Elizabeth and I completed this review of Beauty in the Heart: A Study of Godly Beauty for Young Women by Doorposts.
My daughter is 12 and loved this Bible study on godly beauty. 
We have often discussed how God looks at our hearts and not our outward appearance. This study is comprehensive and taught great Bible study technique. The study focuses on Sarah, Ruth, and Esther – and what the Bible says about humility, modesty, serving.
It’s a big girl Bible study!
Perfect for her age and aptitude. Just what I’ve been looking for. It fits right into my mother mission of raising servant leaders.
Boxes in the margins help my daughter learn to use new Bible study methods. She’s learning how to do an Inductive Bible Study. She loves using different colored highlighters.
She’s learning how to use Bible commentary and a concordance – and apps on her iPad mini. One of the margins list online Bibles and apps for use. Super!
My little linguist loves the concordance. She almost got lost in that and had to be reminded to finish the lesson. She’s learning how to look up cross references and really study her Bible well during these lessons.
My baby girl is growing up. I am amazed every day how much she grows in beauty inside and out. I know she looks to me for everything and I must be a godly example to her. She analyzes me – how I mother them, how I treat their father, my husband, my interactions online and in real life. Under that magnifying glass, I strive to live with integrity and to be quick to apologize and ask forgiveness when I fail. Jesus forgives all. I want to respect her and extend her grace and mercy as she seeks her own path with God because I want my daughter to learn to be merciful and full of grace too. Inward beauty is more important, but appearances matter and we should try to look our best. It’s all a balance we must learn.
This Bible study is a step forward for Liz in growing up and learning how to be a godly woman. She has a quick mind and I love the discussion and questions that come from her lessons. I love homeschooling her and knowing that I can teach her God’s way and she’s not away at some government school learning the way of the world.
