A Beautiful Mystery : What’s Up With Modesty? (Heather Thieneman)

 Because true modesty is rooted in a deep appreciation for the body and its beauty, A Beautiful Mystery  shows pre-adolescent girls how God gives variety in beauty— different  shapes and sizes and colors— and how modesty honors their bodies.  Chapters such as The Case of the Ordinary Marvel and The Case of the  Ridiculous Pig open up from Scripture the themes of God’s goodness, body  image, inner beauty, modesty, God’s design for marriage and, above all,  the need for Christ. Each chapter closes with A Clue to Chew On— a  verse from the Bible for additional meditating and journaling.  Illustrations drawn from such familiar, yet varied, sources as nature,  Mary Poppins, hymns, and The Secret Garden, along with vivid pictures  and artwork on every page, help to keep young girls engaged.

In  focusing on the principles behind modesty, A Beautiful Mystery stays  away from specific rules so that you can fill in the standards of dress  for your family. Likewise, sensitive subjects are touched on in a way  that treasures your daughter’s girlhood, leaving it to you to elaborate  on the joys and wonders of the marriage relationship as you think  appropriate. The opportunities for meaningful conversations are a great  reason to read this book with your daughter!
