CAROL KENT

SPEAKER AND AUTHOR OF BECOMING

A WOMAN OF INFLUENCE

Every one of us has the tendency to compare our insides to other peoples outsides. When we do that, we never measure up. We see ourselves through the skewed lens of our imperfections and we miss out on what God says about us. Elisa has given us a gift by revealing the beautiful way God sees us, even in the midst of our imperfections. Pick up this book, put Gods lens of truth on your eyes, and see your incredible value today.

JILL SAVAGE

AUTHOR OF NO MORE PERFECT MOMS

In Hello, Beauty Full, Elisa Morgan invites us to see ourselves the way God sees us and to live loved in our worlds. What better way to teach our daughters, sisters, and friends that they are beauty full, too, than by living in Gods beauty ourselves?

JULIE CLINTON

PRESIDENT, EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN CONFERENCE

As a longtime student of beautys many faces and betrayals, I did not expect this when I opened Elisas book: dog-eared pages, underlines, held breath, tears. I know no woman believes she is beautiful. But theres a good chance that Hello, Beauty Full can begin to end the war we are all waging against ourselves. This soldier may be finally ready to lay down her arms. Thank you, Elisa!

LESLIE LEYLAND FIELDS

AUTHOR OF FORGIVING OUR FATHERS AND MOTHERS

As a woman who has battled anorexia nervosa twice, and nearly died trying to be the kind of beautiful the world champions, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Elisa Morgan speaks of a rare kind of love, an Abba kind of love, which reaches down into the heart of every single woman and comforts the little girl within: the one who longs to know she is seen and heard, and more than thatdelighted in. Hello, Beauty Full is a must-have manual for every aching spirit longing to find its way home.

EMILY T. WIERENGA

AUTHOR OF MAKING IT HOME: FINDING MY WAY TO PEACE, IDENTITY, AND PURPOSE

In a time when women are bombarded with messages about who and what we should be, Hello, Beauty Full is a reminder of what is true. Reading this book acts as a recalibration. It prompts an introspection of how we are each uniquely created and a discovery of new aspects of Gods handiwork through us. Hello, Beauty Full will help women everywhere better understand their God-spoken, God-designed selves.

ALEXANDRA KUYKENDALL

SPECIALTY CONTENT EDITOR, MOPS INTERNATIONAL AUTHOR OF THE ARTISTS DAUGHTER: A MEMOIR

As women we often fail to realize that by critiquing our design, we critique the God who has a divine purpose for every detail of who we are, inside and out. When we view ourselves through a constant lens of negativity, we limit our vision of the ways that God wants to work through our unique gifts, experiences, passion, and positions of influence. Elisa uses this book to challenge all women to expand our understanding of who we are and how God sees us and desires to use us to impact the world. A must-read for every woman!

CHRISTIE LOVE

FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, LEADHER

Full-bodied and brave, Elisa Morgans glorious exploration of beauty punches a big hole in the Enemys lie that you, woman and man, arent enough. Turns out God created in each of us his beautiful best. Thank you, strong Elisa, for this magnificent, powerful, take-no-prisoners reminder: I am beautiful. We all are. Heres real help for how to accept that truth and live in it.

PATRICIA RAYBON

AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF UNDIVIDED: A MUSLIM DAUGHTER, HER CHRISTIAN MOTHER, THEIR PATH TO PEACE

Elisas words hum with a rich fullness as they challenge our assumptions and massage the truth of our beauty deep into our hearts. A beauty full book for women of all ages!

AUTHOR OF UNASHAMED: OVERCOMING THE SINS NO GIRL WANTS TO TALK ABOUT

Hello, Beauty Full is thoroughly enjoyable because of Elisas wit, wisdom, and transparency. But it is the depth of the book that captured my soul. With every passage I felt myself in conversation with God. I learned much about myself and, better yet, what self-imposed obstacles were keeping me from moving forward in many areas of my life.

LORI RHODES

Never has a topic been more timely, or its handling more timeless. Thank you, Elisa, for using your scars and your sway to awaken wonder in all of us at the beauty weve ignored.

Shes done it again! Elisa Morgan has boldly opened wide her heart and empowered me to have the courage to look inside mine. Elisa reveals the truth about the sacredness of the love and beauty that lives in our heaps of messiness. With masterful storytelling, time-outs for practical assessment, and a rhythm that leads back to the fearful and wonderful essence in each of us, Hello, Beauty Full is the book every woman must read. Between the words on every page, healing happens. I encourage you to give your heart, mind, body, and soul the gift that God knows it deserves. I simply loved it.
