Lessons I Have Unlearned by Florence Gildea is a powerful book about learning to be the you that God created. It is about focusing on what God says about you and not listening to the world. This book will aid you in your Christian walk.
The style is very personable. It feels like advice from a dear friend rather than reading a book.
The media exerts pressure on us all to look a certain way and to wear certain clothes and then we will be happy.

His Son died that we might have life and have it to the full.
