Jessie Minassian’s Backwards Beauty is a must-read if you have a desire to overcome the bondage of insecurity and body image issues. She is very honest and open about her own battle, making this a captivating and easy read!

Backwards Beauty is an enjoyable and insightful read. As a mother of a teenager, I found many profound truths and insights of great value in raising (or being) a teen in the very confusing climate of body image today. Excellent book.

Jessie gets it—all the ways we can make ourselves feel ugly and what embracing our God-given beauty looks like. In this open, honest, entertaining book, you’ll feel like you are sitting across the couch, under a blankie with a girl who’s been there—talking about the power of our words, our dress, and our bodies—and you’ll walk away feeling empowered to live a life of true, lasting beauty that grows more powerful—not less—with time. Thank you, Jessie, for using your voice to speak truth to a generation that needs it, and making us laugh along the way!

No matter what we look like, for most of us girls, beauty can be the one ugly subject. Jessie tackles the subject of beauty with a unique brand of honesty, transparency, and wisdom. More importantly, she shows us that the secrets to true beauty are found in God’s Word. For every girl who wants to feel beautiful, this book is a must-read.

Jessie helps us move toward embracing our true beauty by backing us away from the crazy talk we don’t even realize we believe. Listen in, hear yourself, and turn away from lies and toward freedom. Silence the hiss and become be-you-ti-ful you!
