I'm excited about Uncommon Beauty. I have been meditating on the seven qualities of a beautiful woman for several years. There are many qualities that exemplify beauty, but over time, I have chosen the seven attributes that I believe make a woman beautiful.
It was a blessing for me to exemplify each quality by the lives of women from history, literature, and the Bible. I was challenged and encouraged by so many women who lived passionately, wisely, and selflessly.
The cover of Uncommon Beauty has a lovely dried rose which in its own unique way is beautiful. But a dried rose also means that it is very special and will always be kept because of the joy it brings. So as you read about these seven qualities may they become very meaningful to you, may they encourage you to become more beautiful, and may they bring you joy.
Everywhere we look, it is the "100 Most Beautiful" that are honored and publicized. Inner beauty has taken a back seat to outward appearance. While physical attributes can rarely be altered or modified, inner beauty can be cultivated. Bestselling author Cynthia Heald has chosen seven qualities that make a woman beautiful. In order to make these attributes real and applicable, Cynthia has chosen key women from history, literature, the Bible, and our society to illustrate each quality. These women can be considered "ordinary" women--women with whom other women could readily identify with and who could be easily emulated. For it is her desire that the lives of these women will inspire anyone, no matter how young or old, to say, "I want to develop these qualities in my life--I want to be in the process of becoming a beautiful woman."
