If you are like me, you love to be given a front-row seat, a backstage pass, or that red-carpet invitation! I had the honor of seeing this book, and the TV series that inspired it, blossom from a seed to an amazing, beautiful adventure because its very talented creator, Rebecca, took a few weeks in her travels to edit and do a few photo shoots from my home. Not only did Rebecca find beauty all over the world, she teamed with God to create beauty wherever she traveled! This book will create beauty in your life and will give you the tips and tools to paint a path of beauty wherever you travel too!

What would it look like to pack your bags and travel the world in search of true beauty? If you wanted to document authentic beauty, would you capture fashion models on runways, natures finest mountaintops, a mothers arms, or intriguing corners of the globe that most people ignore? I did it all in a nine-month adventure from Paris to Los Angeles, styling makeovers and photo shoots with fascinating women who shared powerful discoveries about passion, faith, and beauty. I found that many lies women mistakenly believe about their identity are often similar, regardless of their background or nationality, and that each radiant truth also has a common theme. This book is your personal ticket to adventure and a daring quest to discover your identity as a woman of God! Lets travel togethermeeting new friends, styling great makeovers, and learning what Gods Word teaches about timeless beauty.
As we start this adventure, let me explain what motivated my journey. As a film director, I was hired to produce a documentary that pulled back the sleek veneer of todays fashion industry. According to the New York Post , a survey conducted of over three Eating disorders and competition abound as the worlds most beautiful vie for the next job and strive for the unattainable mirage of perfection. Even when a model gets a job, she is simply considered a performer for the photographer. In fact, the word for model in French is le mannequin , meaning mannequin. Like an expendable droid in a sci-fi movie, she is easily replaced by the next girl waiting to fill her shoes. One former model told me through her tears, I felt like a piece of meat in a butchers shop window... just a piece of flesh to be haggled over. Was this really all there was to life?
This curious quip about meat resurfaced when I was shooting a scene for the film near the Ponte Vecchio, the Old Bridge spanning the Arno River, which winds its way through Florence, Italy. Over a thousand years ago, this bridge was lined with shops of local butchers, who used the bridge for a meat market. After cutting the choice parts from the meat, they threw the leftover, unwanted carcasses into the Arno River below, until the water reeked with the smell of rotting flesh. In 1593, a magistrate named Medici Grand Duke of Tuscany decided to shut down the meat market. Then he reopened the shops to house jewelers and sellers of gold. Today those gold shops are still open, and when they close for the evening, the shop doors are cleverly designed to look like the tops of treasure chests.
