The Look that Kills

Michelle has a skele­ton in her closet, but it’s one she has to look at every day in the mir­ror. What begins as an attempt to become health­ier even­tu­ally turns into a four-year bat­tle with anorexia and a com­pul­sive over-exercise dis­or­der. Over those four years, Michelle loses more than fifty pounds, her body fat per­cent­age rival­ing that of most female Olympic ath­letes. Michelle’s refusal to relin­quish her life over to God is the begin­ning of her prob­lem; she still needs some­thing to control.

The Look That Kills fol­lows Michelle’s down­ward spi­ral into anorexia; read heart-wrenching tes­ti­monies from those close to her, and learn about her near-death wakeup call that she thanks God for each day. When Michelle finally real­izes her eat­ing dis­or­der is con­trol­ling her life, she is finally able to trust God and relin­quishes full con­trol. Only then is she able to expe­ri­ence true free­dom in Christ and break free from the bondage of her addic­tion. Learn how an amaz­ing God restored her to com­plete health.

If you’ve ever bat­tled an eat­ing dis­or­der or any addic­tive sin that you need to give over to God, if you work closely with women of any age, or if you sim­ply need a reminder of the unde­served grace avail­able to us by God, the uplift­ing story in The Look That Kills is meant for you.

What Peo­ple Are Saying…

- Pete Wil­son, Lead Pas­tor, Cross Point Church (Nashville, TN)

“Every once in a while, you read a book that reminds you of who you can become through the power of Christ. This book does exactly that. Michelle Myers has bravely given a gift to thou­sands of young women who are strug­gling to find free­dom from the masks they are hid­ing behind. In a painfully hon­est, yet beau­ti­fully hum­ble way, she dares all of us to trust Christ to be our everything.”

Cha­lene John­son, Fit Life Expert

“For loved ones, anorexia is a ter­ri­fy­ing, frus­trat­ing, and per­plex­ing dis­ease. Through Michelle Myers’ per­sonal account, you rec­og­nize how it is often the bright­est, most promis­ing and seem­ingly con­fi­dent women that slip into the irra­tional grips of this dis­ease. Unlike other books on the sub­ject that focus on the psy­chol­ogy of eat­ing dis­or­ders, or recount the tricks, tips and anorexic behav­iors, Michelle is able to con­vey how a young woman with all the mark­ings of suc­cess, could slide eas­ily down the slip­pery slope of fit­ness enthu­si­ast to full blown dis­or­dered eat­ing that nearly destroyed her relationships.

As with many addic­tions, the lives of all loved ones are infected by the dis­ease. You feel the con­flicted pain and con­fu­sion of her lov­ing par­ents and the shame she felt in her own dis­tance from her faith. The jour­ney to recov­ery is as unique as the indi­vid­ual. The Look that Kills is a story of one woman’s faith based recov­ery. Michelle Myers offers hope and a spir­i­tual approach to those who are look­ing for uncon­ven­tional treatment.”

In A Look that Kills, Michelle Myers shares her story of deal­ing with an eat­ing dis­or­der, giv­ing the reader an inti­mate look at her jour­ney to find­ing pur­pose, mean­ing and free­dom. Myers’ open­ness about her recov­ery is writ­ten in such a way that any­one who strug­gles with con­trol, per­fec­tion­ism, neg­a­tive inter­nal mes­sages or any form of addic­tion will find Truths that lead to their own free­dom. A Look that Kills is a must read for every woman that has ever looked in the mir­ror and wished that they were some­one different.”
