 Wonderful Insight!

| Famous people often seem so perfect and unreachable. This book illustrates their human side. It also shows where Mandisa's music is coming from. It is a true testimony to the power of God. |

Book Review: Idoleyes: My New Perspective On Faith, Fat & Fame (Tyndale House, 2007) by Mandisa
Enter the world of Mandisa, and see what it takes to be an overweight woman who becomes an international American Idol sensation.
Through Idoleyes, Mandisa Hundley recalls her life from unknown back-up singer to becoming the most recognized American Idol pop sensation. Her new perspective of "Faith, Fat, and Fame" are expressed through honest retrospection about her youth in California, a rape she suffered, her acceptance of Christ, and the climb to television fame.
Describing herself as a "foodaholic," Mandisa recognized during early auditions of American Idol that she did not represent "...the complete package - the perfect look, sound, style, and showmanship." Later, Mandisa endured stinging comments from Simon Cowell regarding her size, heard by 30 million viewers. Shocking both Simon and the American Idol crew, Mandisa, as a Christian witness, forgave Simon.
Mandisa accounts for her dieting problems - pointing out the beginning of her food issues, and acknowledges how and why they worsened. Working at overcoming her food addiction, her message is one of health. She reminds the reader that we should not look at the outside of ourselves for self-worth, but rather for value from within.
Mandisa states, "I am a living witness that God can do immeasurably more than we could ever ask or imagine." Idoleyes is Mandisa's testimony of how she breaks free of an addiction by trusting in God. Her road hasn't been easy, but she says that God is faithful. Idoleyes provides encouragement and hope for those struggling with faith and discipline. Mandisa's story is a lesson for us all.

| I really enjoyed reading this book! When I grow up I want to be like Mandisa. She's a deeply spiritual woman that has surrendered all to her Lord. I struggle so much with surrender and just seeing another woman's perspective was so inspiring. I also am dealing with issues regarding my weight and her straight talk about her struggles was so uplifting. Just truth that you can fall and get back up again. I feel like a new believer all over again after reading this. Thanks Mandisa for sharing your life with us! |
