Fit For My King-Book Review
If you’re planning to lose weight, then you’ll want a copy of Fit for My King-His Princess 30-Day Diet Plan and Devotional by Sherri Rose Shepherd. Sheri Rose is the best-selling author of His Princess: Love Letters from Your King.
In this 30 day journey, Sheri Rose Shepherd shares how God healed her from an eating disorder, helped her conquer chronic fatigue, and gave her the strength and wisdom to lose over sixty pounds and keep it off. More than a half a million women have been set free through her teaching. This eloquent book is about finding inner beauty as a daughter of God. As you follow the 30-day devotionals, you’ll treat yourself with a verse from scripture and inspiring words from author Sherri Rose Shepherd. Reward yourself as a Princess of the King when you see how God treasures you as his daughter. As the author writes on page 146 “Anyone can choose to be a worldly princess, but you, my Sister Princess, have been handpicked by the King to be His Princess.” This theme flows through each page as the author lifts you from worldly habits to spiritual habits.
You begin your 30-day plan when you sign and date the “His Princess Covenant Letter” as a commitment to God. You’ll honor Him by fasting specific foods, give Him control of your eating and nourish your spirit with scripture. Each day of the plan includes a scripture verse, Princess Prayer, and Action Plan.
The Princess Diet Plan in the back of the book includes foods to avoid, recommended foods and recipes. The fasting foods are the common allergy foods: corn, white flour and rice, sugars and sweeteners. Recommended foods include birch sugar, liquid amino acids, and gluten free mixes. Most dieters will find this food plan challenging to follow. I recommend the book as a devotional and not as a diet plan. Reading the daily devotions fills you up with the Word of scripture and offers emotional support as you change your eating habits.
I had an opportunity to hear author Sherri Rose Shepherd speak at the Design 4 Living Conference as she shared her story of transformation. In person, she has a gentleness and inner spirit that reflects the spirit of God. Sherri reminds us that we are all daughters of the King and inspires us to wear the Princess crown in His name. The words of her book reflect this positive and inspiring attitude. Discover for yourself when you read Fit for My King-His Princess 30-Day Diet Plan and Devotional.
