My Review:
More Beauty, Less Beast is an enjoyable little book full of great little vignettes to read each day or devotionals if you want to call them that. Ms. Coty writes witty and down-to-earth stories that have to do with issues that affect us all as women. Some examples of the topics that really spoke to me were stress, achieving goals, improving self esteem, gentleness, joy and prayer. These are really just a sampling. There are so many more and there is so much to learn from this book.
I love that it's organized into little sections for each topic. Ms. Coty tells a story that really leads into the topic, maybe it's about her or a friend or something in general. She usually employs a Bible verse or example and ends with questions and things to think about through the day. I see some great journaling opportunities if you like to journal. I know she really got me to thinking on each topic.
More Beauty, Less Beast is an easy read. I could read a section in 5 minutes or less and even sit and pray and think about it during that time. I also liked that usually the thoughts she gave me stuck with me for the rest of the day. That really helped to drive each idea further home. I think the book is well put together and the topics Ms. Coty chose are very relevant to women today. I really enjoyed what I have read of the book so far and will continue to enjoy the rest of the book in devotional style through a few more weeks. Goodness knows I definitely have some inner ogre to transform! ;-)
About the book:
With her own offbeat brand of wit and near-wisdom, inspirational humorist Debora Coty addresses heart needs of women struggling to tame that out-of-control inner beast that unexpectedly pounces, roaring and shredding, as it threatens to destroy the divinely beautiful princess hidden within. In More Beauty, Less Beast, women will find simple, practical techniques for embracing the true beauty rightfully theirs as cherished daughters of the King. Whether jaded by emotional wounds, unrealistic standards, or lack of confidence, this laugh-out-loud, girlfriend-to-girlfriend encouragement will help women transform their destructive inner beast into the exquisite beauty they were always meant to be.
