Book Review: You're Beautiful!
Summary: 5 Stars
This books does something daring and dangerous. It sets women free.
In a society that professes equal rights for women and liberty for all, women often are spiritually imprisoned. Why? We believe the lies fed to us by the media and wounds dealt to us through our lifetimes. It compounds and keeps us from being the women we are meant to be; the woman God needs us to be. The world needs our beauty and strength.
The authors do a brilliant job of driving their points home and tells us how God loves us through the use of the word of God. They point out the enemy's use of the blows we are dealt in life to keep us from God and hinder our progress in life.
The authors use abundant scripture and anecdote to write this book. It is entertaining and touches the feminine heart. It shows us that we can be who we are and should embrace our personal style and talents. It also tells us how we all have beauty to unveil. (This is opposite of what the world tells us, isn't it?)
Of course, this is not the Bible so it is not perfect. For example, I do not agree with the author's implication that women are not intended for leadership. I have never been able to find Biblical evidence for this assertion. However, I trust their intention on this point to be of good faith.
This book increases womens' self-esteem and assurance that God is the true lover of their souls. It also gives some good insight on men and our relationships with them.
A must read for believing women!
Summary of Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul
Every little girl has dreams of being swept up into a great adventure, of being the beautiful princess. Sadly, when women grow up, they are often swept up into a life filled merely with duty and demands. Many Christian women are tired, struggling under the weight of the pressure to be a "good servant," a nurturing caregiver, or a capable home manager.
What Wild at Heart did for men, Captivating is doing for women. Setting their hearts free. This groundbreaking book shows readers the glorious design of women before the fall, describes how the feminine heart can be restored, and casts a vision for the power, freedom, and beauty of a woman released to be all she was meant to be. By revealing the core desires every woman shares-to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a grand adventure, and to unveil beauty-John and Stasi Eldredge invite women to recover their feminine hearts, created in the image of an intimate and passionate God. Further, they encourage men to discover the secret of a woman's soul and to delight in the beauty and strength women were created to offer.
