Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I've read similar comments including one where the poster thought Roth used God in the title to sell the book. I wouldn't go that far. I will go back and read that chapter. I don't think the book is about God so much as spirituality and shaping our image of ourselves and how food relates to that. I think Geenen has a more eastern philosphy of spirtuality, right? > > I love her kind voice.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I have been relunctant to get the book precisely for that reason. After seeing her in Oprah and after seeing that I have been engaging in non IE habits lately, I decided to get it. it is on its way and I may even sign for her workshop online A > > I love her kind voice.
