Easy to read and good insight. Plus, my girls loved the included recipes!
Great book! My daughter was excited to read it and so was I :) brings up important topics to discuss, that will make you both uncomfortable at times. But we want them as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves. I believe that's the goal of this book! They need to hear from us on these topics, first, not last- they will hear about them either way! So why not openly discuss them? Teen girls need us talking about the struggles and sins of youth.
This book came out just in time for my daughter to turn 13- going to lead a summer girls book club with her friends (13-18). This book is even helping me love the standard! Thank you Rachel and Canon+
Filled with scripture and practical application of God’s word regarding wise use of our time.
My daughters and I really enjoyed this book. Would highly recommend to any teens girls and young adults.
My husband bought this for me as a gift. It is lovely. An exceptional daily reminder of God’s word.
I am not single myself but have shared this and am reading through it with a friend. It has been so helpful in helping me to understand the plight of singles AND has helped reshape my friend's thoughts and emotions as well! Thank you!
My girls (13 & 16) and I watched the webinar together and read the book, and I'm so glad! We talked about some important ideas we had never discussed before. Afterwards they were both asking me what we're going to read and talk about next. There are topics in this book I haven't heard other authors address. I especially love that Rachels places a high value on learning the domestic arts and creating a home while ALSO teaching our girls to be confident young women who aren't afraid to say no or take charge of an awkward situation. If you have teenage daughters, this is well worth your time!
My son (he’s two) and I love, love this book. I can’t get enough of the pictures, the illustrations are gorgeous! I love the detail put into each page. I notice new things every time I read it. It’s a feast to look at. The story is really fun and engaging, and teaches a good lesson in an exciting way.
My son loves this book, and so do I! Both the writing and the illustrating are lovely. It’s fun and cheerful and a relevant story for little ones (and grown ups, too!).
I loved the book and as a grandmother of 8, I wish I had read it when I was raising my three sons. Although my husband and I did a lot of things right, I think the reasons you provide behind the recommendations are true and subtle. It would have been reaffirming in some situations and instructive in others.
Gave it to my husband and our worship leader… They absolutely treasure the book
Excellent books. Engaging for all ages. Our 11 and 9 year old boys are soaking them up. We put them right up there with ‘Battles for Boys.’
Thank you cannon press! Please come out with more kids books that aren’t “kiddy!”
I cannot say that I’d agree with every statement in the book on its own, some things unsettled me. HOWEVER, if you listen to the webinars where Rachel elaborates (especially on the handsiness chapter) you’ll understand what she’s saying much better.
There is so much undeniable honesty and practicalness to the book. Not every chapter will be relatable to all of us women that read it but wouldn’t we all rather read of a scenario first before experiencing it? With biblical and practical foreknowledge?
Hope this review helps, awesome work Rachel.
My daughters and I have truly enjoyed the layout of the letters, which have led to great conversations as they process how to grow into who God has called them to be as young ladies in this world.
I have so appreciated the Biblical insight of a mom who has gone before me!
My girls are still 6 and 2, but since I've gained so much wisdom from Rachel's parenting books, I instantly bought this one to begin reading. It is so helpful even though we are not in the teenage years, and as a mom, has given me language to begin using pieces of even now with my 6 year old. I feel it helps me as a mom, and I plan to gift a copy of it to my teenage niece soon. Highly recommend!
