The Other Side of Beauty

Embracing God's Vision for Love and True Worth

By: Leah Darrow

Narrated by: Leah Darrow

“Leah Darrow uses her experience in the beauty industry to help the women of our culture see what true beauty looks like.” —Jennifer Fulwiler, host of The Jennifer Fulwiler Show and author of Something Other than God

Do you feel like you’re never good enough? Like you should be living a more Instagram-worthy life? Are you exhausted by the impossible quest for physical beauty but still yearn for the validation of being chosen, valued, and deemed beautiful?

Drawing on her experience on America’s Next Top Model and her work as a fashion model, Leah Darrow exposes the lies we are told about our worth being tied to our appearance and instead invites us to look again at the real meaning of beauty. She shows how we can reclaim true and lasting beauty—the kind that doesn’t depend on self-doubt, exploitation, or comparison—when we reflect God’s glory and embrace our value as he made us to be: strong, brave, and free. Only when we learn to see ourselves as God does can we leave behind our culture’s definitions and demands and find joy in The Other Side of Beauty.

Beautiful

A touching personal story of how one model discovered true beauty in Christ and his Church.

The Other Side Of Beauty is an inspirational and life-changing book.

Leah is a great example for women. Her inner beauty matches her physical beauty and I loved very minute of reading this book.

Good book with one major problem!

I greatly enjoyed this book and overall found it to be empowering. My one problem with this book is on the discussion on modesty. I personally have a modest wardrobe that’s what i feel comfortable in. However, I do not agree with Ms. Darrow that modesty equates a good Christian. More importantly, I wish that she would have taken the time to enforce that we should not judge people based on their wardrobe nor assume that they are not good Catholics because a woman’s wardrobe is not consider modest. Fashion for some people is a form of expression! But other than that I feel the book is wonderful and I can’t wait to share about it.

Leah Darrow does an amazing job!

Well written, insightful, well woven with personal anecdotes and useful data. Goes straight to the heart and head!

best read in a long time
