It's Not How You Look, It's What You See: Change Your Perspective--Change Your Life

by Lisa Bevere

"Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others." —Jonathan Swift 1667-1745You are what you have. You are how you look. You are who you know.  Our culture endlessly echoes these lies that hold many men and women captive. Your value, our world says, is a matter of sight—clothes, cars, youth, power, and beauty will make you worth something. But you don't have to measure yourself by the world's standards.You are not what they see. You are who God sees. In It's Not How You Look, It's What You See Lisa Bevere exposes the lie. With a candid account of her personal struggles with self-worth and body image, Lisa shows you how the battle for value can be fought and won. If you struggle with understanding your identity or worth, the truths in this book will set you free.God hasn't asked you to measure up to some ideal man or woman. His plan for your life is uniquely yours. Discover it today!

I’ve read it

Perfect Timing

The insights provided in this book about transformation--True transformation--from the inside out couldn't have come at a better time. Challenging in its raw honesty and sincerity, I'm so grateful I happened upon this book at the time that I did. Recommended to anyone who wishes to have spiritual sight in dealing with both the seen and unseen aspects that hinder Godly transformation.

Read this whole book, and while much of it resonated, I know the Lord brought this book to me at this time for this last part in the last chapter:

“God defines you because He has chosen you. He separated you from the world to bring you back to Himself.”

Couldn’t stop reading it. With every chapter I felt I was being challenged and transformed. Grateful for this gem and highly recommend it.

Very Christian based (which I enjoyed) but this isn't clear until you start reading so could be upsetting /confronting for some people.

Enjoyed it, but not a book I'd read again.

This book is an updated version of You're Not What you Weigh. This book instead of just exploring why you're having weight issues (either over or under) explores how we see ourselves and how we need to see ourselves. If you've struggled with eating disorders (which I have not) I'd recommend this book. As for myself I liked her first book on weight better, but this is still a good book.
