Being a Girl Who Leads: Becoming a Leader by Following Christ

by Shannon Kubiak Primicerio

You've got to stand for something in a world that will fall for anything.
Are you afraid to be different? How often do you follow everyone else just so they don't think you're weird or an outsider? What happens when you find yourself at the big end-of-the-year party and you're challenged to take a swig of beer or make out with the cute guy headed toward you? At what point do you walk away? A big part of being a Christian who leads is standing against something you know is wrong. You don't have to go with the flow all the time.
To be a leader, you've got to be different. Your peers will observe you and the choices you make, and if you make that decision to go against the social order and stand up for what you believe in, others will notice. If other girls follow your example, there could be an incredible revolution across our generation. It takes only one to make a change. You can be a leader. Are you willing to be different?

Have you ever wanted to step up and be a leader in a world that is constantly tearing you down? Honestly I've changed who I am just to fit in and not be a outcast. I've Well, this book shares Shannon story on how she tried to do just that.

Wow, this book was so bad. I lead high school girls in a Bible study and we decided to read though this together. Talk about out of touch. All the girls felt like the author was condemning them, or others. She was not relevant to reality. And, she had some very firm opinions that were not Biblical - and that we didn't agree with. Obviously, she made some good points (don't have sex, get drunk, swear, etc). But we don't need to buy a book to learn that!

I did it for a bible study when I was younger (14/15) and read it again when I was 18. It only deepened its roots in its truth. It was a wake up call to me, that I have been called to do more than "go with the flow" and compromise in areas that are more important than they seem. It didn't seem condemning to me, but more of an attention-grabbing message to live a life worthy of the calling of the Lord.

A book that encourages girls to lead, when others may follow. TO stand up for what they believe in, even when no one else is. To do what Jesus would do, even when others aren't!
An excellent book for girls of all ages!
