1st Place [Bargain Price] (Hardcover) Review

First Place is an absolutely awesome program, offering a balanced and spiritual approach to health and weight loss.
In the kit you will find a Member's Guide, which contains the essential information about the program, food and exercise plan, etc.There are also four motivating cassette tapes, 13 weekly commitment records, a neat little spiral bound Bible verse memorization book, and a journal in which to write your prayers.
The essence of this Christ-centered program is captured in nine basic commitments.These commitments include daily prayer, Bible study (using one of the First Place Bible Studies, such as "Life Under Control" or "Giving Christ First Place"), the memorization of one Bible verse/week, and daily Scripture reading--so it would be best to plan on setting aside some quiet time each day.Other commitments include a well-balanced food plan (similar to the diabetic or old Weight Watchers exchange program), regular exercise, and keeping a Commitment Record of your progress in all of these areas.
What makes the program work, though, is not the well-planned and reasonably priced materials.It's the fact that setting aside quiet time in this too-busy world to be alone with God will improve your life immeasurably.As you draw closer to Him, youwill find that you develop and practice both self-discipline and gentleness with yourself.
First Place has a web site that offers the opportunity for support through various bulletin boards.I can attest to the fact that there are wonderful people on these boards, willing to support and encourage your efforts, and even to pray for you.... There also is an online ministry available, for those who would like to practice the program, but who do not have a local group available.I belong to that, and have found it very helfpul.The web address for that is:rhbfirstplace.org
It has been less than 2 months since I first became acquainted with this program.I'm so impressed with the program that I'm planning on starting a local group shortly.My life has changed so much for the better in a very short time. A modest weight loss is just one of many blessings that have come my way.
May God bless your journey towards health and wholeness!
