"Fashioned by Faith" details Rachel’s struggles, revelations and convictions regarding her modest clothing all while working in the fashion industry. Rachel brings her experience from the fashion world to offer creative and practical suggestions that combine modesty and a great look. Each chapter of this 203 page book includes direct quotes from young men and from Rachel, herself. It’s important that women of all ages realize how important it is to honor God with all they do. Women should take special care to protect their bodies and men should take special care to respect women’s bodies. Rachel shares many stories about how difficult it is to work in her industry while not being willing to bare her body. She encourages young woman to set boundaries and not cross them, no matter how much pressure. There are many discussion questions throughout the book and it would be a terrific tool for a small group or Sunday school class. I think this book is geared more toward younger woman but it is an important read for any woman, especially a mother of girls to read. Rachel encourages girls to involve their parents in their wardrobe decisions and I think that this is something that is seriously lacking in our society. Parents need to insert themselves in EVERY aspect of their children’s lives, including the mundane, everyday choices like choosing and/or approving clothes.
The last portion of this book is a 45-day Bible Study which could be an excellent tool for a group of girls or a mother/daughter devotional type project.
I enjoyed this book and will definitely be using some of the ideas and tools that Rachel offers when my daughter is old enough.
Side Note: This book also includes many beautiful color pictures from Rachel’s modeling career.
