Some people want to look beautiful, wearing the best clothes, with gorgeous hair, and pretty jewellery. But is that what beauty is all about? Anna was devoted to God and longed to meet the promised Messiah. Leah realised that skin beauty was not as important as trusting in God for your salvation and Dorcas showed her true beauty by showing God's love to others. All these stories and others like them are in the Bible. These Bible beauties can teach us how to be women of God, people with an eternal beauty that is more than skin deep!
Endorsements
... a great resource to help girls understand the biblical standard of beauty. It's also a fun read!
Each chapter begins with a fun multiple choice quiz, explains the life of the woman being highlighted, then moves into application. There is a section on Beauty Tips which covers a biblical concept relating to beauty and includes related Scripture verses to read. There is also a section on Godly Beauty, which helps girls apply the concept being covered. This begins with a verse, and includes an application and passages to look up. Think About Jesus shows the manner in which Christ displayed the type of beauty being examined. There are more verses to look up in this section.
This would be a great read aloud for girls ages 5-8, and a good devotional or fun read for independent readers up until about age 11.
