At the age of eight, Jennifer Strickland entered the world of modeling, beginning a journey that took her to the runways of Milan.On the outside, she seemed to have it all – walking the runway for Giorgio Armani, commercials for companies like Mercedes Benz, worldwide attention, and all the glamour that comes with the fashion industry.But she quickly discovered that this world is not all glitter and gold …
Girl Perfect, is the haunting story of Jennifer's journey from fashion to faith. Within the book, you will get an inside look at the industry-and you will find a girl who struggled just as you do. The principles of true beauty she shares will shatter the illusion that beauty and success satisfy, leading you to the powerful, lasting knowledge of who you are in God's sight: his beloved daughter, handcrafted to reflect his glory to the world.
Although women come to hear Jen Strickland speak because of her breadth of experience in the modeling industry, she is more than a former international model. Jen is a grateful wife, blessed mom, inspired speaker, gifted teacher and natural writer, sent into the world with a message of God’s love.
Her journey to discovering the love of Christ was not a simple one; at times, it was full of glamour and prestige; at times, wracked with turmoil and despair. Her experiences in and out of the modeling industry led her down a crooked path that left her empty-handed and empty-hearted; but that was not her final destination!
God had a bigger plan: ultimately, He led her to Himself, and Jen’s journey landed her exactly where her heart has always longed to be, in the unconditionally loving and secure arms of her Father.
Today, Jen uses her gifts as a writer, speaker and teacher to share her story with women of all ages, inspiring them to know the real beauty that transformed her life from the inside out.
