What Mrs. Thumper is Reading

Here's a note from Shannon's myspace page. She writes:

While I was in Joplin my friend Wendy introduced me to an author. Her name is Angela Thomas and she was sent by God for all women. Sound a little extreme? I am happy to say that I am NOT kidding. I am currently reading her book, "Do you think I'm Beautiful." This is a book for everyone that is or ever has been female. Here's an excerpt:
INTO YOUR EYES

When God looks into the eyes of a woman, He sees all the beauty He created there. He sees every potential and every gift. He can see what can be and redeems what has been. He loves the curly hair you wish were straight. He is taken with your smile and the shape of your nose. He's crazy about big feet and knobby knees and every curve that's particular to you. He is the One who loves the inside and outside of you. You were all his idea and you are physically and emotionally beautiful to Him.

Do you want to dance?Does your soul cry out, "Does anyone see me? Do you think I'm beautiful?" Then hear again Psalm 45:10-11:

Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear;
Forget your people and your father's house.
The King is ENTHRALLED by your beauty;
Honor Him for He is your lord. (emphasis mine)

ENTHRALLED by your beauty. That means captivated, smitten, fascinated, spellbound, and delighted. That's exactly how the prince feel about the princess in fairy tales. But this sentiment is not fiction. Enthralled is how God in heaven feels about you. He is taken with you. Undistracted. Intensely interested. Emotionally connected. He enjoys your laughter and takes pleasure in the way you think. He is not bored with you, and He would never consider you ordinary. There is no way ou will ever go unnoticed with God. You are beautiful to Him. Incredibly, breathtakingly beautiful. When a man feels this way about a woman, we say that he's in love.

Are you hooked? I am and that's just part of one chapter. The longing we feel as women to be protected, cared for, and deeply loved goes unsatisfied because that void isn't meant to be filled by man. This book speaks to the very core of a woman. Please get it today and start reading about the Lover of your Soul.
