The Truth Has Set Me Free

How One Woman Freed Herself From The Bondage of Fundamental Christianity

(Paperback and Kindle editions)

Finding the Truth over a lifetime freed Patricia Cherry from the narcissistic teachings of the Christian fundamentalist churches she belonged to as a child and young woman.  This is the moving story of love, compassion and forgiveness on her part for everyone concerned.  Painting a vivid picture of life as a child in the 1940’s and 1950’s and as a mother in the 1960’s and 1970’s, Patricia candidly shares her journey to freedom from indoctrinated beliefs.

Throughout these years Trisha experienced loneliness, motherhood, binge eating and the joys of friendship and writing and singing in amateur theatricals. She knew that something had been missing in her childhood – though she still hadn’t worked out what it was. She knew she didn’t feel ‘good enough’, and realised that a rogue part of her personality sought to sabotage any success she might have.

They returned to Plymouth, and to the spell of fundamentalist groups. A chastening experience in Malta did not shake their belief in the doctrines, indeed life seemed to be going well when her husband left the navy, and he and Trisha opened first one, and then several successful nursing homes.

SOD DIETING, JUST EAT

The Politics of Dieting

(Kindle edition)

This book is for readers who want to lose weight because they think that maybe being a few pounds lighter would make a big difference to their lives.

People who are obese or grossly overweight, may find it useful too, but the author’s main purpose is to help the ones who go on diet after diet and live are under the tyranny of the scales. Their mood changes from good if the scales are a few pounds down, to not so good if the number has gone up.

Many fall into a pattern of bingeing and starving, because of the physical malnourishment of very low calories. Just as many also fail to recognise emotional needs and use food as a substitute.

HOW TO SPOT THE BEST DIET

25 Diets Reviewed by an Expert Dieter!

Do you sometimes wish that you had a book that was honest about which diets work? Well here it is!

This book has been compiled of 25 diets that are the best known, and most of them either. The author or someone she knows has tried most of them.

It is good to know which diets are the most nutritious, long lasting and can be used for indefinite periods, with the odd tweak to allow for special occasions and treats.

We just simply cannot expect to go through life never allowing ourselves to join in these celebrations and special occasions, without feeling left out, deprived and then end up bingeing, or depressed, or both.
