Publisher's summary

In a culture of distortions, discover God-defined womanhood and beauty.

In a culture where airbrushed models and career-driven women define beauty and success, it's no wonder we have a distorted view of femininity. Our impossible standards place an incredible burden of stress on the backs of women and girls of all ages, resulting in anxiety, eating disorders, and depression. One question we often forget to ask is this: What is God's design for womanhood?

In Girl Defined, sisters and popular bloggers Kristen Clark and Bethany Baird offer women a countercultural view of beauty, femininity, and self-worth. Based firmly in God's design for their lives, this book helps women rethink what true success and beauty look like. It invites them on a liberating journey toward a radically better vision for femininity that ends with the discovery of the kind of hope, purpose, and fulfillment they've been yearning for.

Girl Defined helps listeners discover God's design for femininity and his definition of a successful woman uncover the secrets of lasting worth, purpose, and fulfillment be equipped and empowered to live out a radically better vision for womanhood gain personal insight through the chapter-by-chapter study guide.

Judgy, narrow and shallow

This surely is a pretty story, all neat and nice from the outside. But I can’t help but feel that the authors are very naive and have been very sheltered growing up. There are obvious issues regarding their theology, and the conclusions they draw from it. They are attempting to ”raise the status” of motherhood and homemaking, but I can’t help but feel that they care more about how society would look ”nicer” if women stayed in their homes. There’s a lot of paternalism going on in their arguments.

I don’t doubt Kristen and Bethany have a genuine passion for young girls, but their effort is too shaped by American culture for me to take it seriously (there’s a world outside the u.s, you know). Kinda like 1950’s video propaganda.

The chapter on biblical gender roles is simply embarrassing. The descriptions of what is female throughout the book is shallow, artificial and again, contains more American culture than God’s kingdom. I suggest Kristen and Bethany research history more, and try to look beyond their American worldview.

According to Kristen and Bethany, a married woman with children cannot and should not pursue contentment and happiness outside the home. This I believe is harmful, and yes, even offensive to God who has created women all over the world to do a plethora of things, all for the glory of God and the spreading of his kingdom: lead countries, do business, preach, excel in creativity and academics. It is dangerous when someones lack of (for instance) academic ambition becomes the norm.

This book will create women whose lives look neat from the outside. But that won’t change the world. I do believe that some girls who genuinely wish to be full time moms may find this book helpful, but I’m sorry to say that Bethany and Kristen are very judgy towards everything they don’t understand. That isn’t the right attitude. So no, I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone.

Great Book!

It was an amazing biblical based book that really makes you think about your life, actions and whether or not they’re honoring God.

Prayerfully life changing.

Such wisdom and good direction, highly recommend to any ladies that feel lost, no matter their situation. Filled with loving encouragement, guidance, and truth. Humorous and reflective. personally, I will be on my way to find a physical copy as well, so that it is easier to go through the study questions and more readily available to reference on a fly. The questions are read through quickly, so it is more fruitful to pause audiobook, write them down, and then answer them.

Such amazing content!! Helped me so much!!

I loved this book for so many reasons! It helped me work through a very difficult time in my life. i was so consumed by becoming this picture perfect woman but when I took a step back and listened to this book, I gained the knowledge and understanding of what Christ views womanhood as. It really shifted my perspective and has been so incredibly impactful on my life. Thank you!!

Unapologetically Christian

This book is amazing. It is so refreshing to read a book that sticks to the word of God in a world that is so quick to shy away for the sake of mainstream beliefs. Kristen and Bethany are modern disciples of Gods true word. I have referred countless young girls to this book and will continue to. This is a must read for every young Christian woman. I am in my 30’s and have had countless revelations from this book. Thank you so much for this!

Love this book!

So very thankful for what God is doing in and through these wonderful girls! And thankful that they are so willing to submit to God, stand for truth, and shine the light of Christ to a lost generation. Having had few Christian role models to look up to throughout my growing up years, I am especially thankful to have two girls slightly further on in the race cheering me on and sharing how I can better run the race for Christ with perseverance. :) You simply must read this book! :)
