Publisher's Synopsis
Have you struggled with believing your body is beautiful? Have you found yourself judging someone else's physical appearance harshly? Do you wonder if it's possible to see the female body like God sees it, with love? You are not alone, Lovely.
Juleeta Harvey is an author, speaker, and podcast host who has asked herself and the young women in her community these very same questions. As a young woman, she struggled with believing lies about what a girl "should" look like. Her beliefs fueled addictions, which surfaced in a decade-long battle with anorexia, bulimia, and body dysmorphia. But over time, her relationship with Jesus put her on a path toward seeing herself and those around her with love.
She is on a mission to create safe places for young women to gather so that they can engage in compassionate conversations about healthy body image. This four-week study guide invites high school and college aged girls to engage in honest, life-changing conversations about how they see their God-gifted bodies. A portion of Psalm 139 is the foundation for the study, which equips young women to believe their bodies are worthy of love and instrumental in impacting positive change in the world.
