About the book:

With her own offbeat brand of wit and near-wisdom, inspirational humorist Debora Coty addresses heart needs of women struggling to tame that out-of-control inner beast that unexpectedly pounces, roaring and shredding, as it threatens to destroy the divinely beautiful princess hidden within. In More Beauty, Less Beast, women will find simple, practical techniques for embracing the true beauty rightfully theirs as cherished daughters of the King. Whether jaded by emotional wounds, unrealistic standards, or lack of confidence, this laugh-out-loud, girlfriend-to-girlfriend encouragement will help women transform their destructive inner beast into the exquisite beauty they were always meant to be.

My Thoughts:

Filled with wisdom mixed with humor, snuggling up with this book is like visiting an old friend. Debora Coty's prose is conversational and makes you feel like she's talking "with" you instead of "at" you, while tackling some difficult subjects that all women face: aging, self-esteem, body image, and inner beauty, just to name a few.

Each chapter is only a few pages long, starting with a Bible verse, then Debora's message, a quote, and a few questions to help you focus and really think about what was discussed. Each chapter would make a great devotional or mini-study and would be a perfect way to start out your day. Each chapter is categorized, making it easy to return to again and again for those times you need a little "help".

This is a great addition to any woman's library. Make sure to pick up a copy and tame that "inner ogre" so that you can become the woman God created you to be!
