When I was part of the launch team for the book Girl Defined a year ago, our whole team received this ebook as a gift. I was quite excited about it, since I was really inspired by Girl Defined and enjoying studying the topic of modesty. When I finally took the time to read it, I couldn’t put it down! I loved Bethany’s and Kristen’s perspectives on the topic, especially when it comes to grounding our view of modesty in Scripture. This is something that millennials need to learn, not just in relevance to modesty, but in all areas of life. I was challenged to re-evaluate my own standards, which is a good thing to do when it comes to modesty because fashion is an ever-changing presence in our culture. It challenged me to remember that my standards of modesty must always seek to honor God, which is exactly what these girls do. Their passion came through once again as it did in Girl Defined. Part of me wishes that the book could have been longer and had been a physical book! This is a great resource that I would highly recommend to women of all ages ~ Bethel

​When it comes to modesty, most girls don’t want to think about it. We have all had fights with our parents about the appropriateness of our outfits. We all want to be beautiful and attractive without regarding the consequences. So many of us have bought into the lie that modesty and fashion do not go together and therefore, we can’t honor God and still keep up with the latest fashion trends. Our culture is trying to sell to us that the less clothes we wear, the more attractive and empowered we will be as women. All the while, as we reveal more of our body on the outside, we also expose our struggles with attitude and selfishness on the inside. These leaves so many of us caught in the tension of wanting to honor God, but not wanting to dress like our grandmothers. It makes us ask the questions: What does God think about modesty? Is there a way to dress modest and fashionable?

​In the book Project Modesty, Kristen Clark and Bethany Baird share a biblically grounded perspective about the importance of modesty in the life of a Christian woman that wants to honor the Lord with her life. They walk through the problems with our culture’s views on how much we can take off and then they walk us through the reason why we even have to wear clothes, tracing it always back to the Garden of Eden and the first sin. They help us understand that modesty isn’t about rules; it’s an act of obedience to God and shows gratitude for all Christ did for you. They even bring in the opinions of a few guys to help us understand the importance of making modest wardrobe choices. After they walk through the reasons, they actually demonstrate what modesty looks like, and how you can still be fashionable in the process of being modest.

​They devote about half the book to walking through their personal modesty standards in several different areas of clothing, and then showing you how you can wear things modestly but including dozens of full color pictures of Kristen, Bethany, and their younger sisters modeling their fashionably modest outfits. In the end, you are left with a powerful challenge to honor God in your wardrobe choices, but you are reminded that you can still dress fashionably in the process. 

​I love how theological sound and straightforward this book is. Bethany and Kristen pack a lot of great truth into this eBook and this is one that I highly recommend.

​Millions of women and girls are searching for their identity. But unfortunately, most of them aren’t finding it. This is because without realizing it, they are letting the culture define their beauty, worth, and identity by elusive standards of happiness that can never achieve lasting fulfillment. These standards of happiness, such as independence from men, idealistic relationships, and illustrious careers, send many of us into vicious and unforgiving cycles of low self-esteem and unhealthy outlets for our emotions, with seemingly no way out. This is all happening because most women, even Christian women, don’t know how to answer a rather simple question:

​In their first book, Girl Defined, sisters Bethany Baird and Kristen Clark take us on an incredible journey that defines womanhood from a biblical perspective. They address the lies that our culture has fed us of a femininity that is counterfeit. They clarify them by describing the three pillars of counterfeit femininity and pointing out what they have done to distort God’s design for our gender. Then, they bring us back to the way and reason that God’s designed the female gender in the book of Genesis, reveal the three pillars of biblical femininity, and give practical ways to live them out, no matter what phrase of life you are currently in. Single or married, with or without kids, teen or young adult, they cover all of it in an honest and relevant way. It all brings home the powerful truth that we cannot find our value through any of the methods prescribed by our culture. The only place where we will truly find our value and purpose is in Jesus. All of this is done with relevant examples and stories from the lives of the authors that bring home many powerful truths. The balance of perspective from a women who is married (Kristen) and one who isn’t married (Bethany) helps this book to be appealing and relevant to women in all phases of life. The discussion guide and questions after each chapter also helps the readers see how to practically apply what they read. 

​​In a time when God’s standards for both manhood and womanhood are constantly being called into question, this book’s explanation, understanding, and application of biblical womanhood is needed now more than ever. Women of all ages can gain something from reading and applying the truth in its pages. This book is now available from most major book distributors, so get your copy today!
