When you look in the mirror ... what do you see? A girl who doesn't quite fit in? Someone who wants to be noticed? But do you ever stop to wonder what God sees?
' In this workbook-style interactive study by Angela Thomas, you will explore these questions and more. The first chapter gets to the heart of the matter immediately - '
Do You Think I'm Beautiful?
' You will be challenged to think about yourself without pretending, in order to be real with others and with God.
T
he next chapters encourage you to look deeper, to seek a real relationship with God, and to make that relationship the most important one in your life. The author also discusses feelings of unbelief, '
soul clutter
', such as insecurity and fear, and different types of sin. There are directions on how to return to a right relationship with God, as well as how to learn and grow. The workbook comes with a CD of the author speaking to a group of teen girls. Angela Thomas's stories about her own life touched me - they make everything she says more real and relevant.
