lifestyle choices. That is what I was focused on more this session. Of course I did not gain all of this weight in just a few days or weeks so I know that it will not come off that quickly! If we fail to plan, we plan to fail. Let us make a commitment to ourselves that we will plan out our meals and live to the live-it plan to gain a new level in our relationship with God by giving Him FIRST PLACE where He belongs in our lives! May God Bless You in your journey! I highly recommend this program.
