Eating With Grace: Learning to Feed Your Body and Nourish Your Life by Grace Nicodemus

The author, Rev W. Grace Nicodemus, is doing a Books and Brunch event at Jarmin Tasting Room in Carmel Valley on January 24, 2016. So I want to feature her book before the event.

The author shared this information about her book on the Jarmin Wine Tasting website:

· Rev. Nicodemus spent her youth trying to compensate, measure up, be enough, and learning to associate her worth with her weight. After enrolling in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, she learned how much more there is to nourishment than food. She learned what it truly means to eat healthy and how to prepare nutritious meals to the benefit and satisfaction of her family. She also became a certified health coach, knowing that her greatest healing would come through helping others along a similar path.
· The newly released “Eating with Grace,” told by Rev. Nicodemus and written by author Lisa Crawford Watson, is a story of Rev. Nicodemus’s own journey toward wellness, which removes blame from the consumer, looks at what’s really going on behind our food and our feelings, and offers up a safe haven for the rest of us to recognize ourselves and the way out of whatever it is that weighs us down.
· Pairing her story with information and exercises, plus Chef Paola Mikes’ healthy recipes, and photographer Philip Geiger’s enticing color images of delicious food, Rev. Nicodemus serves up plenty of food for thought — and action.

The book comes with illustrations and exercises and a lot of information about the author’s past and how she dealt with food and came to look at eating in a healthy way.
