Recently, I have been reading the book, Authentic Beauty. Just for future reference, this is one of the BEST BOOKS EVER for young ladies, the ages of 12 and beyond!! For the next couple of days (maybe weeks;), I want to share with you the chapter's "in a nutshell" that Leslie has included at the end of each chapter in the book.
Chapter One
Lily White
Found within the antiquated folds of girlish fairy tales is the secret key to unlocking femininity. From Snow White to the Little Mermaid we discover: behind every storybook princess is a noble and gallant prince. But far beyond winsome tales of fictional romance is a breathtaking reality-the noble Hero of our long-lost girlish dreams is real! His name is Jesus. This Prince is not just your average Joe with baggy shorts and a patchy goatee. He is a man unlike all others, with a kiss of life on His lips and a castle far away. With a twinkle in His eyes, He calls us to "come away" with Him and become His princesses. He asks us to give up everything to be His bride. And the secret to unlocking the magnificent dimensions of our femininity, much like our fairy-tale princess counterparts, is found in our response: to give up everything we possess to follow our gallant Knight.
Our Prince is eager to begin a heavenly love story with us. He desires to spring from the pages of Scripture and dance with us in our real, day-to-day lives. He gave His very life on a cross for the opportunity to share life intimately at our sides. The defining question of our femininity is this: will we be willing to give our very lives to Him in return?
He eagerly awaits our replies.
