Brandon Vogt reviews Teresa Tomeo's new book, Extreme Makeover: Women Transformed by Christ, Not Conformed to the Culture, on the Thin Veil blog:
One of the chapters includes what Tomeo calls a “spiritual detox”, a practical game-plan for spiritual healing. There she provides many practices that any woman can do to not only banish a distorted view of feminism but to replace it with one filled with dignity. Her core message here is that a woman’s value is not tied to her physical appearance nor to what she does, but to the simple fact that God wants her in this world, that she is a "Daughter of the King."
Extreme Makeover wraps up with a handful of testimonials from women whose lives were similarly changed through discovering their dignity in Christ. It's fascinating to see how each woman was healed by recovering their own dignity.
Author Meg Meeker claims that “Extreme Makeover will be one of the most significant books for women in the 21st century. It pulls back the curtain on why every woman feels confused and hurt.”
I completely agree with that and think Extreme Makeover can be a key for many women to unlock the prison of false womanhood--a true guide to feminine freedom. It’s a valuable, timely book that should be in the hands of every young woman you know.
