Hey ladies,
I just finished reading Daughters of the King:Finding Victory Through Your God-Given Personal Style by Gail M. Hayes, Ph.D for the 2nd time and must say it's a must read for women!

Highly recommended! Has anyone else read it?

Taken from Amazon.com:
From Publishers Weekly

Nearly everything about Hayes's book—built on the premise that she can discern a woman's personality, spiritual gifts, work style and areas for growth by what style of clothing she wears—is questionable. Based on answers to survey questions, Hayes assigns readers to six different "image types," including Jaunty Esprit ("down-to-earth and casual"), Elegant Flamboyant ("a charismatic presence" able to assume authority) and "Sensual Exotic" ("sensuous spirit" with strong organizational skills). Chapters summarize how women of each type live, worship, work, dress and interact with family. Small bits of advice are included, and several fashion-specific paragraphs appear nearly verbatim in each chapter. Curiously, two or three biblical characters are profiled as "sisters" belonging to each image type, but there's often little justification for characterizations built on a scrap of a Bible verse and an active imagination. Much of each chapter focuses on clothing—how each type tends to dress and how women could improve their appearance. But the fashion advice is as shaky as the book's premise, geared more to older women who can't be bothered with following trends. (To wit: shoulder pads are always in style for the Elegant Flamboyant, and the Creative Poetic can wear pistachio green with salmon pink.) The book fails to live up to its premise and offers little of spiritual or stylistic value. (May 11)

Product Description

Is casual comfort your main goal in dressing? Or do hats, capes, scarves and large jewelry sing your image song? Do order, structure and classic, conservative lines serve as your fashion theme? Or do glamour, sequins and brilliant colors make your spirit sing? Do lace, cameo jewelry and soft elegance speak your language? Or does dressing according to your mood reflect your identity? Whatever your style, after reading the book Daughters of the King, you will know that you are a lovely masterpiece made in the image of God.
