What women want: True beauty that lasts. What does it mean to live a beautiful life? Our culture tries to sell countless answers and remedies. But consider the many examples of women through the ages--serving, praying, loving, showing Christ--and how they reveal an allure that goes beyond makeup and spa treatments, knowledge and prestigue. In this 12 month devotional, Gwen Ford Faulkenberry explores 12 qualities of beauty through stories of today's women from diverse backgrounds and stages of life, biblical examples of beautiful and powerful women and personal observations and experiences. Each quality, seen as a single thread in the tapestry of a woman's life, is associated with a core Scripture verse. Weaving these strands through each daily reading, Gwen provides a definition of beauty quite different from the world's--a beauty that will never fade.
