It's hard for women to admit to each other that they've failed, or even that they may have shortcomings. They easily admit these things to themselves and then try relentlessly to improve themselves, but rarely will they let on to others the kind of personal struggles they are facing day to day. In this candid book, women share their heartfelt confessions about what keeps them from being the unique women that God made them to be-things like insecurity, jealousy, perfectionism, doing the right thing for the wrong reasons, and more. Every woman will find herself in these pages. Through the kind of unflinching honesty that women are often afraid to have with each other, readers will discover the value of sharing their struggles and faults with their community of sisters, friends, and mentors. In the end, they will find the wisdom to grow into that person that God had in mind all along.

From the Back Cover:

What if we all just told the truth about how we are feeling? Struggling with insecurity, jealousy, loneliness, preoccupation with your appearance, or fear of letting others know the real you? In Transparent, you'll discover the stories of fifteen women just like you. Ranging in age from twenty-six to sixty-one, these women take the risk to bare all about their struggles. As they remove their masks, some reveal that they measure their appearance by every other woman they meet. Others are desperate to break the constraints of their caretaker roles. Some fear they will never measure up to the standard of the ideal Christian woman and will not be accepted by God. Still others are lonely and just trying to cope. Sound familiar? Reading this book may be like looking in a mirror. Yet these stories provide glimpses of triumph and recognition that God is with you and working in you as you grow more comfortable with yourself. Transparent is not a book of packaged solutions but of dynamic possibilities. So no matter who you are or where you are in life, this book will provide hope and encouragement for the journey.
