Fierce Beauty by Kim Meeder

About This Book:
True beauty is not about how you look… but how you live. Women are constantly bombarded with the lie that how we look is far more important than who we are. It’s time for a clarion call back to the truth. Journey with gifted storyteller Kim Meeder as she encourages women to see that true value is defined by our Creator and that our worth has a purpose of eternal proportions. Real beauty isn’t a look, it’s an action. It can be found by making one crucial, life-defining choice—to lay down personal ambitions and selfish desires, pick up your sword of encouragement, and fight for those who are losing their battle for hope. As you do, fierce beauty is revealed—along with lasting value, fulfillment, and joy. In Fierce Beauty, Kim shares inspiring true stories from her own life of adventure, love, and loss—including her parents’ shocking death when she was nine years old and her struggles with self acceptance, knowing God, and standing for Him. Through it all, you’ll discover life lessons about trust, transformation, surrender, forgiveness, and genuine purpose. Ultimately, life comes down to one question: Will you serve yourself or your King? Includes discussion guide for individuals or groups. “You were not created to be a princess of entitlement but a warrior, fighting to bring love and hope to the world.” – Kim Meeder Fierce Beauty by Kim Meeder (Ch. 1 excerpt)


My Opinion:


   Few Spiritual Encouragement books get my attention as strongly as Fierce Beauty did. I did not read this book once, but twice! Yes twice! Before I could sit down to write my review of this book, I felt compelled to read it a second time. It isn't a long book, but it is filled with such inspiring and encouraging words that I truly wasn't sure I had understood it correctly the first time. 


   Kim Meeder is an amazing woman. She share her own life experiences and how these things led her to where she is as a child of the living God. She not only encourages but challenges us at every turn. 


   Though this seems to be directed toward women, I think this is a book that can and should be read by men as well. Each of these inspirational situations, challenges and conclusions are all inclusive as children of God. Each gender having their own challenges and discouraging moments in life, can be redirected in a godly and positive manner through her writings.


   I laughed, I cried and I felt her struggles and her joys through her trials and triumphs in her journey. Inspiring just doesn't say enough of how her words helped me to see that my own beauty within is far more important and far more godly than my outside. I choose to take off my crown of entitlement and move on as a daughter of my Heavenly Father. Striving to be HIS and distancing myself from being the worlds.


   I highly recommend this book to anyone and, in fact, encourage you to purchase several copies and give them as gifts. This is one of those books that is sure to bless anyone. From young teens to the elderly in our lives, this is a book that needs to be read...more than once!
