From celebrated Hollywood starlets to the covers of Cosmo, our society seems obsessed with beauty. Actress and Main Floor host Nancy Stafford (best known for her starring role as Michelle Thomas on Matlock) digs below our culture's fixation on outward appearance to show you that true beauty is more than skin-deep. "Every woman has beauty," says Stafford, "but not everyone sees it. I want you to see it." In Beauty by the Book she bares her heart to readers, laying out the Scriptures, promises, and truths women need to know to find their true value. Her liberating reflections will help you see yourself as God sees you -- worthy, lovable, and beautiful.“Mirror, Mirror, on the W all…” What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see a unique individual created in the image of Beauty itself—one chosen, Cherished, and valued in the eyes of God? If not, you may be looking in the wrong mirror—one distorted by emotional wounds, lies from your past, or the unrealistic standards of our culture. “Everyone has beauty and worth,” says Nancy Stafford, “but not everyone sees it. I want you to see it.” Nancy shares her own poignant story and holds up the true mirror of God’s Word—inviting you to see yourself as God sees you, to absorb His truth, and to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the King is enthralled by your beauty!

The Beautiful God is for those who are discontent with their current spiritual life and feel that nothing satisfies anymore - longing for less religion and more relationship with God. The Creator of the Universe is The Beautiful God who is "altogether lovely" (Song 5:16). He desires for every person on this planet to understand - and experience the many physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits - and blessings - of position, anointing, and authority found in Jesus Christ - and how to effectively appropriate what He has given to those He calls His own. This book will provide greater understanding and deeper clarity of how magnificent, radiant, and loving The Beautiful God is. It illuminates the path to beginning a deeper journey of faith through relationship and intimacy with Him that will lead to a higher place of living above life's daily trials and tribulations. Craig A. Nelson, as a popular international speaker, carries the message of The Beautiful God and how to live in divine health - emotionally, spiritually, and physically - by living forgiven. His personal mission is to fulfill the Great Commandment and help prepare the Bride to meet the Groom. Craig is a teaching-evangelist, church planter, author, businessman and founder of LifeSpringsUSA. Through sharing personal experiences and insights of the Scriptures gained through years of overwhelming hardships and personal tragedy, Craig has helped many people to grow in greater intimacy and communion with God - as well as to acknowledge the biblical mandate to offer every member of the human family unconditional love through forgiveness and reconciliation.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I couldn’t love my enemies, so I tried to change and prayed to God to make me love them. But I didn’t even love some of my friends, so I prayed for God to help me change that, too. Not long after that, I realized that my hope was not in the outside, in trying to become the person I thought Jesus was, the person I thought Sermon on the Mount followers should be. The only place my hope resided was in the inside of me. I had to change the way I looked at myself. That was the only place I could change. -> A lot of people want to change and would answer yes to these questions, but many of them do not believe it is possible. They lead a Christian life of quiet desperation, longing for change but certain it will never happen. #2 We have been taught that we cannot change, so we stop trying. #3 If you want to change, stop trying to change and change yourself. You can’t change other people, so stop looking for them to change, too. #4 You don’t have control over what you can’t see. You have control over what you can see.
