Reviews

[Rosie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book can be enjoyed by high school or college students. This book is similar to a teen magazine in the sense that there are articles on different topics (body image, perfectionism, relationships, etc.), quizzes, and words of advice from other girls. Many of these articles are centered around a specific Biblical truth that helps connect real life issues with what the Bible teaches. Throughout the book, it is clear the author wants girls to know that their worth and purpose comes from God, not by who the world says/thinks they are. It's an important message that young women need to hear.

(On a side note, some of the topics may seem a bit mature for younger teens. Parents or other adults may want to read these sections with their reader and use them as a way to start a discussion).
