    About this ebook

    When movies and media flash airbrushed models across our kids’ screens, it’s hard for them not to compare themselves negatively. Gain valuable insight into the body positivity moment—how it began, its pros and cons, and why teen mental health is so deeply influenced.

    Features answers to questions including:
    • Where does body shame come from?
    • What does the Bible say about body image?
    • How can I help my kids have a healthy view of their bodies?
    • And more!
    Plus, enjoy discussion questions and advice specific to fathers and mothers to help curb teens’ body negativity.

      Mar 18, 2022

      Matthew 27:46 tells us that about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Here, Jesus was expressing His feelings of abandonment as God placed the

      Middle-age Spread

      Dec 7, 2020
