description: A million messages bombard us everyday about what our body should look like and how we should feel about it. It's time to get beyond those relentless TV messages that day-after-day insist that to be happy we need a new body -- a perfect one. In God Knows You'd Like a New Body the authors argue that what we really need to do is to make friends with the body we've got -- no matter how flat-or fleet- footed, bald or bushy headed, slim or portly we are. Otherwise we can become so obsessed with our imperfections that our body becomes our enemy. Utilizing stories of persons who have affirmed their body-self, this inspiring, practical book spells out not only why we should befriend our body but practical ways to avoid the "perfection trap." Tune out the TV messasge that happiness is reserved for the perfect. The message here is that the body is wonderful, miraculous, amazing and sacred. It may not be perfect but as God said when creating "It is good!" * About the GOD KNOWS Series… Through shared stories, thoughtful insights, and practical suggestions, each title in the God Knows series offers clarity, comfort, and encouragement as we move through the twists and turns of life's journey.
