Perfectly Unique: Praising God from Head to Foot [Paperback]

Annie F. Downs (Author)

Book Description

Release date: September 4, 2012

Your body is an instrument. No, it's not a flute, or a guitar (I hope). It is a sacred and original design by a master craftsman with a specific plan and purpose. That's a pretty big deal. From head to foot, the way you view your body is directly connected to how you serve God. Seriously. From the thoughts you think to the steps you take, every part of you is linked to the divine. Perhaps you are struggling with your body image or are trying to make sense of why God made you as you are. Maybe you are looking for new ways to understand Scripture or to love God more fully. Either way, this book will take you on a thoughtful, funny, and spirit-filled exploration of the way you were designed and will help you better honor the Creator by learning to value his perfectly unique creation (yourself!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read This Book! September 4, 2012

By DKL

Format:Paperback

"Perfectly Unique" is a must-read for any teen girl or young Christian woman you know. I wish this book had been around when I was treading through those difficult teenage years but even now as a 30 year old, I was challenged and encourage by Annie Downs' godly perspective and insight. She has a way of storytelling that makes you feel as if you've known her forever and are chatting over chai at your local coffee shop. Get it for yourself, give it as a gift, or use it as curriculum for a Bible study or small group, just don't miss out on this book!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Encouraging and Amazing September 4, 2012

By Anna Hoffbeck

Format:Paperback

This book is absolutely amazing. I'm a college student and this book totally even applied to me and daily struggles that I think all girls/women deal with. Annie writes in a way that makes it easy to read and also feel like you know her! I would recommend this book to any female, especially those girls in elementary, middle, high school, and college. Since reading this book I've been able to remember a lot of things Annie says and different tricks she says to use in daily life to help me feel better about the woman God created me to be. Definitely buy this book and its wonderful for a gift for any girl:)

5.0 out of 5 stars Will make my daughter read!! September 4, 2012

By Slaten

Format:Paperback

I loved this book and it will definitely be a book that my daughter and I read together as she gets older. Annie gives vulnerable insight and wisdom through her personal experiences on issues that arise in every teen-age girl or woman! God has used this book to bring healing to places in my own life and I'm grateful.
