On June 1st, I plan to start a study of the Thin Within book (2003 or later edition). I have gone through it a bunch…so it is sometimes hard to imagine that God may yet have something “new” there for me. I know that it is arrogance that says I “know” it all. LOL!
Here is an invitation…a video invitation for you… 😀 Scary thought, but I may do this throughout our study of the book.
So, I ask any/all of you…if you would like to go through the Thin Within book with me here at the blog, feel free to grab a copy by June 1st. Even if you get your own copy a bit later than the 1st, I won’t go through it in 30 days–it will probably take me all summer. You can call Thin Within directly at 877-729-8932 and they will send it right out to you. I think it is $12. You may be able to get it cheaper on Amazon, but the shipping is likely to take longer.
So, that said, if any of you would like, feel free to join me. You can use the “comments” section of the blog to post your thoughts and ideas, questions, comments, praises, concerns, prayer requests and prayers.
And if you come to this blog entry months after it has been posted, you can still participate. When someone makes a comment to the blog–even an entry I posted months before–I get sent a notification about it. I will gladly respond. Don’t feel left out!
God has something new He IS DOING in YOU (and in me!)–even now!
To those of you reading and following in real time, will you do me a favor and pray that God will make the new thing he is doing in each of us obvious? That we may have eyes to perceive it? He says it springs up! I am eager for the adventure he has ahead.
Join me! 🙂
If you plan to do so, feel free to comment here. I would LOVE to know who will be participating! I may add little “video” thoughts as we go…just for fun. 🙂
Here is my (personal) biggest challenge on a superficial (yet deep at the same time…) level…to make my way through this material WITHOUT using a bathroom scale at all! I believe the Lord would have that for me! I also want to have an open heart. Since God involved me in the writing of the Thin Within book (what an amazing display of his grace AND his sense of humor), it can be really easy for me to be “jaded” if I am not wary. So if you will pray for me about this…I would welcome it. I know that I have NOT “arrived.” Until my feet are lifted from the dust of this earth and planted on Heavenly streets of gold, I know that I will continue to be formed, shaped, refined and CONVICTED, changed, corrected, rebuked by our gentle Shepherd. I welcome that now. I need that.
Anyhow, I will pray for you. Please pray for me and plan to get your own copy of the Thin Within book (2003 or later edition) by Arthur and Judy Halliday so you can write in it as you go.
WHOO HOO!

2002 Edition is FINE! Sorry, I meant 2002. Not a problem! It is the 1985 version you DO NOT WANT! 🙂

I started the book and workbook a week ago but would love to join you on this journey. You have been such an ecouragement! I love the video about the 3 phases of Thin Within, and especially love the antics of your beautiful horses!!

Silent Hunger is sort of the next level. Thin Within is a broader overview of all the principles. Silent Hunger is the same as Thin Again or Get Thin Stay Thin. You could read through it and join us anyhow. The principles are the same, but Silent Hunger goes deeper and doesn’t cover all of the same material. I hope you will join us anyhow!

Pam! Thank you for your kind words. The horses are quite the characters…they love the camera! Funny how that is!

Thanks for answering my question about Silent Hunger. I think I will go ahead and purchase Thin Within as I got so much out of the other book and would really like to thoroughly go through the first book with someone like you who has had a long history with it. Just made a bid on it at e-bay (fingers crossed)!

You are such a gifted writer with precious insight…you have touched my heart so many times!! I can’t wait to see what the Lord has for us…thanks for being such a willing soul. You rock!!

I struggle with wondering if I can learn new stuff, as long as I have been around here, but I know I DO have a lon way to go in actual execution…I’m gonna pray about it and get back to you, dear friend. :)PS – Thanks to Christina for passing the word that you were starting this

I think this sounds so good! I’m still praying about it – I had released 62 lbs, but have gained 6 lbs. and am having a tough time getting back into eating the way “Thin Within” teaches. I’ve been starting to go through “Thin Again”.Connie

I can’t wait for June 1st! I just called the Thin Within office on 5/29/09 asking were there any groups available. (I really feel I need group support.) It seems like the perfect storm for freedom. Thanks for making yourself available!

Hi Heidi,Yes! I believe the Lord wants me to go through the material AGAIN(!) I’m looking forward to a wonderful study with you and our awesome God this summer. Oh, dear Lord, please prepare the hearts of everyone joining in…that we may learn what you want us to learn. Whether it be for the first time or the millionth time…thank you that you care so much about us and want us to be free in you that you would provide this time of study through the summer.Thanks again, Heidi, for listening-and acting-on the Holy Spirit. You’re an inspiration and I look forward to getting to know you better!!

Thanks to Christina, I'm going to give it a go. I have a tendency to start with vigour & then peter out, so my prayer is that I'll stick with it. I have had the book for a while, but haven't got past the first chapter yet.
