Publisher's Description

“Leah Darrow uses her experience in the beauty industry to help the women of our culture see what true beauty looks like.” —Jennifer Fulwiler, host of The Jennifer Fulwiler Show and author of Something Other than God Do you feel like you’re never good enough? Like you should be living a more Instagram-worthy life? Are you exhausted by the impossible quest for physical beauty but still yearn for the validation of being chosen, valued, and deemed beautiful? Drawing on her experience on America’s Next Top Model and her work as a fashion model, Leah Darrow exposes the lies we are told about our worth being tied to our appearance and instead invites us to look again at the real meaning of beauty. She shows how we can reclaim true and lasting beauty—the kind that doesn’t depend on self-doubt, exploitation, or comparison—when we reflect God’s glory and embrace our value as he made us to be: strong, brave, and free. Only when we learn to see ourselves as God does can we leave behind our culture’s definitions and demands and find joy in The Other Side of Beauty.

“Leah’s message and her whole ministry is, in a word: revolutionary. In an era of ‘liberation’ we’ve never had more women (or men) experience life in chains: the chains of negative self image, unhealthy comparison, hatred of their own bodies, false notions of success, or poverty of purpose. Leah is on the front line in the revolution against the emptiness of this age. Join her. Buy two of these books and give one away!”

Chris Stefanick

“The Other Side of Beauty is a thought-provoking journey into the depths of one of our deepest desires—to behold beauty and become one with it. Through her personal experience, wisdom, and humor, Leah Darrow inspires the reader to the authentic love and beauty found in Jesus Christ. I laughed, I cried, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book!”

Sister Miriam James Heidland

“In The Other Side of Beauty Leah Darrow so clearly cuts through the lies of the culture about ‘beauty,’ and presents the wonderful truth of God’s beauty. Leah’s life experiences and her witness of hope will inspire every young woman who picks up this book to remember who they are as God’s daughters and the radiant life for which they were made!”
