Teresa,
I started reading your book, God is Enthralled by Your Beauty, and it inspired me to write this.
-Kristen Eggers

Dare to Stare
Some ask Mirror on the wall,
“Who’s the fairest one of all?”
Some trust all that's seen with eyes.
They’ll believe any disguise.

But listen close, don’t dismiss,
Or, I fear, the point you’ll miss.
Look intently and you’ll see,
That which you were meant to be.

Gaze deeply; don’t turn away.
Seek the truth; it won’t betray.
Close those eyes, let go, unwind.
The true you, you’re sure to find.


Inspiring others by God's Holy Spirit is the exceedingly, abundantly, above all we could ever hope, ask or imagine, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT IS WITHIN US...to GOD be ALL THE GLORY (Ephesians 3:20-21)!

God Is Enthralled By Your Beauty: Introduction

Author: Teresa Criswell
Copyright 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011
The power of beauty seems to have disappeared and all that remains is the cloud of smoke that has sadly settled with perversion. The world’s definition of beauty mutilates and destroys, as shallowness attempts to replace the true definition of depth.

This is a charge to all women, from the young to the elderly: we must know and realize the power of beauty and purity. The power of purity is not to be confused with timidity or fear; but beauty and purity of the Lord avails powerful strength; revealing who He is. We have tremendous responsibility to stand in our rightful place as daughters of the King. We must break down the walls of seclusion, insecurity, shame and masculinity disguised as feminism. We are not called to be men; we are called to be women of grace, executing righteousness.

Imagine for a moment, looking into the loving eyes of God. Wow! To be overwhelmingly surprised as you begin to see who you truly are! His beautiful princess, His beautiful daughter, adorned in His amazing love, forgiveness, mercy, peace, gentleness and faithfulness as precious jewels adorn the crown upon our heads. Realizing we are clothed in the finest linen the world has ever seen; the linen of His grace. Our eyes filled with purity and gentleness.

Instead, many women look into the deceptive eyes of the enemy; clothed in torn, wrinkled, heavy garments of ugliness. The heavy coat of self-hatred, unforgiveness, judgment, anxiousness and depression is worn as the eyes of many are sadly filled with despair and hopelessness.

My beloved sister I believe that Jesus pleads with each of us and says, “No more my beautiful princess, I have delivered you from the lies of the enemy.” In the Word of God the Lord desires “…To give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness…”—Isaiah 61:3.

When reading this book I believe you will find the journey of falling in love with the little girl you once knew and bring her forth to know her rightful place as a daughter of the King. We must allow other daughters, once and for all to see the destructive and deceptive tactics of the enemy. It is a necessary mandate that they experience the transformation of God who is and reveals restoration and truth.

As you read this book, I pray you will allow Him to rescue you in His mighty arms of love and strength. More so, I pray you will only receive from this book what the Lord would have you to receive.

Finally, my great prayer of hope is that you choose to experience what is readily available to you! God's mighty power and majesty to overwhelm you that you will know without a shadow of doubt that, “God is enthralled by your beauty.”

God Is Enthralled By Your Beauty

Yes! It is accomplished...I have started a blog exclusively for my self-published book:
God Is Enthralled By Your Beauty,
Finally Looking Into the Mirror He Sees You In.

Each chapter will be inserted by individual posts.

I pray that you find this book encouraging. However, I not only want you to go away with the temporal encouragement, but I also pray with great expectancy that this book will bring forth God's transforming power over your life. I pray that you will not only see but also experience the transformation that only God can reveal and give to us through the renewing of our minds by His Holy Spirit and His Truth revealed by the Word of God.

God Is Enthralled By Your Beauty is targeted towards women ages 18 to 35. However, no matter the age, we must know God's transforming love over us. This eternal love that is more vast than vast itself will begin to change how we see ourselves and others. The Love of God, Who Is Love is the Love we must be expressing through us and upon others. We cannot utilize our own perception of love, for it will run out, disappoint and is full of conditions. By the powerful love of God, we must reach for the mandate to celebrate not only ourselves, but also celebrating the gifts of God within one another.

Sister, Daughters, Mothers and Friends, we must enpower one another by building each other up, not only with mere words; but with the powerful Word that does not return void by God's amazing declarations of His purpose and destiny over each of us.

May we remember:
God does not only possess love; He is Love.
God does not only possess beauty; He is Beauty.
God does not only possess faith; He is Faith.
God does not only possess mercy; He is Mercy.
God does not only possess justice; He is Justice.
God does not only possess righteousness; He is Righteousness.
God does not only possess the attribute of Truth; He is Truth.
We could go on for eternity...however, Who He is must be revealed through each of us.

Are we ready to reveal to the world of women who they truly are?
Let's go, let's proclaim and let us see each other set free because of our greatest Hero, Jesus Christ! While we see the crowns of freedom upon each other, the world will experience healing like never imagined, because instead of focusing on self, we have altered our focus to Whom the focus belongs to...Jesus Christ our Rescuing Savior and Lord!
