Inner beauty: The best kept beauty secret
DETROIT, Mi. (PRWEB) February 09, 2016 -- Since the dawn of time cultures have celebrated beautiful people. Society’s obsession with beauty may seem harmless, but what happens to those who are perceived as less beautiful? In her new book, “The Leah Factor,” author Cynthia M. Henry sends an empowering message to those who have felt marginalized because of their physical appearance.
“The Leah Factor” focuses on the biblical character, Leah, who grew up with a beautiful, popular sibling whom everyone adored. Growing up, Leah was described as “tender-eyed” while her younger sister, Rachel, is described as beautiful and highly favored. Leah represents more than just a biblical figure, but a real woman who experienced emotional upheaval.
Although society viewed Leah as unworthy of favor, Leah’s life personified true beauty as examples of God’s love, grace and mercy are interwoven throughout her life.
“I have experienced similar pain to Leah’s in my own life, including a failed marriage,” said Henry. “It became clear that Leah’s story is one many women can relate to”
Working as a high school teacher in the inner city, Henry witnessed how critical students can be of themselves and others based on outward appearance. Henry felt a strong desire to protect the victims while also speaking kindly to the bullies to let them know the serious nature of their actions.
“Unfortunately, we live in a world where looks matter greatly.” “My hope is that The Leah Factor will grant insight into why you are truly beautiful.”
