\u201cBeauty begins. That\u2019s the point of this book. Our understanding of beauty got started somewhere and somehow, and probably due to someone. Now that may have been a good start, but then again it may not have.\u201d
\n<\/i>
\nWe live in a culture\u00a0obsessed\u00a0<\/i>with beauty. Walk by any magazine stand or turn on a television and you\u2019ll be bombarded with the images and ideals that our culture believes are the definition of beautiful. And if you\u2019re like most women, you\u2019ve probably spent countless hours trying to measure up to this standard whether you realize it or not.<\/p>\n
But if you don\u2019t make peace with your reflection, you\u2019ll end up declaring war on yourself.<\/b><\/p>\n
That\u2019s where mother-daughter team Chris Shook and Megan Shook Alpha want to help. In\u00a0Beauty Begins,<\/i>\u00a0they challenge each of us to trade the pressure of perfection for God’s perfect love. Poignant, relevant, and relatable,\u00a0Beauty Begins<\/i>\u00a0is for every woman who wants to reclaim what it means to be truly beautiful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8548,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"product_cat":[35],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"\n
