When You Are Born Ugly

We live in a culture that has set a very high standard for beauty. But what if you are not beautiful? What if you are short, wear thick glasses, or don’t fit into designer jeans? What if everyone around you turns the other way when you walk by? What if you are plain — or just plain ugly? Meet Leah, a woman in the Bible who had to deal with more than being unattractive — she also had to contend with her beautiful sister. And to make matters worse, both sisters were married to the same man! How does God see us? Is He concerned with our outward appearance? Or does He only look at who we are on the inside? This booklet, based on a sermon by Jamie Buckingham, is about Leah and how she came to know God’s love, despite her less-than-perfect appearance.
