The New Christian Charm Course (student)

1 star. I re-read this book for research purposes. The first time I read it, I was in a teen girl's Sunday school class and was harmed by it. This time around, I read the original version that I read in the early 2000's and this updated version, whilst also referencing the teacher's manual.

While this updated version removed some of the most harmful pages (the calorie counting chart, body measurements page, etc.), and did add some more diverse illustrations, I found that the underlying insidious tone was still present and that this version was even more triggering for disordered eating. I would not recommend it.

I have a full review on this book available here, as it was just too long to share in its entirety on Goodreads.
