Book Review ~ Redefining Beautiful

I just finished reading Redefining Beautiful by Jenna Lucado. Jenna’s dad, Max Lucado, is one of my favorite authors, hands down. I have always loved Max’s eloquent way with words, and how he applies Biblical principles to everyday life so easily.

Jenna is following in her daddy’s footsteps, no doubt. This book is targeted towards preteen to teenage girls, and it provides real, down-to-earth discussions and examples to bring girls back to the cross. Even though the back of the book refers to “a foundational beauty secret: a father’s love” I was still not prepared for the fact that the entire book really is based on our Heavenly Father. I found it absolutely beautiful. Written by a girl who has a Christian father who’s devoted to her, her family, and her future, this book is definitely applicable to girls who also have no father figure, to girls whose fathers are absent.

I remember all too well the issues and heartaches that young girls face daily. Jenna speaks candidly of these and relates well to girls and their boyfriend troubles, friend issues, and parent problems. From beauty tips to Bible Verses, Jenna incorporates true life experiencese and Biblical truths that can no doubt help the beautiful teenage girls of our world.

I can’t wait to give my book to a friend whose daughter might really benefit from Redefining her beauty in a Biblical way.  Have a daughter or know a friend who has a daughter who could really use some truths about her incredible beauty in Christ?  Get a copy of Redefining Beautiful today!
