what people are saying about unsqueezed... “This book is brilliant! Since beginning to work with eating disorders I've read a lot of books out there on women's relationships with food and their bodies. I found Unsqueezed, honest, insightful, challenging and laugh-out-loud funny. It is now at the top of my list for books on food and body image issues. Margot writes with authenticity, heart and a thoroughly biblical understanding or how God designed us to understand the human body. I highly recommend it." Travis Stewart, Ministry Relations, Remuda Ranch Treatment Center    "What are bodies for? With wit and humor Margot Starbuck answers this question and shows us our distorted thinking in regard to our female bodies. With gentle prodding she shows us how to see our bodies through God's eyes. She helps us laugh at ourselves without ever laughing at us.  Give this book to your girlfriends and you will start a conversation about the beauty dilemma that plagues Christian women." Lilian Calles Barger, author of Eve’s Revenge   “Occasionally, someone comes along and challenges you to think—really think—about what it means to follow Jesus in this body you’ve been given.  Unsqueezed did what a book really ought to do:  it made me think.  This book is the best sort of ‘ouch’.”  Paula Rinehart, author of Sex and the Soul of a Woman and What’s He Really Thinking? “Unsqueeze from the skinny jeans and enjoy the humor, stories, and practical tips Margot has squeezed into these pages instead! This is a book for real women who have real thighs, real pimples, and real issues with accepting the bodies God gave them. Margot assures and re-assures us of God’s amazing love for us just the way we are. Couch pants, here I come!” Amy Nappa, Group Publishing Women’s Ministries, author of Thirsty “Margot Starbuck is one unique cookie. And her counterculture message says you are too so ditch the ‘culture’s insane enslavement to physical beauty’ and get on with getting okay with yourself, just the way you are. In a quirky, often funny, uber real and refreshing altogether un-homogenized voice she lays out an argument against valuing bodies for how they appear. Unsqueezed is unsettling. Even if you disagree on some of her points, she provokes thought. The writing also surprises-- in a book on body image she manages to address social justice. Fantastic. Cheers to Margot.” Lindsey O’Connor, author of Moms Who Changed the World “In a time of rising cultural backlash against unrealistic standards of beauty and value, Margot Starbuck is a fun, fresh voice. And a true woman.” Constance Rhodes, CEO, FINDINGbalance, Co-Founder & Director, The True Campaign (www.truecampaign.org) “Margot Starbuck finally says what all of us are thinking and, with God obviously whispering in her ear, tells us what to do with it.  A must-read for any woman of any age who has ever wrestled with her body image. And who hasn’t!” Nancy Rue, author of The Skin You’re In, Body Talk, and Everybody Tells Me To Be Myself, But I Don’t Know Who I Am “Margot Starbuck navigates the complexities of self-image, appearance, our bodies, and beauty with humor, insight, and wisdom. Get ready to be both entertained and moved. You will be laughing out loud one moment, then suddenly challenged with biblical truths that will transform your thinking and inspire change. Reading Unsqueezed is a truly liberating experience.” Ann Capper, RD, CDN, Nutrition Editor, FINDINGbalance.com, Author of Big Thighs Tight Jeans: Should Jan Go on a Diet?   "Margot Starbuck reminds us of what's most important, being who God made us to be.  That's a truth any young adult, woman or man struggling with body image will never forget." Michelle LaRowe Conover, 2004 INA Nanny of the Year, Author Nanny to the Rescue! series, Working Mom's 411, A Mom's Ultimate Book of Lists http://www.truecampaign.org/shapeimage_9_link_0
