Redefining Beautiful by Jenna Lucado

Recently, I came across this book and just sort of passed it up. I'm in my mid 20's and am fully aware my beauty in Christ, so I didn't believe this book had much to offer me. Was I ever wrong! Jenna approaches this topic with ease and plainly points out how we're called to love ourselves and love others. Her father, Max Lucado, also offers up some great comments. God's standards of what beauty is greatly outweights what the world's standards are these days. In this book, ladies will have a chance to identify issues in their life, write them down and pray over them. I will be passing this book onto my friends in student and college ministries. Whether you are 18 or 38, we all need to be reminded of the unfailing love offered to us by Christ, not because of what the outside of us may look like.
