Finding Beauty in Authenticity
After hundreds of honest conversations with women from around the world, Susan J. Sohn has come to understand the pressure women feel to maintain false, glamorised portrayals of themselves. Shame, guilt, and the burden of Keeping up with the Jones' is blinding women from seeing themselves as God does.
Susan dares to begin a dialogue that matters—one that addresses the unique challenges twenty-first-century women face. True You applies her insight and encourages you to:
- Reject the harmful lies society tells you and the lies you’ve told yourself.
- Connect and celebrate with women on the same journey to authenticity.
- Embrace pain and vulnerability as you learn to walk in truth.
- Get out of your own way and allow freedom to become reality.
- Know who you are in Christ.
Once we allow ourselves to be seen, known, and loved—just as we are—we become free to be who God created us to be. Find the true you and lead a life of authenticity.
A Few Endorsements

I am really proud of my friend, Susan Sohn. We bonded many years ago when she and Philip had taken the leap from her treasured daily life to attend Bible college on the other side of the world. True You is truly her. As one who has held faithful to her passion to gather others and help them give voice to their pain inside, she has done this with great respect and dignity. She is not writing as one who appeals to you as an expert, but as one who is doing the hard work of digging deep. And no matter what surfaces, she deals with it in the safety of God's profound and abiding love. The many people she interviewed to see this book come about with a robustness of truth is a true testament to the tenacity in which she has gone after this finished product and a true testament to the willingness she displays to tell real stories from real people all to bring real help to as many people as she can.

I have known Susan Sohn for most of my adult life, and she has consistently though out of the box and challenged paradigms. She's kind and passionate, and I have no doubt the words in True You will impact a lot of people. Additionally, Susan helped me convince my wife to marry me. It's cool to see her make the shift from matchmaking to author!

True You is the call to action every woman needs to hear: Your time is now. You are more than enough. You don't belong on the sidelines. Make a choice to gather with people who celebrate you, not tolerate you. Susan Sohn, through her compelling storytelling, genuinely gives us the courage to face the truth of our lives, to dig deep, and discover a rich inner life. True You is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read!
