Therefore, get ready for me to smack down must-have resources for women everywhere.
Images of His Beauty is a 10-week Bible Study for teens and young adults. Written for those who struggle with self-esteem, distorted views of body image and eating disorders, Tracy Davis Steel lays out an easy to follow guide for women who want to find hope and healing through Christ. Perfect for mentors, counselors, or small group leaders. This book includes Facilitator's Training Material, Girls Rule Guidelines, pages to journal, Group Commitment forms, and interactive questions.
Fantabulous Resource #2: Hallow: An Unpolished Tale by Jena Morrow. Word on the street (translation: gossip I heard from someone who is in the know) said this book about one woman's lifetime struggle with an eating disorder left the people at Moody Publishers weeping. True fact, people.
In Kendal’s book Full, readers meet the sweet-talking and ever-powerful Ed (Kendal’s name for her Eating Disorder).
At first, Ed's whispered words make sense and seem reasonable. Just two pounds.
But as time passes, Ed firmly grips Kendal’s body and mind and demands full obedience. Obedience measured by Ed’s strongest weapon, the scale.
Fantabulous Resource #4: Chasing Silhouettes: How to Help a Loved One Battling an Eating Disorder by Emily Wierenga. A few months ago, I interviewed Emily, and she answered questions for tween girls about remaining spiritually, physically, and mentally healthy. She also gave readers practical ways girls can view themselves as God sees them. Oh, and have you heard about E's new book? It's about daring to love yourself. How appropriate for the theme of this month, yes?
Fantabulous Resource #5: My favorite of the Dove video series. Yes, I know this video is old, and yes, I know I've already shared it with you, but people, I just can't let it die. No, expect to see it again.
What about you? What are your favorite books, movies, websites, and resources which encourage positive self-image in women and girls? Do you know any of the fabulous ladies mentioned above? Feel free to gush about them. Ready? Go.

This is a great list of resources. And that video never gets old!
and thanks for the post. tracy's book is on its way to me, and i already have em's:)
The way you love people and cheer for their art is inspiring Amy. Thank you for sharing these resources, some of which I was clueless about.
awesome! and i was clueless about some of these, too.
i'd never seen this particular Dove video--horrifying.
i would like to think my three girls have a fairly healthy self-view. . . but i also am very aware of how an unhealthy view can sit quietly for years before it finally makes itself known.
sorry i don't have another resource to add to the list!

Kendal,
Good to know about your book being 20% off! If you haven't read Full, you must. It's haunting.
I'm glad some of these books are new to people. Sometimes I hesitate to share because I feel as if everyone knows. I'm happy this isn't the case. Oh, and Steph, there are other Dove videos too. Short clips, but really good messages.
Emily W. is one of the most genuine dear souls I've encountered online. She's changing lives in her obedience.
I'm so glad to read this post. I'm raising three young girls and I get so tired of the warped messages they are hit with each day.

This is important for everyone. I don't think there can ever be enough emphasis on healthy body image. Distortions are everywhere. Thanks for doing the hard work for us here, A. :)
Unquestionably believe that which you said.
Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the simplest thing to
be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they just don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like
you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some
pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this
is excellent blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.
