The Pursuit of Beauty

With society's view that happiness and achievement are summed up in the figure of a supermodel, millions of women find themselves spiraling downward into a funnel of diets, self-denial, rigid workout programs, and sadly, eating disorders. Author Katie Luce, a vital partner in her husband's ministry to young people, has seen too many girls and women damage themselves -- body, mind, and soul -- in pursuit of what the world calls beauty. Her own battles with eating disorders, and subsequent freedom, make her an eloquent spokesperson for the Christian response to the problems of anorexia and bulimia.
