This devotional will help girls ages 8-12 apply biblical concepts to their daily lives. Each devotion is written and designed with today's tween and her issues in mind. Using a Scripture as the theme, each devotion includes a modern-day story and several interactive exercises, including a To-Do list, a quiz, related Scriptures, and quotations that reinforce the lesson. Filled with whimsical and girl-centric art, this fun devotional will be hard for young girls to put down!

For Girls Only! is a devotional book that will not only grab a girls attention but grab her heart, too. It has two months worth of materials for young girls to read, apply, and dig into.
Each day has a devotional story based on a few verses. Then it's followed by a "Check-up Time", "Things To Do", and "Things To Remember". Relevant topics are addressed in an easy-to-understand format for 8-12 year old girls.
My only caution is that the book could be slightly too old for the younger end of the suggested age range, (8-12), depending on their maturity level and social settings.
Why not give a girl in your life a book that is good for them and very cool, too?!
As moms and grandmas, we desire to see our girls have a relationship with God, and we know that part of that starts with a daily quiet time. Whether your daughter is just now, trying to develop that daily quiet time, or has been doing it for a couple of years now, For Girls Only! Devotions will be a valuable asset to her spiritual walk. I highly reccomend this book!
Good if you're looking for a change from daily bible reading notes. Uses good illustrations of girls' behaviour. My 9yo has enjoyed it. Scripture use is sample verses rather than passage study.
