El. knyga: Table for Two: Biblical Counsel for Eating Disorders

Table for Two is the redemptive, compelling, and personal journey of a husband and wife navigating the bondage of an eating disorder to find increased freedom because of God's grace and Word. Individuals suffering from an eating disorderand loved ones walking alongside themwill find practical help, hope, and encouragement in David and Krista Dunham's story. Krista Dunham suffered from an eating disorder for over ten years and, by God's grace and through biblical counseling, overcame it. In Table for Two, she shares her experience, describing what she did, what she needed, and what proved helpful in changing. In conjunction with her insights, David shares what he did, how he failed, and what he learned along the way as a biblical counselor that proved helpful to Krista. Those suffering from an eating disorder often feel crazy and misunderstood. They struggle feeling alone, afraid, and ashamed to tell those closest to them. Their loved ones also feel helpless and ill-equipped to care for them. Within this dynamic, hurt, disappointment, and neglect often thrive. Krista and David know the need to connect and navigate recovery from an eating disorder together. They know two are better than one. By providing information about eating disorders, personal narratives, and interactive exercises that helpers and those suffering from eating disorders can do together, Table for Two fosters a sense of community and compassion for struggling families. This powerful, inspiring book reveals an intimacy beyond personal stories of struggle told through a biblical counseling lens; it highlights the close-knit relationship of husband and wife and a home life where one person struggles with an eating disorder. Through Krista's recovery story, she offers counseling and discipleship to others, sharing how she and her husband found life-changing hope and transformation in the truths of Ecclesiastes 4:910 applied to eating disorders.
