This was a really great handbook. It was only about 100 pages and super biblical and doctrinally sound!

Some good bits in it, but lacking pastoral depth. Dodds seems to paint a more black and white picture than people really are, particularly with comments on LGBTQ people in the final chapter. That bit for me ruined the rest as I didn't feel I could pass this book on to any of my young people.

I have come to respect Abigail Dodds so much over the last couple of years. She reminds me of Elisabeth Elliot, another beloved saint, with her forthright following of our God and His ways. I'm very thankful to have been directed to her voice for these times!

This is a short and easy little book to read and would serve as excellent conversation starters for groups of young women! In some contexts, this might be a great resource for girls as young as 8th-9th grade; in my own more -- gratefully! -- protected and childlike community, I think this would really serve our young women from the 16-18 age range, knowing that it will not provide exhaustive information, but would be a fabulous launching pad for conversations between older women and emerging women.

Really good little book on an important subject--particularly for young minds. This book serves as a student version of Dodd's, (A)Typical Woman, and she has succeed here again. I read this book and reviewed it for Books At a Glance.

Super helpful little booklet. Will definitely be a go-to recommendation for pre-teen/teen girls to read and discuss!
