I’m so pleased that Carolyn Mahaney and Nicole Whitacre have tackled the subject of true beauty, a topic we need to think and learn about from a Christian perspective, particularly in our beauty-crazed, beauty-obsessed age. The world is always trying to press women into its mold, particularly on this point, and this book helps us think about beauty in a completely different way. True Beauty is for all women, no matter what your calling or age. You can buy it here.
My two older girls and I have been reading this book together. It really IS terrific. We are finding it so valuable that I bought an extra copy just to have on hand to give away to someone the Lord brings along who may also benefit from it. I am being exhorted just as much as my daughters.
Nancy (or Mrs. Swanson), would this be good for an 11 year old?
Kelly,
It would be great to read with and to your eleven-year-old, but I wouldn’t just hand it to her to read on her own. It’s a great tool for mother-daughter discussion.
Thanks Nancy–she’s always wanting to “book club” with me and I’ve been looking for a good one. I would also LOVE a post on good books for kids–esp. girls in this age group. I’m all out of good ideas!
