Book Announcement: Interview expert author Shannon Gilmour about her latest book, "Body and Soul: The necessity of food"

Who is Shannon Gilmour? I am a Christian author who writes from the heart of experience through my own journey of self discovery to find a deeper relationship with God.

How did you get started in writing? I have always written. From the age of seven my teachers knew that I would become an author some day. But I didn't give it any real attention until eight years ago when I published my first book. Until that time I had always written for myself, using writing as a means of therapy and comfort in times when I needed it. We all have had problematic situations and writing helped me to figure things out.

What is 'Body and Soul: The necessity of food' really about? It's about understanding what is as defined by today's standards and what food should be as defined by God's standards. It's a journey of self awareness as the truth about what food has become reveals some very dark secret behaviors in all of us. I know it did me. I had horrible eating habits, and secretive ones and this book shares with the reader some of that because this is a journey that most of us can relate to. Food has reasons why it effects us the way it does and dieting and fitness will only placate or heal us so far. Body and Soul is a sort of awakening for the heart of every reader because reading it will forever change the way one thinks about food.
