Hem: Dressing The Body And Not Addressing The Soul

For women in the church, there are a lot of rules about how to dress. For Wilhelmina, Shy, and Tiara, the guidelines were clear. Always wear stockings. Only wear closed-toed shoes. No pants, and make sure your skirt is at least mid-calf length. Blouses should be buttoned to the neck and tucked neatly, and makeup isn't needed, except maybe a little lip gloss. And finally, make sure hair is up neatly in a bun, not hanging -- church check complete. HEM: Dressing the Body and Not Addressing the Soul is a story about very different women in very different stages of life, all dealing with deep hurts. While some focus on the strict teachings of religion and how a woman in church ought to dress, others struggle with how to apply this teaching to their lives that have been flipped upside down. Traumatic circumstances bring them all together, and they eventually realize that no attire can reveal or hide the condition of their hearts from God. Join author Olivia Yve on the journey to look beyond the rules of religion and church to the truth of what it means to have a relationship with God. Inspired to write this story for all those who have focused on performance and not the condition of the heart and those who have been turned off from faith due to church society, Olivia speaks to anyone who is done with religious politics and wants to truly experience life with the Lord.
