NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Reshaping It All: Motivation for
Spiritual and Physical Fitness by actress Candace Cameron Bure (“Full House,” “Make
It or Break It”) has debuted at No. 13 on The New York Times’ paperback advice &
miscellaneous best sellers list.
Bure, recently featured in People magazine and on NBC’s “Today” show, recounts
in the book her inspirational victory over food addiction and explains how she
keeps a healthy outlook on weight despite Hollywood’s toothpick-thin
expectations.
The book, which moved onto The Times’ best seller list Feb. 20, was released
Jan. 1 by the B&H Publishing Group of LifeWay Christian Resources of the
Southern Baptist Convention.
Bure, now married with three kids, is a rare Hollywood mom who maintains a
normal life — no trainer, no nanny, no chef — and is outspoken about how her
Christian faith has helped to overcome various obstacles such as her struggle
with food. Reshaping It All helps women begin to embrace a healthier lifestyle
by moving faith to the forefront, making some wise fundamental choices about
diet and exercise, and finding their worth in God’s eyes.

“I knew who God was, but I still hadn’t grasped who I was in His sight,” Bure
writes. Now, with everything in proper perspective, she adds, “I’m 25 pounds
lighter than I was on Full House, have a full house of my own and feel better
than ever!”
“Candace has said that first and foremost she is a wife and mom,” said Jennifer
Lyell, B&H Publishing Group’s executive editor for women’s books.
“Her career as an actress comes after those most important roles,” Lyell
continued. “What we have observed from the tremendous response to Reshaping It
All is that readers really resonate with her as a wife, a mom, and as a trusted
friend they’ve grown up alongside. They connect with her as a woman not so
different than them. Her struggles, victories and resulting guidance are not
those of a sensational Hollywood tell-all, but rather of a day-to-day reality
with which we can all identify and respond.”
Bure starred for eight seasons on the hit ABC series Full House (still
syndicated in more than 100 countries) and is now a featured cast member of ABC
Family’s popular drama, Make It or Break It. She also is active among several
charities and speaks to women nationwide about her faith-based weight loss
success.
Bure lives with her husband, National Hockey League star Valeri Bure, and their
three children in Los Angeles.
