Julie and Sarah

Our authors are a mother and daughter team. Julie Morris, R.N., battled her extra pounds for over 30 years before finally losing them for good in 1982.  She is the author of 11 other books and the founder of the Step Forward Christian Weight-Loss Program, which has groups meeting across the country. Guided By Him contains many life-changing Step Forward ideas, but GBH is lighter and easier for today’s busy lifestyle.

Sarah Morris Cherry, M.Ed., L.P.C., is a family therapist. For over 10 years she has been helping overwhelmed overeaters discover how to lose weight and make other healthy lifestyle changes.

Statement of Faith

We believe that God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one.  We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that we are saved by God’s grace because of what Christ did for us on the cross, not by our works. We believe that through his grace, God gives us the power to do anything we need to do—including losing the weight and worries that weigh us down.
