More Than Just a Pretty Face

WE WOMEN-even we Christian women-spend numerous beauty hours trying to fake it, bake it, or make it. But what if there are more important things than manicures, tanning booths, and instant slim jeans?

More Than Just a Pretty Face reflects on our beauty-crazed world to help us contemplate our relationship with God: our commitment, obedience, and faith in times of struggle.

Mixing humorous beauty anecdotes with events, truths, and reflections from the life of Queen Esther, author Karen Morerod offers the premise that we are most beautiful when we are following and obeying God. You will laugh at the over-importance we sometimes place on our looks as we learn how to attain real beauty in God's eyes.

A Bible study in the form of 31 daily readings from the Old Testament book of Esther, More Than Just a Pretty Face helps bring women back to the reality that outward appearances are only skin deep.

Daily readings are divided into four sections with the first three rooted in the major themes of the book of Esther:

• God has a plan for everyone

• We will encounter problems along the way

• God's power is sufficient for anything He asks us to do

The final section-The New You: Encouragement, Perspective and Perseverance-gives practical challenges and issues to consider as you launch your own effort to be beautifully obedient in the real world.
