Stop struggling with your body image and start embracing every part of your body just as it was designed--sacred and unique with a specific plan and purpose--through this thoughtful, funny, spirit-filled exploration that will help you finally and fully accept ... you. Because you were made in God's image and likeness, the way you view your body is directly connected to how you serve God. So how would you see yourself differently knowing every part of your body is linked to the divine? Each chapter in Perfectly Unique focuses on a different part of your body and the potential it has for growing your faith. With wit, wisdom, and compassion, having once walked the same road of daily self-criticism, Annie F. Downs will help you: Stop being so hard on yourself; Stop wishing you were designed differently; Stop comparing yourself to others; Stop criticizing the young woman you see in the mirror every day; and START honoring yourself instead. Ultimately, Perfectly Unique will not only help you understand the reasons God made you the way you are, it will empower you to lean on timeless spiritual principles--like forgiveness and humility--to embrace and celebrate (yes, celebrate) each and every part of you.

At first I thought that this will be just the next instruction book, but i was pleasantly surprised to find out it wasn't so. There wasn't a list of do's and don'ts, where the only thing you seem to be allowed to do is pray. No, I'm not saying not to do that. Of course praying is important, it's just not all there is.
Chapter after chapter, the author introduces us to both real pieces of her life and the importance of each and every part of our body. From our mind and heart, through our eyes and mouth, Annie talks about the wonderful way God has made us, the many ways we do wrong with His work and the even more ways we can glorify Him through each part of our body.
Truth is, I agree with all the things she said. Of course, I'm not proud of myself for not using some of my body parts right. Like, sometimes I gossip. I'm not proud of it, but I do. And sometimes I fail to listen properly or see what's right in front of my eyes. Like, people's needs and hurts, and how you can help.
This book helped me personally to realize that there are aspects of life where I need serious improvement. For that I can only say THANK YOU ANNIE. ( )
