God Loves Ugly

Christa

Whenever Christa Black looked in the mirror, she was waging a war with herself. Her hatred of her face and body drove her, as a young woman, into frantic overachievement, addiction, and an eating disorder that landed her in rehab. A preacher's kid, she'd grown up imagining God as a 'thou shalt not' tyrant. It was only when she miraculously discovered God's unconditional love for her - physical imperfections, moral failings, and all - that she finally began to accept herself. As she tells her story, Christa shares the tools she uses to combat the self-rejection that harms so many people's lives.
