Does This Fig Leaf Make Me Look Fat? - Paperback

by Merry Taylor (Author), Linda Sloan (Author)

How many of you have ever asked, "Does this dress make me look fat?" Probably Eve was asking the same thing! Many women, since the time of Eve, have looked for joy in all the wrong places. They put pressure on themselves trying to be all things to all people. Have you ever felt put down, overwhelmed, empty or misunderstood? After listening to women in their workshops across the country, Merry and Linda share-with hilarity and realism-what they discovered to be the five best ways for women to recapture joy, purpose and grounding in their lives: - Cultivate positive attitudes - Delight in laughter and humor - Find self-esteem and purpose - Decode male-female communication styles - Grow and live in faith They invite you to smile, laugh out loud, and maybe even shed a tear at stories from real people included in each chapter.
