Product Description
Nancy Leigh DeMoss challenges Christians to ask themselves tough questions: Who decides what I will wear, and why? What message does my clothing communicate? And, how can I reflect the glory of God in my wardrobe? Biblical, practical and motivating, "The Look" challenges women (young or older), parents, and teens to discover the Truth about clothing and modesty, and to make choices based on God's eternal perspective.

Where has this been? It is so well stated! September 12, 2008
This is a great book for students, parents and teachers. It challenges us to look at the way we dress. It helps us to examine our heart attitude. It will help unify the family and create in us the desire to please others for the right reasons.

This book opened my eyes by revealing the true purpose of clothing and it taught me how a Christian woman (that is, a woman who has a relationship with Jesus Christ) is supposed to select her wardrobe. It may be a short book, but it was most powerful, in my opinion.

This booklet, is a wonderful balance of Bible verses, questions, common sense and wisdom. Nancy asks questions such as, "where does this top draw attention to?" I found that really helful in my own freeig journey to Biblical modesty. I also enjoyed Nancy's straight forward approach, you can tell she prayed and read the Bible and sought wise counsel when writing this book. Enjoy discussing this in a Girl's Bible study or on your own.

The Korah rebellion in Moses' day began right after the Lord told His people they must begin wearing tassles to remind them to be holy (to help protect them from suffering as they had previously). How to dress is considered a non-issue by many today, or, if mentioned, brings forth the same "Who do you think YOU are?" response as Korah and his followers. But Psalm 119:4 is still part of the Bible, not to mention 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Peter 3.
Our home church newsletter contained this review of The Look, along with DeMoss' companion CD series entitled Modesty, written by a 14 year old girl:
This set challenged us and provided new insight.
Nancy uses Biblical and practical principles to answer tough questions like, "What does my clothing communicate?" and "Does modesty mean dressing in an outdated, dumpy, and unattractive way?" She reminds us that we are citizens of another kingdom, bought with the blood of Christ. "What we wear and how we look is a picture of what we believe." Nancy emphasizes that God's biggest concern is not about our clothing, but about our relationship with Him. Are we seeking to honor Jesus in everything? Our goal, as Christian women, should be to think, act, and dress to please God and reflect His glory.
Because of such a review from a teenager, I plan to buy this book for my own growing daughters, as they face the pressures of the world and the skimpy choices at clothing racks. Who knows? Good thinking about this topic may help raise up some Christian fashion designers to help us all in this area. This book should help us take our thoughts about dress captive to the obedience of Christ, who cares for us so much.
