3-D by Carol Showalter (Religious, Self-Help, Diet, 1974, Christian diet, group diet, 3D program, Carol Showalter, vintage diet)

This book details the "3-D" program (Diet, Discipline, and Discipleship), a faith-based group diet plan. It explains the spiritual and practical principles behind the program, which was a popular Christian weight-loss movement.

Review:
A foundational text of the Christian diet movement. The book is a product of its time, combining 1970s diet culture with evangelical Christian principles. It's more of a cultural artifact than a modern health guide.

Author summary:
Carol Showalter (1928-2012) was the founder of the Christian diet program 3-D (Diet, Discipline, and Discipleship). This book is her primary work, written to spread the message and methodology of the program she created.

The collectible value is low. While it has historical interest as a key text in the faith-based self-help genre, it is not particularly rare. Its value is primarily as a nostalgic or kitsch item from the 1970s.
