Maybe I’m the only one in America who doesn’t recognize the name, Christa Black, but she knows how to punch you in the gut on the first page. God Loves Ugly and Love Makes Beautiful is raw, authentic, wild, and mixed up.
Christa Black is a singer and songwriter for celebrities like Jordan Sparks and Michael W. Smith. She grew up in a loving home as a pastor’s kid.
A man sexually molested her as a small child making being a “PK’s” life tough (pastor’s kid). Religion seemed more about the rules than...more

This is one of the best books I’ve read in a while.
But yet I’m hesitant to recommend it to everyone.
Christa Black is a Christian musician whose life path included a childhood sexual assault, alcohol and drug abuse, and an eating disorder. And she not only survived, but she lived to tell about it.
That we need to respect. And I do because so much of what she discusses I totally identify with, as probably the better part of the female population does as well.

In this brave memoir, singer-songwriter Christa Black shares her journey from destructive perfectionism to thriving and resting in God's love. While I haven't dealt with an eating disorder, I really connected with Christa's struggles, and have learned similar lessons in my own life (though probably not as thoroughly). Her perspective helped me see a lot of things in a new light, and I commend her for her honesty. I want to go through the book again and do some of the journaling/application at th...more
Fantastic book about living in freedom and loving yourself because God loves you. Great insight shared by Christa Black through her story of growing up with poor image of herself and making bad choices. Great reflection questions at the end of each chapter as well.
Awesome and so inspiring! Can't put it in words but Christa's story can definately relate to anyone!
This book is a must read for those who struggle with their identity and self-worth. Christa is so open and transparent. Many times during various chapters it seemed like I was reading a page out of my own journal. She also gives practical and thought-provoking questions and actions steps at the end of each chapter for self-reflection. This book helped to alter some major patterns of negative thinking and gave me tools to work through my issues. For those that are willing to read through God Love...more
Anyone who has ever dealt with any kind of self-esteem issue needs to read this book. Just do it.
Oh my goodness. This book met me on an incredible journey to finding worth, beauty, and love. The message within the pages of "God Loves Ugly" is absolutely VITAL for all women. I want to give this book to every female that I know. A definite must read.
Enlightening journey about a young woman's struggle with food and her life growing up as a preacher's kid (pk). Really eye opening...
So inspiring! Very heartwarming!
