Do you love to look Beautiful and feel beautiful but worry that you aren't looking at yourself as a whole ? Are you turning into the vain beast from "Beauty and The Beast" ? Are you the female version of Kyle Kingsbury from Alex Flinn's "Beastly" ?

Debora Coty, in her book, More Beauty, Less Beast, reaches into every area of your life to allow the Lord access and transform you into more of a beauty and less of a beast. Debora is transparent in her book to show you her own life, worts and all, and how God is changing her every day she allows Him to. She doesn’t say it’s painless, but it’s worth every second of your life.

This book came along for me to review at a pretty good time. Since January, I've really been working hard on my appearance. Which makes it sound like I had some sort of self-confidence breakdown, although that's not exactly the case. I've always had a pretty healthy self esteem regarding my looks. I'd like to be thinner (along with pretty much the rest of everyone I know), but mostly I just want to be stronger and healthier. So anyway, I jumped at the chance to review this one, because it seemed...more
There are so many expectations for women today. From looks to demeanor, women are supposed to be many different people all wrapped up in one package. How do we balance everything? Debora Coty uses her faith and wisdom to wrap up some timely advice in a humorous package. Using scripture and anecdotes, Debora helps to point out the inner and outer beauty in all of us. She is able to help show how we can become too focused to all the wrong things and ignore the most important things in our lives.

I've moved away from reading self-help type books, but when this one came up for review, it sounded fun. And it really is fun. I don't know that I'd even call it a self-help book, although it is focused on helping women control the destructive inner part of us that is so frustrating. I don't know of any woman who doesn't have an inner ogre as Debora Coty calls it. Whether it's fed by low self-esteem, guilt, over scheduling or simply life's trials, there is something that breaks through when we l...more
This is one of those book that I really, really wanted to like – I mean who doesn’t want to get their life in better shape and be more Christ-like? I’m sure this book relates to some women out there and I know the author means well, however this book just didn’t resonate with me. I’m not a latest fashion kind of girl – give me a denim skirt, t-shirt, Crocs and a pony tail holder and I’m good to go, no make-up, no jewlery. Maybe the very first chapter should have been a loud bell sounding when th...more
As a woman who is quickly approaching the magical age of 40, I was quite pleased to read a book written by a woman who passed the 50-year-old mark and lived to tell about it! What makes this book even better is that the author does not hide behind the masks that so many Christian authors like to wear. Debora Coty is a real woman who enjoys fashion, chocolate, and enjoying girl talk. And yet the truth of her message is not lost.

Debora M. Coty in her new book, “More Beauty, Less Beast” published by Barbour Publishing, Inc. gives advice to women on Transforming Your Inner Ogre.
From the back cover: Is your self-esteem “soul”ed out? Are you tempted by the Dark Side? (Talkin’ chocolate here, girlfriend!) Maybe it’s time for a healthy dose of truth gift-wrapped in humor.
With her own brand of offbeat wit and near-wisdom, inspirational humorist Debora Coty addresses heart needs of women struggling to tame that out-of-control i...more

This has to be the best self esteem builder I have come across in a long time. I have had the most fun reading this book. Each time I picked up the book it was like visiting with my best friend.
There are many bible verses shared to uplift and inspire you. Some are so right on that they will make you roll over laughing. For instance the very first chapter the verse reads: "Like a gold ring in a pigs snout is a beautiful face on an empty head" Proverbs 11:22

I really enjoyed this book and read it in only 1 day, it was a very easy read. I laughed out loud (LOL) a lot while I was reading it and can see some writing on the wall, as they say. Everything in the book is right on track and would make an excellent discussion book for a ladies group, book club or group of friends. I can see myself referring to over and over in the future. I'm not sure why we as women seem to beat ourselves up so much and not see that what's on the inside of us is much more i...more
More Beauty Less Beast is a must read! Filled with helpful advice it is a perfect gift for any woman from 18 to 80! The author, Debora Coty, writes in a very open and fun manner.
You will learn so much from reading this helpful book. The pages are filled with interesting topics like friendship between women, forgiving others, remembering to not judge the outward appearance of another and even taking the time to know yourself better.

This is a funny and cute advice book. It is divided into 4 sections: Outer Beauty, Inner Beauty, Undergarments by Fruit of the Spirit (Not the Loom!), and Beautifying My World.
The author shares her struggles as she ages with beauty both outer and inner, dealing with other people, friendship, love and the Lord. It is funny and inspiring and an enjoyable read.
I received this book free to review from Litfuse.

More Beauty, Less Beast is a fun, humorous devotional book! There are 34 devotionals, and I'm amazed at the HUGE lesson each one offers in the midst of such humor! They're each very short, so perfect for grabbing a lesson here and there. I read a couple of them while standing by the stove.
This is not a devotional I would recommend to everyone! I did laugh and learn throughout the pages, but there are some things to dislike about the writing style. I cringed every time the author called The Lord,...more

We all have that inner beast inside. Sometimes she screams loudly, sometimes just a faint whisper. But she is there; ready to bark when it’s time.
