Girl Defined Book Review

-
Oh my goodness! This book! This book is amazing! I almost have no words for it but luckily I have enough to form a book review.
This year I wanted to read more Christian non-fiction and this book was high on my list.
It did not disappoint!




Back Cover Synopsis


"In a culture where airbrushed models and ultra-driven career women define beauty and success, it's no wonder we have a distorted view of femininity. Girl Defined offers a distinctly God-centered view of beauty, femininity, and self-worth. Based firmly in God's design for our lives, this book invites us on a liberating journey toward a radically better vision for femininity--one that ends with the kind of hope, purpose, and fulfillment we've been yearning for."


Everything! Honestly, this book was amazing and so helpful. It's hard to find the words to describe it. It really gave me a new perspective on godly femininity, which I am all for! Godly femininity the way these ladies go about it and uncover it is so beautiful and makes you really inspired. We, women, have a purpose and a great God who designed us different from men for a reason.
Here are a few quotes that I loved:
"Be the woman who inspires change in others through your obedience to God." -Girl Defined
"Love is an action, not a feeling." -Girl Defined
"The most successful women actively strive to merge their earthly work with their eternal value." 
-Girl Defined


It's a great book, girls! I had no problems with anything. They base their points on scripture and everything they have learned is from their experiences and the scriptures.

Here's a blurb from inside the book: "Girl Defined challenges girls to question 'normal' and think through what will ultimately bring them the most satisfaction in life." -Jessie Minassian, author of  Crushed, Unashamed and Backwards Beauty
There! Please read it now!

All women. All women of all ages. From like 14-99! Every woman, in every stage of life, should know what it means to be a woman.


I highly recommend this book, if you couldn't tell and I hope I have convinced you to go and pick it up.

August Favourites

Wow, August has come to an end already! I am so excited that Spring is basically here now. The sunny weather and longer days have really done something to my creative juices, which seemed to be hibernating during winter and now there are awake and flowing again. Books The Beautiful Pretender by Melanie Dickerson My goodness, I enjoyed this book so much! I have a full review in the works but I definitely had to mention it in this post. It's like the second book its series(Medieval Fairytale series). I have just started the third and final book, The Noble Servant and it is equally as intriguing as The Beautiful Pretender. And the cover of TBP....so pretty! Sarah, Plain, and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan This book has become a new all-time favourite of mine! I found this on audiobook on my library's app and since I'd seen the movies a long time ago I decided to give it a go and get a boost on my Goodreads reading challenge. But I never would have known how much

What's on my Autumn Wardrobe Wishlist

-

  Summer is slowly coming to an end and I'm gearing up for the cooler weather by thinking about my autumn wardrobe. I'm planning a little thrifting trip in the next few weeks so I'm hoping I'll be able to find at least a few of these pieces while I'm there.  One of my wardrobe goals for the past couple of years has been to simplify & make it more minimal by slowly adding more basics and colours that easily mix & match with one another. So I kept this idea in mind while I'm putting together this list.  I've noticed that what's lacking in my autumn wardrobe is more tops rather than bottoms.  You can easily get away with only a few bottoms but it's usually the top you're wearing that people notice. So its good to have a little variety!  With all that being said, here are a few things I'm hoping to add to my autumn closet this season. Knit sweaters in neutral tones (white, beige, grey etc.) Source Lately, I've really been loving neutr

She is called Daughter

                                                                      She stood there. Watching. Waiting and dreaming.  Watching the wind toss the branches of the trees. Waiting in the stillness. And dreaming of things still to come. She adored the sweet solace she found on that quiet hill.  How the dainty flowers that grew there, bobbing back and forth in the breeze. For many years she had come here and always to escape the crowd. How they pushed and pulled her; it filled her head with fog. So she came to the quiet hill that felt closer to the sky, to have heavenly conversations with the Father of her heart.  Sometimes she would just sit and think.  Other times she might sing. Often she would pick armfuls of blossoms. But always she knew whose watchful eye was over her and she'd smile at the thought. It was while she was standing there dreaming, that when the breezes stilled, she heard the grasses rustling at her side. She saw a figure approaching,
