About the author and speaker…
Sheryle Cruse's passion has been toward encouraging and empowering both young girls and women to come to a personal relationship with Christ and live their lives free from the damage of their life experiences. This is most recently displayed in her Christian self-help book on eating disorders, Thin Enough: My Spiritual Journey Through the Living Death of an Eating Disorder. Released in early 2006, it is Cruse’s first book, a project over ten years in the making. It is a personal journey from “glory to glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18) for Sheryle, as well as a spiritual war cry to girls and women everywhere to rise in Christ, no matter what disorder, obstacle or argument tries to come against them. Sheryle currently lives in Texas with her husband, Russell, their two
cats and is working on a number of Christian self-help projects and
devotionals.
About the Book…
“Thin Enough: My Spiritual Journey through the Living Death of an Eating Disorder.”
Using her own personal experience, Sheryle Cruse, in this book, addresses eating disorders, food, weight and body issues impacting young girls and women. She focuses on the spiritual significance, while providing hope that, through faith and trust in God through Christ, young girls and women can, indeed, rise above the seemingly hopeless sentence of eating disorders and emerge as “God’s Daughters,” full of life and promising futures.
