MY REVIEW:
This is a great book for teen or pre-teen girls but, as an adult woman, I loved it myself and actually found so much of it helpful for some of the struggles I face.
This book is, first of all, so pretty! I love all the special touches inside like you see above. Flowers, and butterflies adorn the pages and make it a visual joy. Better than that, though, the information inside is really a joy for the soul.
Each day there is a little story to be read and then a section called "Becoming Brave" (see the picture above). There might be a question or a little challenge in this section for you to do. If it's a question, the author has provided lines inside the box to answer, which I loved. Some pages had a "Getting To Know You" section and this was really great as it lets the reader discover how they feel about things. This section has a multiple choice answer area for you to chose what fits closely with how you feel. I think this is really helpful for a young girl.
Finally, at the end of each story is the "Courageous Call" box where there is a prayer to the Lord regarding whatever was discussed in that mini chapter. This lets the girl know that God is with her no matter what she may be facing.
There are different sections in this book dealing with things that girls (and even women!) might deal with like - My Worth - I Can Be Me - or I Can Know He is Always With Me. Each section was such a delight to read and such an encouragement! I love how Lynn always points to God as our friend and that He loves us and created us to be who we are.
I really loved this book and highly recommend it. Putting this into the hands of a pre-teen or teen girl would help them to see how much God values them as they are. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
