Made to Crave
Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not Food
Lysa TerKeurst
President of Proverbs 31 Ministries
Made to Crave is the missing link between a woman’s desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. The reality is we were made to crave.
Craving isn’t a bad thing.
But we must realize God created us to crave more of Him. Many of us have misplaced that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures instead of lasting spiritual satisfaction. If you are struggling with unhealthy eating habits, you can break the “I’ll start again Monday” cycle, and start feeling good about yourself today. Learn to stop beating yourself up over the numbers on the scale. Discover that your weight loss struggle isn’t a curse but rather a blessing in the making, and replace justifications that lead to diet failure with empowering go-to scripts that lead to victory. You can reach your healthy weight goal — and grow closer to God in the process.
This is not a how-to book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This book is the necessary companion for you to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan you choose. This is a book and Bible study to help you find the want-to in making healthy lifestyle choices.

Is Something Missing in Your Life?
Lysa TerKeurst knows what it’s like to consider God just another thing on her to-do list. For years she went through the motions of a Christian life: Go to church. Pray. Be nice.
Longing for a deeper connection between what she knew in her head and her everyday reality, she wanted to personally experience God’s presence.
Drawing from her own remarkable story of step-by-step faith, Lysa invites you to uncover the spiritually exciting life we all yearn for. With her trademark wit and spiritual wisdom, Lysa will help you:
• Learn how to make a Bible passage come alive in your own devotion time.
• Replace doubt, regret, and envy with truth, confidence, and praise.
• Stop the unhealthy cycles of striving and truly learn to love who you are and what you’ve been given.
• Discover how to have inner peace and security in any situation.
• Sense God responding to your prayers.
The adventure God has in store for your life just might blow you away.
