Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Clothes occupy more than closet space--they take up mental space too. We regularly face uncomfortable waistbands, dressing for big moments, and managing kids' outgrown clothes. And as Christians, we have deeper questions: How much time and money should we spend? For parents and ministry leaders, how much "clothes-policing" is appropriate? Modesty matters, but are clothes only about covering up? Does God really care about what we wear--and should we? Is the whole idea superficial? What is happening under the surface when we cry in a fitting room, panic over wearing the wrong thing, or feel like we have nothing to wear while staring at a packed closet? Ultimately, how do we honor God, ourselves, and others with our clothing? Does the Bible only offer rigid rules around clothes, or does it have something broader to say--something that might shape how we think about getting dressed?

Fortunately, yes, the Bible's narrative offers powerful hope and meaningful help. When we root ourselves in Scripture's big story regarding clothing, getting dressed becomes more than a daily task--it can be a place of truth, joy, and worship of the God who lovingly covers us.

In But What Do I Wear?, beloved (and hilarious!) Bible teacher Caroline Saunders zooms out from the rigid rules and common tropes around clothing and instead traces the larger themes of clothing and covering throughout Scripture, mixing in some humorous and heartfelt stories along the way. As she walks from Genesis to Revelation--from fig leaves to righteous robes--she helps women discover this bigger story and approach clothing with biblical clarity, practical confidence, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be "clothed in Christ."
