My review...
Have you ever felt you weren’t enough or were overlooked?
Unfortunately, it’s a feeling that’s all too common in today’s society, with
standards that are often impossible to live up to in many cases.
Reitz is a model, but her book shows that she didn’t
live a perfect, problem-free life. She lets the reader see the struggles she
faced for years, including weight issues and deep-seated insecurities. In this
book, she wants the reader to walk away knowing one thing: You are beautiful!
Reitz addresses a number of topics, including confidence,
beauty, a positive body image, and the impossible pursuit of perfection. She
wants the reader to listen to what God is saying to them instead of focusing on
society’s message.
This book is geared a bit more for teens or young
adults, but it contains truths which are relevant for women of any age. Reitz explains
biblical confidence, which can only be found in God, and she encourages the
reader to put their self-worth in the hands of God vs. other people.
Each chapter ends with a section called “Beauty Box,” which
is a summary of the chapter, as well as a time for reflection. The book
contains lots of personal stories woven throughout, along with Bible verses and
is a quick read, overall. Reitz presents her story in an easy-to-absorb way,
and it is full of encouragement, as though listening to a good friend share
advice.
