More Than Just Pretty: Discover Your True Value, Beauty and Purpose

by Jessie Faerber

Overview

For girls who want to know where we can find our true value, beauty and purpose.

Are you looking for a book that challenges us to question where we've got our ideas about beauty and identity from? Are you looking to find the identity God created you for?

We learn that our value doesn’t come from our grades, our body shape, our past, or the number of likes on our latest social media post.

We girls know what it’s like to feel inadequate. Despite our best efforts, we constantly compare ourselves to the models in magazines, the selfies we see on Instagram, and even our closest friends.But we’re worth so much more than what we tell ourselves.

'More Than Just Pretty' teaches us about our value that doesn’t come from our grades, our body shape, our past, or the number of likes on our latest social media post. We’re so much more than just pretty. We’re pretty funny, pretty kind, pretty ambitious, and all round pretty great. And it’s time we knew it as written in 'More Than Just Pretty'.

Join Jessie and discover even more about who you are, and who you’re created to be.
