Backwards Beauty
Author: Jessie Minassian
Publisher: NavPress
ISBN: 1631464299
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
If ten girls were asked to describe the “perfect” girl, they would likely rattle off an eerily similar list of qualities—from hair, skin, and weight to a cute button nose. That’s a problem, because God has given girls a desire to be desirable. If girls think that they will be most wanted if they fit a one-size-fits-all image of “perfection,” they will continually chase that proverbial carrot their entire lives. Backwards Beauty examines ten cultural lies young women listen to regarding beauty to help them unpack how they’re looking at themselves through the wrong lens. The “tips to feel ugly” range from “compare yourself to every other girl” to “eat junk and diet, diet, diet.” Reading a book by Jessie Minassian is like sitting down with a friend and talking about the hard things in life. Girls will be able to find freedom and hope in the midst of a culture that idolizes beauty.

The Beauty of the Lord

Book Description
Why is God's beauty often absent from our theology? Rarely do theologians take up the theme of God's beauty—even more rarely do they consider how God's beauty should shape the task of theology itself. But the psalmist says that the heart of the believer's desire is to behold the beauty of the Lord. In The Beauty of the Lord, Jonathan King restores aesthetics as not merely a valid lens for theological reflection, but an essential one. Jesus, our incarnate Redeemer, displays the Triune God's beauty in his actions and person, from creation to final consummation. How can and should theology better reflect this unveiled beauty? The Beauty of the Lord is a renewal of a truly aesthetic theology and a properly theological aesthetics.

Pages : 228
Book Description
Suitable Singles: Every Single Decision Matters By: A. Lin. Thomas Suitable Singles: Every Single Decision Matters is a book about discovering how to become a suitable single preparing for Holy Matrimony. It illustrates how we can begin the healing process from brokenness through self-discovery in order to understand how to become the suitable single we should be. It also illustrates how brokenness can initiate broken partnering, which will promote a broken family life. The author uses her own personal testimony to illustrate what a broken person looks like and how that dynamic is the worst state to be in when seeking to mate. She speaks about her own disparaging upbringing and failed marriage to make the point that desperation is not a good state to be in when choosing a mate and creating a family. With so many families in turmoil in today’s society, the author shares the story of how she was led by God to share the hurt and pain of her family life and her failed marriage to highlight how a broken family creates a broken child, which becomes a broken adult, who chooses a broken mate, which creates a broken couple who begins the cycle of a broken family all over again. Then the author testifies about how God healed her and delivered her from that broken cycle. It is the author’s hope that readers will take away an honest perspective about the seriousness and the truth of mating, especially in the Church, and gain proper understanding of God’s perspective on what a suitable mate is and how the Word of God is the only true guide to creating a family life that is blessed and prosperous; not just for the couple but for society as a whole.

If God Is Love, Don't Be a Jerk
Author: John Pavlovitz
Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press
ISBN: 1646982134
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Thou Shalt Not Be Horrible. Imagine for a moment what the world might look like if we as people of faith, morality, and conscience actually aspired to this mantra. What if we were fully burdened to create a world that was more loving and equitable than when we arrived? What if we invited one another to share in wide-open, fearless, spiritual communities truly marked by compassion and interdependence? What if we daily challenged ourselves to live a faith that simply made us better humans? John Pavlovitz explores how we can embody this kinder kind of spirituality where we humbly examine our belief system to understand how it might compel us to act in less-than-loving ways toward others. This simple phrase, "Thou Shalt Not Be Horrible," could help us practice what we preach by creating a world where: spiritual community provides a sense of belonging where all people are received as we are; the most important question we ask of a religious belief is not Is it true? but rather, is it helpful? it is morally impossible to pledge complete allegiance to both Jesus and America simultaneously; the way we treat others is the most tangible and meaningful expression of our belief system. In If God Is Love, Don't Be a Jerk, John Pavlovitz examines the bedrock ideas of our religion: the existence of hell, the utility of prayer, the way we treat LGBTQ people, the value of anger, and other doctrines to help all of us take a good, honest look at how the beliefs we hold can shape our relationships with God and our fellow humans—and to make sure that love has the last, loudest word.
