“The modern world tends to misunderstand the body in two ways: reducing it to a mere instrument devoid of meaning on the one hand, or alternatively, as that reality which encompasses a person’s entire identity. Through an engaging witness, Shannon Whitmore shares her own struggle with body image and exposes the errors of these attitudes through the refreshing light of Scripture and Catholic wisdom. Presenting the body as a tremendous gift designed to express love and enable communion, Whitmore urges women to recognize and revere its life-giving potential and to resist the lies of the devil that tell her she is unworthy of love.”
