"...In the way that no two snowflakes are alike, neither are we. Each of us reveals a glimpse of God's incredible diversity...."
Because "Body dissatisfaction is such an epidemic that nearly every female of every age has major physical insecurities, no matter how slight her "flaws" really are," Dr. Linda Mintle takes her readers on a journey to discover our uniqueness of design. With humor and great insight, Dr. Mintle shows us how to be at peace with who we are in light of God's love.
From Thighs and Sighs of the Times to An About Face, the author talks about the various body parts that women have learned to despise. She asserts that from childhood we are taught fallacies about our looks, and we have been led to obsess about areas that shouldn't matter. Each chapter ends with her reaffirming God's design and His desire for His creation.
Drawing from her own experience, Dr. Mintle also brings to the reader her extensive background in family therapy and working with those who have eating disorders. Her witty remarks will give you a chuckle, and her earthy wisdom will give plenty of food for thought.
Armchair Interview says: Making Peace With Your Thighs is a book to read and to share with others. Dr. Mintle's godly advice will encourage girls of all ages to see themselves as a one-of-a-kind creation of God.
