Fashioned by Faith Giveaway with Rachel Lee Carter
Published May 3, 2011I wanted to let you know about a fantastic new release by a wonderful women I met through our Proverbs 31 She Speaks conference. And one of you will win an autographed copy of it!!
The short informal bio on her is that she is a sweet mom who loves Jesus, has a passion for teens and who was kind to my teenage daughter.
Now, here is her professional bio:
Rachel Lee Carter is an alumnus of Word of Life Bible Institute in Schroon Lake, NY. There, she studied Bible Survey and Systematic Theology with an emphasis on missions and youth ministry.
After hearing God’s call on her life as an international Christian model, she now uses this platform to share the love of Jesus Christ within the fashion industry as a professional conference speaker to mothers, daughters, tween, youth and teen groups throughout the country.
As a professional model of 20 years, and modesty advocate, Rachel has traveled to over 30 countries.
Clientèle includes Cover Girl, Tommy Hilfiger, Perry Ellis, Wrangler, Arrow, Chico’s, Elle, Nicole Miller, Motorola, DKNY, Reebok, Microsoft, SAKS Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Macy’s, Bloomingdales and many others.
Rachel was also crowned Mrs. North Carolina United States in 2009. She resides in Conover, NC with her husband Daryl, and their sons, Jack and Jude. You can learn more about her at modelingchrist.com.
Rachel has just released a book with Thomas Neslon called Fashioned by Faith. It offers a cutting-edge approach to the concept of beauty with a Biblical foundation that will attract moms and daughters alike.
Everyone knows that we live in a “skin-is-in” society, heavily driven by media and immodesty. So how does a young Christian woman reconcile a fashionable wardrobe with maintaining her integrity?
Readers will love hearing about Carter’s exciting story as she leads them on an engaging study that touches on a huge felt need for young women: real beauty has nothing to do with looks.
Offering three valuable perspectives—teen boys, a professional model, and God’s Word—Carter explains her standards of modesty in a way that will make readers acquire a specific understanding of the author’s wardrobe choices and the impact those choices can make on others.
Readers will also learn to season their self-image with daily quiet time with God. A tour of Scripture will reveal the value of heart issues like modesty and why they’re important to God.
Never compromising her sense of style or her faith, every young lady can discover what it means to be Fashioned by Faith. Moms and girls will love this book!
Check it out! And if you want to catch a glimpse of her interview on the 700 Club, click here.
And be sure to leave a comment on this post to be entered to win a signed copy of Rachel’s book ! If time is tight, simply say, “I’m in!” Winner will be announced Monday. 
Blessings,

Thank you, Karen for all this info!
Hey Karen!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I will be at She Speaks again this year and hope I see you there! Thank you so much for the blessing of this sweet endorsement. God bless-hope to see you soon!
much love,
Rachel
I was just looking to see if I could get his book through our library system and was so disappointed that I couldn’t!!!! I am definitely going to have to read it! I am currently facilitating a JR. High Girls Bible Study and we just approached the subject of purity and we were talking quite a bit about modesty. This book would be great for some insight! Thanks for posting!
Hi Deb!
This would be a great study to do with your Jr. High girls! I works like a Bible study as well with the quiet time in the back along with study questions for groups at the end of every chapter. I hope this will open their eyes to the truth about modesty without making them feel it’s archaic. Best wishes!
I’m In!!! Thanks for the invite!

Hi Daphne! Hope that you will utilize this resource with your youth girls-the godly guys in your group will thank you! God bless, and let me know if I can help!

Rachel, you are an inspiration! Thank you for all you do to try to teach young girl that you dont have to show a ton of skin to be noticed. That beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
I would love a copy of Rachel’s book for my resources for my youth ministry. Rachel is fantastic. I’m so glad I have gotten the chance to meet her through my spiritual advisor. Rachel is so sweetly broken for the Lord and is doing a mighty work in His name.
Love
Cassandra

Rachel is a special lady who I had the pleasure of meeting last year when she was working on her book. It’s was a nice interview on 700 club. Praying she’ll be an influence in the lives of many young girls. I’d love a signed copy of her book. Thanks Karen.
I’m in. Thanks Karen for sharing your life and your faith. Love your blog!
This looks like a great resource for my daughter!
As a former pageant contestant myself, and having worked in the beauty industry I would LOOOOOOOVEEEEEE to see/hear/get a Christian perspective on all of it! I would love to share it with a bunch of the younger gals I know in these industries also…. Thanks for the opp!

