Editorial Reviews

Crockett, the social media personality behind the BeautyliciousInsider YouTube channel, combines strong faith with beauty tips in this hopeful book. She writes about how Jeremiah 29:11 inspired her to speak about her faith: “As I’ve heard from my subscribers, I know that my generation is desperate for the hope and future that Christ can offer them.” Crockett’s text includes full-color photos of the author that highlight a variety of beauty tips alongside her recommendations for enriching faith and overcoming personal challenges. For readers looking to get out of an emotional rut, she suggests mixing up makeup routines, changing shopping habits, and giving heels a chance. Her advice on foundational beauty includes many helpful tips about skin exfoliation, fish oils, and the timing for getting a haircut. Crockett also describes her bout of depression while in college and shares principles that helped her cope: do something positive, focus on the big picture, spend time with good people, and don’t be afraid to get help. Crockett’s book barely skims the surface of serious issues such as mental illness and maintaining a healthy self-image, but Christian teens and young adults will find it a good way to start thinking about these topics.

Your Own Beautiful is full of advice and tips, but the chief reason this book is helpful is that it speaks primarily to Scripture's definition of beauty. I'm proud of Chelsea, and the way she models Jesus-centered identity to millions of young people. Louie Giglio, pastor of Passion City Church, founder of Passion Conferences, and author of Goliath Must Fall

Within minutes of first meeting Chelsea, I couldn't help but notice the beautiful person she is. Her smile. Her kindness. Everyone in the room was drawn to her. What was it? You could see the beauty of God within her. In these pages and through Chelsea's words, you'll begin to see the beauty of God inside you. I pray you'll see a glimpse of just how beautiful you are. Adam Weber, pastor of Embrace Church and author of Talking with God

The picture-obsessed, highly edited, perfection-driven culture we live in makes most of us feel like we never quite measure up. I'm so thankful for Chelsea's young-but-strong voice calling girls to understand God's bigger plan and purpose as you discover your own beautiful. Lysa Ter Keurst, New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries
