Confessions of a Not-So-Supermodel: Faith, Friends, and Festival Queens

By Brooklyn Lindsey

Who you are and who you want to be don't always match up. Like most teenage girls, you've probably spent lots of time in front of the mirror wondering what you'll be when you grow up--or dreaming of who you'll become. Is it a supermodel, an actress, a dancer, or is it a businesswoman, a mom, or even a pastor? Brooklyn Lindsey grew up dreaming of being a supermodel. She even had a chance to do some modeling and became a festival queen. Her experiences taught her a lot about what she did and didn't want in life. But it wasn't until she became a youth pastor that she realized God had already set her "supermodel" dream in motion. God had plans for her to be a different kind of "supermodel." God has a plan for you, too--and it's probably bigger than anything you could ever imagine. Read along as Brooklyn shares stories of triumph and tragedy as an aspiring model, and learn how your faith and your friends play a significant role in who you are and who you'll become. In Confessions of a Not-So-Super Model you'll begin to reshape the way you see yourself and the way you dream. You'll discover that being a supermodel doesn't always require fabulous hair and a great figure.

An Inspiring Read

Well, I grant that I'm not exactly a member of this book's intended target audience but Mrs. Lindsey has crafted an interesting memoir that will undoubtedly inspire many a young girl. She wisely points out that even though she dreamed of once becoming a supermodel her successes never yielded genuine fulfillment. Upon forging a relationship with Jesus Christ in high school her new faith served to greatly diminish her satisfaction at being a festival queen. One of the things I really enjoyed about the book was all the quotations from scripture that she included in her narrative. I can honestly say that many of them were helpful and instructive for me. That the life of faith holds risks is undoubtedly true but its rewards are infinite.

Great for the teenage girl!

It's a great book for teenage girls to read. The discussion questions are great to be discussed with a leader. It has great potential for teenage girls to form an accountability or mentor type relationship with an adult.
