It has been a while since a book made me laugh out loud. And I don’t mean a little chuckle to myself. I mean an audible laugh that would make people turn their heads if I was reading it in a public place. He Numbered The Pores On My Face, by Scarlet Hiltibidal is that book. I originally wanted to review this book so that my daughter could read it. However, I found it to be an engaging and inspirational read with takeaways for myself as a grown woman.
The book is divided into three sections:
- Section 1: The Gospel Redefines Who You Were
- Section 2: The Gospel Redefines Who You Are
- Section 3: The Gospel Tells You Who You’ll Be
The teenage years are a prime time for people to be in search of their identities. Each section of this book is filled with examples from the Bible and the author’s own life. These stories illustrate why it is important to find our identities in the One who created us instead of trying to measure up to worldly standards. Hiltibidal is in her 30’s, but she recalls events from her teenage years with so much detail, it was as if they happened yesterday. He Numbered The Pores On My Face is a great read for teen girls and it can also spark some meaningful conversations between moms and daughters.
