Promo: God Loves Ugly

Last weekend, at the Revolve Tour, the youth girls of CMLC were blessed to hear Christa Black. She spoke of her pain, her struggles, and God healing her through His all consuming love. I'm very excited to read this book, but till I do I definitely encourage all the women (young and old) of the church to give this one a look. If her writing matches her passion as a speaker then it promises to be a good read (plus all the reviews I've read have been great)!

Here's an abstract from Goodreads.com:

Whenever Christa Black looked in the mirror, she was waging a war with herself. Her hatred of her face and body drove her, as a young woman, into frantic overachievement, addiction, and an eating disorder that landed her in rehab. A preacher's kid, she'd grown up imagining God as a "thou shalt not" tyrant. It was only when she miraculously discovered God's unconditional love for her--physical imperfections, moral failings, and all--that she finally began to accept herself. As she tells her story, Christa shares the tools she uses to combat the self-rejection that harms so many people's lives.  

In this raw testimony, Christa Black takes women on a step-by-step journey of faith and positive belief to reveal that if God loves ugly, then we can too.

This book is now on display on the Youth shelf (under the Fiction section).
