Review of True Beauty From Vision Forum

by Randy Pope

This overview of True Beauty is the first in a series, the series will review each message from the True Beauty father daughter retreat.

True Beauty is a series of messages from the 2008 Vision Forum Fathers and Daughters discipleship retreat. In the spirit of the ministry of Vision Forum Doug Phillips, Geoff Botkin and Scott Brown present a generational view of father daughter relationships. Using the multi generational model as the big vision back drop these speakers outline true beauty in healthy father daughter relationship, true feminine beauty, the Proverbs 31 woman, transitioning from beautiful girlhood to noble womanhood (by Anna Sophia and Elizabeth Botkin) and preparing daughters for marriage. This series extends far beyond just teaching girls about modest dress.

True Beauty highlights the Genesis chapter 1 dominion-oriented perspective, where a father is called to protect, provide for, and lead his daughters to be kingdom oriented, building their relationship with Jesus Christ. Mr. Phillips, Mr. Botkin, and Mr. Brown train fathers and their daughters how to develop strong women who are contented to live modest lifestyles in the spirit of true beauty. A kingdom oriented father recognizes that his influence can be felt through to the third and fourth generation of his family and beyond by teaching true Biblical beauty.

Through training his daughters to understand true beauty and strong womanhood a father can affect a Godly change in society for generations to come. Young girls learn to accept their fathers leadership and learn to use the father daughter relationship to train for their relationship with their future husbands.

If you already have a long range view for affecting society for the kingdom of God or you are interested in learning how to implement this multi generational plan of action the lucid presentation and depth of the training in True Beauty will set you on a straight path in your father daughter relationship.
