Do You Think I'm Beautiful?: The Question Every Woman Asks

Honestly the book was an awful lesson in vanity. It was picked by a member of out ladies book group and we all powered through it but was not enjoyed by any in the group. The author drools on endlessly about superficial looks and desire for physical beauty but rarely digs deeper into spiritual love and contentment. Rather than being uplifting the obsessiveness over physical appearance makes you question the author faith rather than confirm it.

I really enjoyed this book!! I got it as a book for my Bible study group. It's not a great book for that, which is why I took away one star, but it is an excellent read! It's very easy to read and is applicable to a variety of women with completely different life experiences. It's perfect for self-reflection and for challenging where we place our self worth. I recommend it!

One of the most soul searching Bible study’s I’ve ever done

This book started off so well. In fact, I was enjoying the beginning and middle portions so much I purchased several copies for friends and family. Unfortunately, the end of the book takes a bit of a nose-dive. It is clear throughout the book that the author has suffered a terrible personal loss... though she never directly states it, it is implied that perhaps her marriage has ended. While that in and of itself is not an issue, it seems she may have been writing the book while she should have been grieving for the loss and recuperating in the loving arms of God... instead, parts of the book seem like they are written to her husband as sort of an in-your-face message. Of course, I cannot be sure of that, but it does come across that way in parts. She has a great message going-- it is beautiful to hear the relationship of our God to us as she describes it, but I think she was trying to convince herself at the time of the writing and it sort of breaks your heart for her struggle.

This book was recommended for my daughter by a therapist at her inpatient facility she's in for anorexia. I bought it for her and read it first. I thought it was excellent, but thought many of the thoughts were for an older person...she's 14. After buying this book I realized there is a version for teens. I purchased that for her too. She said the girls at the center all loved the teen version that was done in a magazine format. So, great book for an adult, but if it's for a teen, I'd go with the book modeled after this one just for them!

This book is God sent. Opened my eyes even more as to how my Heavenly Father (who is perfect) thinks that I am beautiful. Imperfect man's opinion does not count anymore. I have been healed from a self loathing attitude and all rejection. Every person needs to read this awesome book. You will never be the same.

Angela Thomas is an excellent Bible teacher and speaker. Like her Bible studies, this book is relevant and inspires application. Angela addresses a woman's heart issues and offers great material from Scripture and real life experiences. Very worthwhile read!

Cannot believe I've never heard of this author before. Reduced me to tears within the first few pages. Angela Thomas is a stunning writer, would recommend to any women who feel they're not quite in sync with the world.

I loved this book and it was instrumental in helping me find self-esteem... or maybe that's God-esteem. I wrote a long quote from page 24 and carried it with me and read it every time I felt self-critical and self-judging or read it when in a long line at the store. Through her beautiful validating words, I have learned to love myself, see myself as valuable and to better accept God's love of me - just the way I am.

It's one of my most favourite books - I read it upon discovering that my mother's 'mistreatment' of me was actually called 'abuse.' I was very fragile at the time ... and this book delighted my soul.

A must read for every woman.
