I am reviewing a copy of Stop Calling Me Beautiful through Harvest House Publishers and Netgalley:
We as Christian women are beautiful in the eyes of the Lord, but that is not the most important thing the fact that we are Children of God and that he loves us is far more important.
“Being told we’re beautiful in God’s eyes is a surface response to a soul-deep problem. That problem is our own sinfulness.“ Phylicia Masonheimer tells us in the opening of Stop Calling Me Beautiful.
Masonheimer reminds that the true gospel is available to us through God’s word. Because of that it is important that we learn to study it, that we allow ourselves to grow in understanding.
Masonheimer reminds us “God wants us to experience Him. But experiencing God doesn’t begin with emotion. It begins with desire, and it is accomplished by diligence.” Experiencing God is not just an emotional experience, it is in fact an all encompassing experience, or at least that is what it is meant to be.
In this book we are reminded too that the right way to be a Christian is to follow the word of God.
This book is great for those of us who are tired of hearing watered down Christian teachings, and are hungry for a deeper spiritual life. A spiritual life that gives real answers to your difficult questions. If you are looking to grow in your spiritual walk, then I would highly recommend Stop Calling Me Beautiful!
I give this book five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
