Alrighty.

This is an example of why I enjoy CHRISTIAN diet books. This one took the most radical approach of any Christian diet book I've ever read. Just the title is an indication of it being a bit on the interestring side. Help Lord, the Devil Wants Me Fat is a book all about how if rebuke the devil and go on a 10 day fast you can lose weight. It does mention a bit of healthy eating and excercise in it, but it treats being overweight as a purely spiritual problem and that we don't know how to resist the devil, therefore people are fat. Really a bizarre book as it was a diet book but mainly on spiritual warfare.

that sounds extremely funny to me. "Get thee behind me, Satan!! I rebuke you for tempting me with these jelly donuts..." Who's the publisher?

It was published by "Personal Christianity". I enjoy reading Christian diet books to see how they approach weight loss. This one actually had a few chapters on spiritual warfare before you started putting it to use to lose weight! LOL!
