God Made Me Beauty-Full: Building Self-Esteem in African-American Women [Paperback]

Terri McFaddin (Author), Paul Goodnight (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1998

God Made Me Beauty-Full addresses the fact that we are full of untapped spiritual beauty. While 10% of our beauty is visible to the eye, the other 90% of our beauty-full gifts and talents are hiding on the inside waiting to be discovered. In a culture that attempts to strip African American women of their dignity and self-esteem, this exciting new book by first time author, Terri McFaddin, takes the reader on a power-full journey into the historical and spiritual heritage of African Americans. Each chapter serves as a road map guiding Black Women back to their true identity as the children of God.

Editorial Reviews

Review

God Made Me Beauty-Full is a hope filled guide encouraging all women to view themselves as well-loved attractive people. Written in an upbeat, sisterly tone, Terri McFaddin reminds everyone that the world sees only 10% of their being. The other 90% is an untapped talent reservoir waiting to be discovered and shared with others. -- M. Christopher, Los Angeles Writers Club Magazine

Terri McFaddin is a noted spiritual expert according to JET Magazine. "In the book God Made Me Beauty-Full, Terri feels that more people believe in God because we live in an era where there is a breakdown of the most fundamental support systems. The family is splintered and many church and community institutions are no longer relevant when it comes to dealing with contemporary challenges." God Made Me Beauty-Full addresses many of these challenges. -- Jet Magazine, January 28, 1998

Finally! This book is your much needed help if you feel insecure about how you were created. The author stresses that only 10% of your beauty is on the outside, the other 90% is on the inside... waiting to be discovered! God Made Me Beauty-full is your road map to confidence! Why do I know the author is telling the truth? Because she's my Mom! I grew up being taught this daily! The chapter, Perfect for God's Purpose, is based on her raising me! Read and be blessed!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book, November 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: God Made Me Beauty-Full: Building Self-Esteem in African-American Women (Paperback)

I bought this book and started reading it immediately. I think this book does a valuable service. I thought just last week about killing myself. I even told someone about it. I just felt useles and hopeless. When I read the poem at the beginning, I knew this book was the message of hope that I have been (literally) praying for. I am thankful that I took the time to order it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank You Jesus!, January 25, 2000

By 

Evangelist Eartha Matthews (United States of America) - See all my reviews

This review is from: God Made Me Beauty-Full: Building Self-Esteem in African-American Women (Paperback)

I was blessed to attend a class on Building Self Esteem which was taught by Sis. McFaddin in July 1998(Full Gospel Conference). I purchased this book following the class and three years later it is still a good resource tool. Psalm 139:14 " I am Fearfully and Wonderfully made" was birthed into my spirit through the teaching of this Woman of God. Sis. McFaddin may God continue to richly bless you and feed your spirit as you deliver what God gives you for his people.
