BEAUTIFUL IN GOD'S DESIGN

What if the woman you are - or the woman you love - was never meant to be defined by culture, criticism, or her own self-doubt?
Beautiful in God's Design takes readers on a sweeping journey through Scripture to answer one of the most important questions a woman can ask: how does God actually see me? Drawing from the book of Proverbs, the life of Ruth, the ministry of Jesus, and the honest, sometimes uncomfortable questions Christian women continue to ask about marriage, leadership, and church life, Pastor Arnold Karikari offers a refreshingly direct, deeply biblical answer.
This is not a book that flatters or that scolds. It is a book that tells the truth - about the many "kinds" of women Scripture describes, about the curse that followed the fall, about the dignity Christ restored, and about what it genuinely takes to build a marriage, a ministry, and a life that lasts. Whether you are single or married, a young woman finding your footing or an older woman rebuilding after loss, this book will help you see yourself - and every woman around you - through the eyes of the God who designed her.
Inside, you'll discover: - The fifteen "kinds" of women described in the book of Proverbs, and the wisdom needed to relate to each - What Ruth's story reveals about the anatomy of true virtue - The full, redemptive arc of womanhood - from creation, through the fall, to restoration in Christ - Honest, scripturally grounded answers to the church's hardest questions about women, submission, and leadership - A practical, biblical roadmap for preparing well for marriage - before saying "I do"
You were not an afterthought. You were not a mistake. You are, quite simply, beautiful in God's design.
