Publisher Summary
Award-winning author Debora Coty's newest book More Beauty, Less Beast brings humor and lightheartedness to the issues all women relate to in heavier moments. With wit and empathy, Coty addresses common body issues, our obsession with aging, and what God might have to say about it, all by helping readers laugh at her own story and share in the lessons she learned. With refreshing insight, she shows us a different perspective of how biblical, godly characters face their circumstances.
Each chapter is an entertaining and enlightening read and concludes with more serious questions for us to ask ourselves - to cement the lessons Coty brings home. More Beauty, Less Beast is about experiencing greater healing, joy, peace and beauty in life - both within and without.
"True beauty has nothing to do with dress size," says Coty. "I want readers to learn how to increase their confidence by conquering guilt, achieving personal goals, overcoming worry, and reinventing themselves through hope."
With the wit of Erma Bombeck and the wisdom of Dear Abby, Coty weaves a practical handbook into a fun, easy read. Patsy Clairmont calls Debora "delightful...invigorating". Readers living in a culture steeped in worldly values will find More Beauty, Less Beast a valuable guide as they face struggles common to us all.

More Beauty Less Beast is a must read! Filled with helpful advice it is a perfect gift for any woman from 18 to 80! The author, Debora Coty, writes in a very open and fun manner.
You will learn so much from reading this helpful book. The pages are filled with interesting topics like friendship between women, forgiving others, remembering to not judge the outward appearance of another and even taking the time to know yourself better.
Each topic discussed is related to learning how to accept who you are in Christ instead of comparing yourself to others. As we concentrate on Christ and put Him first, our priorities come in line with what He wants us to be.
I read through this book in one evening, as I could not wait to get to the next chapter and learn more. The authors’ sense of humor really makes this book fun to read. You will relate to many of her stories and examples. Reading this book will help you grow closer to the Lord!
Mrs. Coty kept me laughing throughout this book!
This book is hilarious! Prior to being contacted by Barbour Publishing to review this book, I was not familiar with Ms. Coty. Now I will be keeping an eye out for her titles! If you’re looking for a fun read or a gift for a favorite girlfriend, look no further! I am quite sure both of you will love it!
This book is for any woman who needs a little humor in her life and desires to feel beautiful. Ms. Coty used amazing quotes and scripture to breathe life into the book. She used God as the back bone, and her humorous writing to tickle your funny bone :-) The chapters were short; so if I needed to have a quick uplift of my spirit I could. Well written and beautifully poignant with a touch of humor made me enjoy this book thoroughly.
