Beyond Your Wardrobe -
Take a deep dive into the heart of biblical modesty

Is there more to modesty than the clothes we wear?

​Modesty. It’s a word that can tend to make women cringe. This is because for many years, people have concluded that modesty is a list of rules women have to keep about the clothes they wear. This version of modesty leaves women afraid that they will have to dress "frumpy and dumpy" to do it right. If you are tired of hearing this cringe-worthy version of modesty, you need to know that there is more to how we should dress than hemlines and dress codes. That's why it's time to throw out these false perceptions and redefine biblical modesty for a whole new generation. That's why through Beyond Your Wardrobe, you will:
​
  • Identify prominent lies that many women and teen girls believe about physical beauty and modesty
  • Learn different facets of what the words "modest" and "modesty" actually mean, and how they apply as much to the attitude of your heart as it does to your clothes
  • Take a deep dive into what the Scripture does and doesn't say about what we should wear
  • Discover how to find the best source for your worth and how to possess a beauty that will never fade away
  • Receive tips and answers to your questions about how to apply these principles to what's currently in your closet

​With an appendix for men, links to articles and videos, and a Bible study guide, this isn’t like any modesty book you’ve read before. Instead, it’s an invitation to discover the power and freedom that biblical modesty has to offer anyone willing to embrace it.

What People Like You Think About the 1st Edition of Beyond Your Wardrobe

“Humility, gratitude, grace, and faithfulness are just a few of the ways Bethel Grove takes modesty ‘Beyond Your Wardrobe.’ I love that she dives right in by going to the heart of the issue, but she isn’t afraid to answer the questions we all know every girl has, and still brings it back to what’s in our hearts in the end. Reading Bethel’s book is like talking to a big sister. She isn’t afraid to share her opinion, but you know she is pointing you in the right direction.”
​Heather Hart – Director of FindingYourTrueBeauty.com
“Bethel is a rising voice out of the young generation on behalf of modesty. She speaks out of her own experience, vulnerability, passion, and research. It is refreshing to find someone in your corner who, ‘gets it’ when it comes to the tensions of this topic. But more importantly, she dives deeper past the rules and into the heart.”
Danielle Brown – Kids Lead Pastor of 7 years
"Beyond Your Wardrobe is a well-written book that clearly shows how modesty is really more than just about clothes. Modesty is "an attitude that doesn't desire to draw unnecessary attention to ourselves but instead wants to focus it on the God we worship. Bethel does a good job supporting that point throughout the book and also emphasizing the worth we all have from God. She includes practical examples for women as well as men. It is important to get at the heart of this issue and not just treat the symptoms with rules about clothes. May we all be truly modest and live to give glory to God alone."
Teresa - Amazon Reviewer
"I have 3 children - 21 and 19 year old young women, and a 13 year old boy. This book has helped me in giving them pointers on how to dress. Like someone else mentioned, it helps when they hear advice from other people outside the family. I was happy to see the part directed to men. Modesty will always be a thing, even when it doesn’t seem to always be on the forefront. Modesty can also make someone more beautiful than showing more skin. The links to the videos and articles are very helpful. This book is very good to help you in raising young men and women on the right path."
KC - Amazon Reviewer
“Beyond Your Wardrobe takes a deeper look into modesty while reminding the reader of their tremendous value in Christ. God’s word is clear and speaks to modesty for both young men and young women and shows its direct correlation with the condition of the heart. Challenging and thought-provoking you will appreciate this exploration of the idea of modesty.”
Jeff Dungan – Father of a Princess Worth Dying For
“If you're like most men, you probably have no idea what a big deal this issue is for women. Reading this book will help you understand the challenges that women face today in making wise and godly decisions regarding their clothing, and you'll be better equipped to support the women in your life in their wardrobe choices. Plus, there's also some great advice for men when it comes to their clothing choices as seen through the eyes of our sisters in Christ.”
Matt Stafford – College Professor

Note about the Updated Edition

About 9 months after I published the original version of Beyond Your Wardrobe, I also published Study Guide for Beyond Your Wardrobe as a separate book and the Beyond Your Wardrobe DVD. I was excited to see what would happen if I developed the book into a full study. Unfortunately, while the original book did OK, the study guide and DVD did not. Less than a year later, Amazon shut down its Media on Demand service, which was the only way to distribute the DVD without paying platform fees. I tried making the videos available as video downloads, but this also did not work.

So when I decided to update Beyond Your Wardrobe, I also decided to simplify the curriculum by adding the study guide materials into the updated edition, so the study guide will no longer be sold as a separate book (although the study guide portion can be purchased in PDF form). I also made the decision to eliminate the videos from DVD altogether and take all but one of the DVD sample videos down from YouTube for two reasons: 1) Some of the updates made some of the videos obsolete 2) Neither the DVD or the video download package sold at all 

I was quite disappointed to eliminate the DVD videos, largely because I held a small Kickstarter campaign to help fund the extra smart phone equipment I needed to complete them. But I would still like to honor the backers of the project here by sharing their names:

Viola Sultan
Landon Adams
Beth Swale
Kathy Walker
Other backers on Kickstarter

Thank you to each and every one of you for helping to make the curriculum a reality. While the videos are not available anymore, the impact of the curriculum will hopefully grow, thanks to your generosity.
