Synopsis

Explore God’s priorities for the way you live, eat, and exercise. Every day we are exposed to messages about health, food, exercise, and looking good. It's hard not to get swept along with it all; in fact, it’s easy to end up caring too much about these things and even to feel trapped trying to live up to the ideals that we see in the media. Author Stacy Reaoch points you to the Bible to find freedom! The Bible tells us that our physical selves do matter. But it also invites us to think about our bodies in a God-centered way—helping us to reset and find a balanced approach that is grounded in our faith. Beautiful Freedom is an invitation to love the body God gave you and to explore his priorities for the ways in which you live, eat, and exercise. This book will help you find freedom from damaging narratives about weight, fitness, appearance, and aging. Even better, it will turn your gaze toward Jesus and help you love him more and more.

Goodreads review by Brittany on July 20, 2024

"We’ll be equipped to really examine our motivations— why do we eat the way we do? Why do we exercise, or not exercise? Why are we inclined to go to great lengths to look a few years younger? Why do we have this tendency or that tendency? And crucially, where is God calling us into something better?......more

Goodreads review by Emily on April 18, 2024

This book is written specifically for Christian women and covers areas where women tend to struggle, mostly related to appearance and performance, and determines to point women to the freedom that they have in Christ. This is a short and easy read that does offer a lot of encouragement to the reader......more

Goodreads review by Alyson on April 16, 2025

Loved this little practical book for women about how we can view our bodies, fitness, nutrition, and aging in light of Scripture instead of the world view.

(Though taking 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 out of context was one issue I had with the book) But overall, I was challenged to think biblically about my appearance; the topic of beauty pointed back to how God views it (......more
