About this item
Read by the author.
In A Crown that Lasts, former Miss Universe and Miss South Africa Demi Tebow confesses the danger of tying our identities to our accomplishments. Discover the truth of who you were created to be and how to use your platform, no matter how big or small, for eternal impact.
On this earth, a crown is what separates victors from the rest of the competitors, but the goal of creating a life worth living is not to gain a trophy, get a prize, or keep the crown. Our lives are not meant to be about being number one or making our own names known. While walking you through the journey of her evolving confidence—from basing her identity on temporary labels and her own efforts, to discovering the rock-solid security of anchoring her dreams in her Maker—Demi weaves her story together with the insights she's learned along the way.
A Crown that Lasts will show you how to
- Relate to the discomfort, confusion, and doubt that arises when you base your confidence on external things,
- Discover God-confidence when your plans take unexpected detours,
- Know what do when planted in unknown territory,
- Use your story to grow an eternal impact, and
- Stay grounded in the truth of who you are in Christ.
The purpose of our lives is to love and serve God and others. Demi shows how you can be encouraged to focus not just on your aspirations, but on your greater purpose and leave behind a footprint of significance, not just success.

For someone who hasn't extensively studied scripture and has only gone to church occasionally throughout their life, Demi has a remarkable ability to explain scripture in a way that feels just like chatting with your best friends. She recaps each chapter and invites you to engage in the content by asking a few questions that are thought-provoking and help you apply what she has learned to help better your own life. The plant theme for each chapter was a delightful touch that added cohesion to the book.
I recommend this book to anyone who might be a little lost in finding their purpose and God-confidence.
This book is uplifting. It's both a peek into Demi's life as a Christian woman and a how-to be a better Christian woman. We all need help as we get caught up in the stuff of this world and her book was a great reminder to keep our focus on Him. I can see a young woman's group using this as a study as there are questions and challenges after sections of the book.
