Every meal is a choice between appetite and wisdom.

We eat every day, and every day we face our desires. Ancient Chinese medicine taught that health begins with eating and drinking in moderation. The Bible speaks often about appetite, warning against being ruled by our cravings and inviting us into self-control, fasting, and gratitude.

Food & Desire brings the nourishing wisdom of the Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) into conversation with the Bible's teaching on desire. It shows how the most ordinary act of daily life, sitting down to eat, can become a place of spiritual growth.

Inside, you will discover:

• The ancient Chinese principles of moderate and seasonal eating, explained simply
• What the Bible teaches about appetite, self-control, and fasting
• How everyday meals can become a spiritual practice
• A way of temperance that brings freedom rather than guilt

This book is for Christians seeking a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food, readers interested in mindful eating and fasting, and anyone curious about the nutritional wisdom of Chinese medicine.
