Carla Gasser

The Before & After!

Do you feel sort of adrift, are you looking for a new beauty regime, or are you finding it hard to exist in your environment? You need a makeover, but not the common every day sort that involves clothes, hair stylists, or beauty routines. This one starts somewhere else.

Make yourself over by using the nine fruits of the spirit. Take the time to really apply them to your life, and watch what a difference you will see in yourself! Filter them through the lens of your SOUL--the author's acronym that is. In the book, Carla uses SOUL to stand for search, observe, use and lean--and she will tell you how to use each one.

Be ready to roll your sleeves up, have a Bible ready, and follow the instructions in this volume. You are embarking on a beauty cleanse for your soul, and it will take some elbow grease. But when finished, you will have gained tranquility and contentment in your life. In fact, you will have activated in yourself the nine fruits of the spirit found in Galatians 5: 22-23--love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Wouldn’t you like to be like this woman which the author describes in her book:

“Have you ever met a woman with a sparkle in her eyes and a brilliant glow on her face that does not come from a costly and elaborate skin care regime? Upon closer examination, you may see crow’s-feet, age spots, and even a dull skin tone (Lord have mercy!). But no one notices. Why? Because she brings brightness to every one she meets with genuine goodness that shines deep from within her soul.”

You, too, can be like that, and experience a makeover from the inside out by following the author's instructions! Colorful illustrations add to the beauty of this hard-bound volume. I recommend this 5-star book to everyone who wants a fresh re-do!

"The Beauty of an Uncluttered Soul: Allowing God's Spirit to Transform You from the Inside Out" is a lovely book, filled with gentle water-colored botanical illustrations that are a peaceful pleasure to view. Author Carla Gasser advises how to "cleanse, tidy, detoxify, purge, and simplify' on a deeper spiritual level. Her own realization that the reasons for cleaning, decluttering, and maintaining her home were principles that could be applied to her inner, spiritual home as well led her to search Biblical Scriptures for direction and guidance. By allowing the Heavenly Spirit to enter her life through prayer and meditation, she discovered nine attributes attributed to a transformed life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. In her own life, the author states that following this spiritual path has led her to "an inner sense of peace, purpose, and contentment". In times of widespread uncertainty when doubt and spiritual confusion threaten to overwhelm, finding your own calm center can give you back your joy in everyday living. This beautiful book is a blessing to keep and a blessing to give.
