This devotional is something that everyone needs to read. It has completely shifted my view on beauty and what that should look like as a Christian. Paige does a phenomenal job of juxtaposing the worldly view of beauty and what beauty means in the context of a Christian. 11/10, highly recommend ❤️

Love this l struggle with low self-esteem and this is biblically accurate and according to the Bible and its Godly principles.

This material is not theologically sound doctrine. I typically love these studies offered through Hosanna, and have purchased several, but this study is horrible.
For one, Eve was deceived, she did not rebel knowingly. The way Beauty Not Beheld frames the fall suggests that Eve’s primary sin was assuming authority over truth and beauty, but that’s not actually what Scripture says. The Bible explicitly tells us that Adam was not deceived (1 Timothy 2:14). That means Adam sinned with full knowledge, which is far more damning. Eve believed a lie; Adam knew the truth and still chose death, and worse, chose to murder his wife—this is why sin entered the world through Adam—NOT EVE (Romans 5:12). You should pull this book from the shelf. Spreading a false gospel is a deplorable sin.
Please check Bible Studies for Biblical accuracy before printing them. Sadly, I won’t be purchasing any in the future.
We are so grateful to hear from customers as they read, process, and experience our studies and devotionals. As our publishing team read through your review we wanted to respond with a few clarifying thoughts. Our Bible studies go through an extensive theological review and it's deeply important to us to not present anything that contradicts scripture or would misguide our community. From editing, beta groups, to a theological board—we take this seriously. This book has been carefully reviewed by our team & it is our firm belief that it does not present a false gospel. We believe that both Adam and Eve were responsible in their rebellion against God. We believe Eve was deceived, and the author affirms this in the book, but we do not hold the belief that Adam is guiltier than her. Both disobeyed what God commanded. To say that Eve did so unknowingly excuses her disobedience. The author’s argument firmly relies upon the truth that God has the ultimate authority to evaluate the world and what is good. Eve 'saw' the fruit as good. She abandoned what she believed to be true, and believed that her new evaluation—based on new information from another source—must be true instead, even though it was opposite of what God said. We hope that helps explain our point of view, it’s essential for our small business to hold fast to Scripture and its authority—I am sure we have that in common. As we continue to produce quality Bible study materials, we will gladly continue that discipline.

This is a beautiful, stunning study. I am enjoying the content so far, but the font… I’m shocked by how small and dainty the font is. I would suggest making the book bigger to accommodate a larger font for people who have bad eyes.

Very good and wonderful

I decided to do this devotional series with a group of my friends. We all LOVED it! This devotional brings up relevant topics that woman go through, breaks it down, and shows us the truth that comes from Christ. My group took so much away from the 6 week series.
C
I highly recommend all women read this devotional. The world we live in has manipulated our minds about body image and this devotional really challenges that. I am so thankful to have found this!

I mentor a high school senior, she and I did this study together. We took our time reading it and really chewed on everything the author said. It was deeply thought provoking and left us both feeling like there was a lot of our mindsets we needed to change. We loved the study and not to mention how BEAUTIFUL the book was!

I have wanted to read this devotional for a long time. The title itself really drew me in and enticed me!!! When it came in, I was struck by the artistry and colors, but even more so, by the message! Paige suggests a different approach to body image than today’s self-love culture offers. She challenges our preconceived notions of what love is, what perfection should look like, and who we should be as a result. In all truth, this devotional changed my mindset on what it means to love God, others, and myself. God love is love for the other!!!

I highly recommend everyone read and work through this book. You don't realize how much the world and the enemy have manipulated our minds...even as Christians. This book helps flip your mindset to the truth and gain a Biblical understanding of the self and our perception of the world. I have felt much peace and relief for this book, and all the context of Scripture within the "lessons" are accurate and sound.

Amazing

I have been someone who has been obsessed with the worlds way to live. There was a women that I admire that recommended this book and it has truly opened my eyes. This book has really hit me with the truth, something which I needed and I assure you it has literally changed my life, my way of thinking. The author herself, is a blessing

This book is the most godly and enlightening text I have read in just the longest time. I am exasperated with the minuscule text it is printed in. BUT!!! The substance is so VALUABLE, I am currently typing each word of it into my computer, so that I can lead a study for women this summer in a text that is accessible. I’ve never read anything else more worthy of allllll this work!!! Oh, Hosannarevival. Won’t you please consider a paperback edition in at least 10 pt print?? I want to pass this around; no one in my age group can manage this text/font.
And yet. I would do just about anything to get this meaningful, godly, important message to women, so THANK YOU for this book.

I love this duo. Great devotional and great company

Gorgeous! I can’t wait to dive in to this study ☺️🤍

My college daughter recommended this book to me. She happens to be in the same group of women at Paige’s college that Paige was a member of, and this is the one and only book my daughter has ever recommended. And she has asked every woman she loves to read it. It has changed the minds and hearts of her, myself, and my daughter-in-law … in fact, simply the preface accomplished that!!! What an eye-opener!! It is as if Paige peels away the scales that have grown over my world-weary eyes and exposes me to the true beauty of the Light Himself.
As a woman (and a pastor’s wife, speaker, writer, teacher) I do not believe I have read a single more important book to me personally than this one. It is a revelation.
BUT!!! It is nearly impossible to read, physically. I so want to share this with the women in my church. There is zero chance the older ladies could read this text. Is there any way to obtain a copy with at least 10-or 12-point text???
The truths found here are biblical, enlightening, and will set you free, as our Lord intended truth to do.
I offer my highest recommendation.
However, hosannarevival, I PLEAD with you to offer a more reader-friendly version. While truly lovely to look at, this book is far too necessary to be so difficult to access!

Paige is someone I consider a friend, so I was excited to pick up a copy of her first book. I was absolutely blown away at the book itself; it is so easy to read and the art is just stunning. Although I have not finished the book, I can assure you that Paige's words are well researched and prayed over. She approaches beauty from God's point of view, rivaling what we all (men and women alike) struggle with in our own heads and hearts. The first two copies I bought, though intending to grab one for myself, went out as gifts!
L
It's overly descriptive I can't really understand some of the words. It's very hard for me personally to read
M
Being an older woman and author, I was totally impressed by my young friend's debut book. The book, itself, is beautiful. Then, I started reading it, the comprehensiveBible study on a timely topic of beauty and how God sees us. So, though, this is greared for young girls approaching adulthood, it spoke to me as well. Some young women I know will be getting this book for gifts.
J
It was a wonderful experience to read of how we as growing women should live our lives without fear or falling to temptation.(I still have to finish it but still :))

This devotional immediately grabbed my attention from the first chapter. Paige dives right into so many the lies in our culture, and that even Christians have adopted as truth. I love that with each lie, she presents God's truth. It challenged me to view beauty in a whole new way, one that see's God as the ultimate author. Highly recommend for anyone who struggles with self image, comparison, and believing lies.
