Book Review ~ You Are Beautiful: A Model Makeover From Insecure To Confident In Christ by Ashley Reitz with Lorilee Craker

You Are Beautiful: A Model Makeover From Insecure To Confident In Christ by Ashley Reitz with Lorilee Craker is the truth of a young woman's personal journey to find her own beauty and to discover what it really means to be beautiful.

Sharing stories from her own life, Ashley takes us through the slides, curves, and reality checks of going from feeling unseen and overlooked to embracing the beauty that God has placed within each one of us. For every "good Christian girl" who feels like she's not "pretty" enough or "skinny" enough to be special, Ashley's honesty and refreshing humor is like sitting down with a trusted friend and a warm cup of hot cocoa or tea. Not only will her story make you feel like you're in good company; but each chapter concludes with "Beauty Box" tips and questions designed to help you learn from her struggles and experiences in order to bring you closer to God and His plans for your beautiful life.

I would highly recommend this book to any young women who want a practical, down-to-earth look at life, love, and the beauty that so often seems to escape us. This book is made for all the girls out there that have ever felt as though they just didn't quite fit in being themselves. Even you! 4/5 stars.