I grew up and went to school with Rachel! She is a very talented woman and I am proud to know her! I would love a copy of her book also, if I do not win, I will be going out to buy it!!

I want in for chance to win a copy of her book as well..but if not..will be getting it anyway!!! Lots of love and support from your friends from school as you can tell….
I’ve known Rachel for a longtime and I’m very impressed to see how far she has come. She continues to impress me everyday. I’m deeply honored to know her and be able to call her a friend. I wish nothing but the best for her and her family, and praying that God continues to use her as He sees fit. I would use this book as an open door to family and friends.
I would love a copy of this book for the three teen girls in my household!
Iam in!!
Knew Rachel she used to go to my church 
I would totally love a copy of her book. She is a great example for young girls and women.
I’m in! I have two tween girls myself and would love to see the material in this book.
Ruth, this would be great for you to walk through this book with your girls–it can definitely get you both on the same “page” and create a special bond through an unlikely source: fashion!
I’m in! Sounds like a much needed book for our culture!
What a success Rachael! We are so proud of your accomplishment. We have watched the 700 Club segment and are half way through a pre-ordered copy of your book : -) Our 16 year old daughter listened to the segment and has already adopted the layering you mentioned.
God Bless!
I’m in
I would love a copy! Rachel is such an inspiration for teen girls my age and I’d love to see what she has to say about modesty!
i would LOVE to have a copy of this book! I have four young daughters, one approaching 13
and this is a must have for moms of teens! thanks!
I’m in…would love a copy I can pass along to all the teen girls I have the privilege of teaching! Thanks for being such a REAL role model! Blessings to you!
This is so timely! I’ve been discussing this very issue with a former student (youth group), who has taken the stance that being taught to dress modestly in youth group has led to her poor self esteem and body image today. She has somehow taken modesty to mean being ashamed of our bodies and that a woman’s body is “bad”. Would love to have some new insights to share with her.
Hi! I think this girl is just trying to “get out of” the responsibility to dress modestly. The truth is, girls who flaunt their bodies have a lower self-image than girls who don’t. I would definitely recommend her reading this. If she doesn’t budge, it’s a heart issue. But she will still be held accountable. Love her through this-their are some underlying issues here.
I mean “there” not “their” sorry!
I’m in… I posted the interview on my Facebook to get the word out! It was very moving and awesome!
Would love to have this book for my teen daughter and her friends!
I saw Rachel on the 700 Club and got so excited! I am going to school for fashion merchandising and design and plan to open a store in SE PA that carries modest, chic clothing for women and teens. As a Christian woman, age 39, with 2 young daughters, I have been trying to instill the things that Rachel is promoting to them, and it is just really empowering to know I am not the only Christian that wants to be a part of the fashion community.
I’m in!! I’m a volunteer in our youth department and one of the subjects we will be looking at with the girls is modesty! I saw your interview on the 700 club and went out today and bought the book to give to our youth pastor and his wife so I would love to win a copy of the book for myself!
I’m In!
Watched the 700 Club segment with my daughters. Would LOVE to win this book!
Thank you,
Nicole
I’m in!
I would love to have this book for myself and my daughter and all of my Sunday school girls!
Kristi,
This would be a great summer Bible study that you could do with your SS girls. You could even culminate with a sleepover, a fashion show or a shopping trip! Best wishes, and thanks for leading your girls to truth!
With two daughters, one turning 13 in June (and the other is 5, but loves to “copy” her big sister) – this would be an AWESOME book to have on hand for summer reading!!!
I know exactly who needs a copy of this book.
thanks for the blessings
I’m in! Thanks.
As a mom of 2 teen daughters, I am so interested in this resource! Thanks for the chance to win!
I am def in! I want to teach my baby girl the right self image we should have. Not what the world tells us.
I’m In!!! Thanks for the invite! blessings
I would like one!
I would love this book.
I’m in!!
I’m in! Thanks for making it that simple!
I’m in!!!
I’m in, too
thanks for sharing~
Just what I need to help continue to teach my daughter the virtue of modesty while capturing her attention with a model! Thanks for being a godly example!
Thank you! Yes, the model me is just the “hook” that God is using to capture the interest of these girls. I’m thankful for the opportunity and don’t take the responsibility lightly. Thanks for your encouragement.
It sounds like a wonderful book from listening to Rachel interviewed on KTIS radio. I would love for my two teenage daughters to read this book! I’m in!!
This would be a great book to have!!!
I’m in!!!
This looks like a good book I would like to read, then share with others.
I’m in!!
So timely!! As the mother of a 10-yr old girl and early teen boys, modesty is big on my radar. Even among Jesus girls this seems like such a big – yet undiscussed issue.
