Books from across the religion spectrum offer readers a tailored look at how to find God’s presence in good-looking outfits, personal style, and the imperfect bodies we’re all given. From Jewish rabbi to conservative blogger to Catholic fashionista, women will find closets full of good advice on how live a life of faith and look and feel good at the same time.

It all begins with how a woman feels about her body, a topic addressed by blogger/podcaster Alyssa Bethke in Satisfied: Finding Hope, Joy, and Contentment Right Where You Are (Worthy Books, June). Bethke wants readers to embrace and cultivate beauty in their lives as well as recognize the distractions that keep them away from the life Jesus wants for every woman. A chapter on body image helps women keep clear on what God sees as important vs. what culture calls important. Worthy editor Jeana Ledbetter calls it an encouraging book that “asks each woman to celebrate and care for her body—to embrace its imperfections, scars, wrinkles and even stretch marks.”

Worthy of Wearing
