My Big Bottom Blessing book review! Plus GIVEAWAY

I was given the chance to review My Big Bottom Blessing by Teasi Cannon by Worthy Publishing at http://worthypublishing.com/books/My-Big-Bottom-Blessing/
This is the first blog tour I have done, and it was worth it!
The front of the book drew me in right away, with quotes from Wynonna Judd, and the sub title "How Hating My Body Led to Loving my Life". This book looked interesting to me because, I think, all of us have had concerns about our weight.

This book is about finding yourself and believing in God's plan for you. God made us who we are and we should have good self image and body image. If we have faith that God made everything in his image, then we too should follow God's steps on how to build self esteem. 

However, with some good, there is some bad. This author believes that The Devil gives us low self esteem. The Devil whispers hurtful words in our ears and makes us feel bad for ourselves. This author also leads the reader to believe that there are no bad people, but rather only good people under the bad influence of the Devil. Good people use hurtful words and throw sticks and stones, because they themselves are under the spell of the Devil.

The book focuses on the life of the author Teasi Cannon, and her lifelong battle with body image. From abuse, name calling, weight loss and gain, Divorce, parenting, and eventually finding the love of her life Teasi can relate to any reader.

What I liked about the format of the book was that at the end of each chapter there is a question section to answer, a pep talk section, and a forward focus:thoughts section. There are also a lot of prayers that correspond to the sections of the book you are in.
I would like to finish my review with the quote on page 149.
 “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:37-38

This is the Introduction:

My weight on the scale led to such an agonizing weight

of emotional pain in my heart, which led to a total breakdown,

which (ironically) led to the very adjustments that saved my

life. As these adjustments were made, things started getting

better. I know that statement sounds annoyingly simple. So,

let me be clear: some of the adjustments were quick and easy,

but some took lots of time and were quite painful.

Now, the reason I can’t keep this story to myself isn’t

because I feel the need to share my pain. No one would want

to read a story filled with only pain. No, I want to share the

story because I love my life now, whereas I used to be miserable.

Because I love my friends now, whereas I used to be
jealous and bitter. And—perhaps most miraculously of all—I
love my body now, whereas I used to hate with a capital

H—

Hate

—myself beyond words.

I have a feeling the same can be said of you. And as
you read this story, I hope you will discover that you are
not alone in your pain, no matter how great or small. I hope
that you can get healing for even the deepest wounds in your
voices/lies in your head as truth takes over.
As I tell you how it all happened for me in the pages to
come, I’ll also share a little of my poetry, a taste of my journal
entries, a lot of my findings, and some heartfelt prayers. Oh,
and along the way I’d like to introduce you to some of the
characters who claim my head as their residence.
Welcome to my experience of the goodness of God.
I have also been given the chance to give away a brand new copy to one lucky reader!
