Character Makeover

Katie Brazelton and Shelley Leith structure this forty-day devotional around eight character traits — humility, confidence, courage, self-control, patience, contentment, generosity, and perseverance — each approached through Scripture, prayer, journaling prompts, and life-coaching questions. The combination of biblical grounding and practical coaching tools is the book's real strength, and the day-by-day format makes it genuinely usable for busy women rather than sitting on a shelf. Endorsed by sixty prominent Christian women including Liz Curtis Higgs and Ruth Graham, and rated 4.5 stars across 29 reviews on Christianbook.com. The honest caveat is that this is thoroughly and explicitly evangelical in content — Scripture and prayer appear on virtually every page, making it inaccessible to secular readers. Also aimed primarily at women. For the right audience, though, it's a well-built, purposeful guide.