Thank you! I’m a mom of boys too-so we have a whole different approach to handling modesty. I think this will be a resource that you can use not only for your girl, but also to steer your boys from girls who dress immodestly and to learn the reasons behind why girls do.
blessings!
I have two teenage daughters and could use some help. I haven’t always been a Christian and made many mistakes as a teenager and young adult. I don’t want my daughters to make those same mistakes.
My heart is with you. I was that same teen that made those mistakes. I share them in the book so you don’t have to. Hopefully, they can learn from my mistakes. Blessings to you. Rachel
This sounds like a wonderful book that I would like to share with some teen girls in my life. I’m going to go to the website
This would be a great book to have for my daughter (she is 11) and I to read together. I think it is so important to teach our daughters about modesty and why they’re important to God. Thanks for this fabulous giveaway!!
With 2 tween girls and a 3rd coming up this book would be a great thing to read together with them. I’m in!!
As a mom of two girls ages 14 and 9, and two boys ages 13 and 11, teaching them about God’s version of modesty is a building block that impacts many decisions for their lives. The boys cringe when I talk about it, but later on they will understand and also look for a woman who follows after God.
I need this book. Life is beyond busy and every helping hand/suggestion is deeply valued.
Thank you.
I’m in! Thanks.
a mother of three, ages 20, 18 and 16…..I long ago gave up trying to be “super mom”. I just wanted to be the “right” mom for each individual child. When God finally got through my thick skull that I could not be the same mom to all three, I began to accept that they truly were 3 very different, very individual children. They have different needs and different love languages. One required short spurts of time, one required long periods of one-on-one time together, and the last required lots of hugs and kisses all throughout the day. I learned to pick my battles, like letting my daughter wear white glitter converse tennis shoes to the prom with her evening gown! God’s little “love” lessons helped make peace in my home!
Thanks for the comment about picking battles and being the best mom for each child! I will remember this each day as my boys grow.
My daughter is only 4 right now, but I am sure that this book will be just what we need one day.
Thanks for the oppurtunity!
Oh, just saw this on tv…..have 2 little girls ages 7 and 9 and this would be perfect timing for me to read this now
As the mother of 3 girls ages 9, 7, and 5, this book sounds like a valuable tool to use as they grow into young ladies. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I’m in!!
I have been wishing for Mary Poppins to come rescue me. I guess maybe I can be her if you help me
thanks, Jodi
Sounds like a great book! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I’m in! So excited!
I’m in! It sounds great!
Our hats are many as women. I am blessed to be surrounded by wonderful women in my life. With my husband unemployed for three years now and three teenage sons, I am living the what will we drink, what will we wear time, and God shows up. I am very thankful for Proverbs 31 Ministry. Thank you
How fitting this is for me this week with sooo mnay things on the calendar!!! With preschool graduation pics, Teacher Appreciation day at 2 schools, room mom for the preschool class, Mother’s Day Tea, Field Day, 2 Bible study groups, soccer, KY Derby party, visiting with friends this evening (fun!), oil change & transmission service, unplanned visit to the vet for our dog, moving and reconstructing a gigantic wooden playset for our boys…and did I mention homework every night, karate class for child #1 twice this week, and they still want food several times a day, clothes washed, grocery shopping, playing with kids, baths, reading at bedtime…and then there’s the husband who needs some quality time. Thank you so much for the reminder that I have to be God’s daughter FIRST!! All the other stuff will work itself out once I focus my life and daily heart on HIM! Those other things lose my utmost attention when I remember to put my Savior first.
I’m in!
I would love this book! What a wonderful idea! Why did it take so long?
I’m in, thanks!

Happy Mother’sDay!

I work with youth and it sounds like a great read for what the girls (and parents) are facing.
I’m In!!
I am a youth pastors wife and one of my passions is wanting teen girls to realize that their value is in Christ and not in boys or how the world sees them. I would love to have this book
I too am a Word of Life Bible Institute Alumus! 
Class of 99 
My granddaughter is graduating a year early to move away from a troubled home. She will be going to a community college and staying with my husband neice who has been mentoring her. This book would be a real help to her as she goes to college she knows the Lord and struggles to live for Him in the troubled world.

I happened to hear your interview on 106.9 one morning. I was very interested. I have a 4 year old daughter so I know I will be faced with this one day soon. However, in our church right now is a young lady that needs this book. I am very excited about reading it myself as well. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I was also excited to hear you are in Conover because I was raised in Newton. Thanks again.
