*Litfuse Publicity Group has provided me with an advanced, complimentary
copy of "More Beauty, Less Beast" to read in order to write my honest review.*
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.

Living."

Now for the good stuff... MY review!
More Beauty, Less Beast was very … Interesting! The author has a very appealing way of
writing that keeps you engaged. The book
is very informal and written so that those who are young in Christ can really
understand and appreciate her relationship with God while building his or her
own relationship with God and with themselves. This would be an
excellent book for Women’s groups, church groups, study groups, and book
clubs. The end of each chapter includes three
questions under the title of “Taming the Beast”! The end of each chapter is what makes this an
excellent book for any group setting.
The groups can discuss the questions together, or a group leader can
assign the questions as homework for individual inner-reflection. The book contains sound biblical scriptures in every chapter as well as a scripture index.
I would not recommend the book for daily
devotional reading or for Christian women who are more knowledgeable of the
word and have a solid relationship with God.
Nor for women who have already mastered and tamed their inner
beasts! The book seems too simplistic
for the more mature Christian woman who SHOULD HAVE already conquered these
demons … but you never know they may need a refresher course! Oh, and if you like the color pink the book
is very “girly” and eye-catching! This
book is sure to be a book club/Women’s Group Favorite! On a scale of 1-10, I would give this book a
solid 8!
