Christian and Chic: The Art of Living with Flair from the Christian Perspective - Paperback

by Julie Marcotte (Author)

What does Coco Chanel have in common with the wife of a noble character found in Proverbs 31? How does the lifestyle of the average French citizen line up with the guidelines for dress, manners, and dining found in Scripture? As Christians, should we eschew the pleasures of life, maintain a dour expression, and stamp out all color and fun? In Julie Marcotte's all-new book, Christian and Chic: The Art of Living with Flair from the Christian Perspective, a close examination compares the mysterious and well-put-together modern French woman with several women from the Bible as well as a few men, including Christ and his disciples. As a mother of three grown daughters, the author describes her search for a way to exemplify and raise her daughters with biblical principles while developing a sense of style and panache that is sometimes lacking inside the Christian community. Full of honest, firsthand, and often hilarious experiences in the country of her husband's French ancestry, the author illustrates how and why a follower of Christ can and should be both Christian and chic.
