A Message from Dr. Jones

Why this book needed to be written and how it can help transform your understanding of obesity and health.

"For too long, our society has treated obesity as a moral failing rather than the complex medical condition it truly is. In my 25+ years of practice, I've seen countless individuals struggle not just with the physical aspects of weight management, but with the shame and guilt that often accompany it."

"As a Christian physician, I believe we're called to approach health with both scientific rigor and compassionate understanding. This book brings together evidence-based medicine with biblical wisdom to offer hope and practical guidance for individuals, families, and faith communities."

"My prayer is that this book will help shift the conversation from judgment to understanding, from quick fixes to sustainable health, and from individual struggle to community support. Together, we can create environments where healing and health flourish."
