Redefining Beautiful by Jenna Lucado
The book Redefining Beautiful helps young girls understand that “…your life becomes more beautiful when you know what God sees when God sees you.” (page 212). This book does an incredible job of talking to adolescent girls in a way that they would understand. It is clear, concise, and empowering. The book provides areas to write in your own insight and even a place to write down your story, in an effort to understand yourself better.
Jenna provides beauty tips throughout, from using Vaseline, not forgetting to take off your slippers when leaving to house, and how to embrace your weirdness.
The book also provides segments throughout called “Notes from Max”. These are great side bars by Jenna’s dad, and well known author, Max Lucado. The notes add another dimension to the book and great scriptural commentary.
Girls explore how our earthly dad influences our lives, who we are, how we look at ourselves, at others, and even how we look at God.
I was impressed with the culturally relevant message that Jenna delivers, while using scripture and sound doctrine to back it up. Jenna wants girls to know that they are strong, confident, worthwhile, and priceless. A message that every girl deserves to hear.
