Lillian Fallon has written a new book through Ascension Press called: Theology of Style: Expressing the Unique and Unrepeatable You. Lillian discusses in her book the importance of seeing God at work through the personal styles we convey. The book is generally directed toward women and women’s styles. She states that “every outfit we choose holds the power to express our unique personality and identify as cherished children of God”.
The method that Lillian chooses to speak to her audience in the book is through anecdotes and humorous stories all related to dressing, attire, and fashion and the importance of embracing who God made each of us to be through our physical appearance and choices. Insights come from St. Pope John Paul II related to his work with Theology of the Body. The book is highly recommended as educational, interesting and fun to read. To purchase, click here.
