Authentic Beauty
The Shaping of a Set-Apart Young Woman
by Leslie Ludy
Authentic
Beauty is a book every young woman should read before embarking
on the quest for true love. In Ludy's book she outlines the need
to follow ones own fairy tale dream come true.But, instead of repeating
the age-old dream of being swept off ones feet by Prince Charming,
she insists that if young women devote their lives to Jesus Christ,
they will find a fulfillment in love that is unparalleled.
At
28, Leslie Ludy is the author of six Christian books, an international
speaker, and recording artist. She speaks to her generation about
issues facing teens and adults today. She emphasizes that many young
women today search for the ultimate love relationship only to give
up. They come to doubt that such a lifelong romance could exist,
and end up settling for less. Ludy believes this is unnecessary
if one gives ones life to Christ. She wants women to know that that
they don't have to give in to the norms of today's society. She
offers guidance and help for women by encouraging them to search
for Mr. Right by leading what she calls a “set-apart life”.
Authentic
Beauty is a book about real beauty, the kind that comes from
within. Unfortunately, young girls are constantly bombarded by advertising
that encourages them to cover up their natural beauty with make-up..
In contrast, Ludy's book gives girls encouragement to be themselves
and find the truth about their inner beauty, free from compromise.
I
found the book to be honest and reassuring and extol it as a must-read
for all young girls. If you like the book there is a companion study
guide, Going Deeper: A study Guide for the Set-Apart Young Woman.
