Fashioned By Faith by Rachel Carter


Book Description:


Everyone knows that we live in a “skin-is-in” society, heavily driven by media and immodesty. So how does a young Christian woman reconcile a fashionable wardrobe with maintaining her integrity?

Written by international professional model Rachel Lee Carter, Fashioned by Faith offers a cutting-edge approach to the concept of beauty with a Biblical foundation that will attract moms and daughters alike. Readers will love hearing about Carter’s exciting story as she leads them on an engaging study that touches on a huge felt need for young women: real beauty has nothing to do with looks.

Offering three valuable perspectives—teen boys, a professional model, and God’s Word—Carter explains her standards of modesty in a way that will make readers acquire a specific understanding of the author’s wardrobe choices and the impact those choices can make on others. Readers will also learn to season their self-image with daily quiet time with God. A tour of Scripture will reveal the value of heart issues like modesty and why they’re important to God.

Never compromising her sense of style or her faith, every young lady can discover what it means to be Fashioned by Faith. Moms and girls will love this book!


When I received this book I was thinking that I would read through it and see what it was like, write a review, then give it to my younger sister to read as she is having issues with modesty lately. However, once I started reading it and answering the questions, I realized that it is not just a book for those who are dealing with how to dress modestly in our skin-is-in society, but also as a reminder and an encouragement for those of us who already dress modestly. I have been greatly impacted by the book and have noticed even some small things in my wardrobe and how I dress that I am working on changing. I love how Rachel shares her story and how she has continued to dress moestly even in the midst of being a model for world renowned fashion designers. Having the guys tell their point of view and what think of modesty definitely added to the lessons in each chapter and it encourages girls to dress more modestly despite media and social pressure because guys actually prefer a girl who dresses modestly and appropriately. Absolutely loved this book!!! Recommending it to a lot of friends and family friends!!!
