Licensed professional counsellor, Julie Lowe, explains what the Bible has to say to young adults about the way we see our bodies.
We are bombarded with the idea that physical perfection is everything. The flawless people on our screens tell us how to make ourselves more beautiful; the advertising industry tells us that our value is in our attractiveness; the voice in our own head tells us that we will never be perfect. We become obsessed with what we see in the mirror.
Julie Lowe's short, helpful guide encourages us to look to Scripture to find out where our true value and worth lie. She shows how we were created in God's image, designed to worship Him - so how can we best use our bodies to honor Him?
Each chapter includes a summary of the main point, and reflection questions that can be used individually or in a group setting.
