Worth A Quick, Empowering Read (With a Giveaway!)
1:00 AM

In a world where we're bombarded every day with images of airbrushed beauty and Instagram-staged perfection, it's easy for women to feel degraded, depressed, and discouraged. In an effort to buoy them up, Wendy Ellison penned her first book, Worth. As the subtitle suggests, the volume discusses individual worth with a special focus on how remembering our divine beginnings can help us find contentment, fulfillment, and purpose, which will lead us to the promised happy endings. Using scriptural examples, quotes from LDS leaders, and personal anecdotes, Ellison expounds on these topics and recommends ways to remind ourselves daily of our personal worth.
Although the book is specifically directed at adult LDS women, it teaches powerful lessons that apply to everyone—male or female, teen or adult, Mormon or non. If you're a member of the Church, you won't find anything new or earth-shattering here, but Worth is still an inspiring read that will boost the morale of any woman. At just over 100 pages, it's a quick, uplifting book perfect for Sabbath (or any time) reading. I enjoyed it.
(Readalikes: I don't read a lot of inspirational/religious non-fiction, so I'm not sure. Suggestions?)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
To the FTC, with love: I received a finished copy of Worth from the generous folks at Covenant. Thank you!
