Redefining Beautiful by Jenna Lucado

Redefining Beautiful is a life lesson type of book for teenage girls. Jenna Lucado is the daughter of the author Max Lucado and she uses some of her experiences growing up with her dad. Jenna Lucado talks about the hormones, boys, friends, and self-images that teenage girls deal with on a daily basis. Jenna uses scripture to teach that we can turn to God and his word to get through any situation. She points out that God is the perfect dad and we can turn to him for absolutely anything.

I really enjoyed the book, even though I’m not a teenage girl anymore it got me thinking about how God sees me especially when I’m not having a “pretty” day. I think any woman can relate to what Jenna talks about in this book. I have a 2 year old daughter and I will definitely be keeping this book on my shelf until she’s a teenager and have her read it. It didn’t really make me think since it’s she puts it all out there, but it definitely kept my attention. I would highly recommend this book to any teenage girl or to moms of teenage girls.
