How do you define beautiful? In Redefining beautiful, author Jenna Lucado lays out a blue print for a positive view of beauty. Instead of talking about putting on different cloths and jewelery to make you beautiful, Lucado discusses putting on different behaviors and attitudes to define your real beauty.
Redefining Beautiful is written for Christian teen and tweens girls, and I am a 30 year old male youth worker….So needless to say I had trouble connecting with the author. Although though Redefining Beautiful is packed full of great information and concepts, its content is loosely woven together making it hard to put the whole book together without loosing some of those gold nuggets of wisdom.
I recommend this book to any Christian teen and tween girls who is struggling with how they view themselves. (Which is almost everyone) In order to get the most out of the book, it should be read with a mentor or parent who is willing to discuss and reflect on the information and content. I also recommend everyone else that has contact with a teen or tween girl read this book and strain out the gold nuggets of wisdom. It is well worth the effort to help them grow into the women and mothers of tomorrow
