Rachel Jankovic wants terrible teenage daughters.

Not a wasting-her-time-in-petty-squabbles, doomscrolling, dumb television shows, eating disorders, and foolish crushes kind of terrible.

But a different kind of terrible: to be women who are genuine threats to the enemies of God, “fair as the moon . . . and terrible as an army with banners” (Song 6:10). She is not easily controlled by flattery; her joy is in the Lord. She is growing from a girl you love into a woman you admire. 

In this book Rachel covers the topics you would expect, like Modesty and Homemaking and Boys. But Rachel also speaks directly to awkward questions such as Handsiness and Pornography. There’s even a chapter on how to deal with self-righteous church ladies.

Young women have all the time in the world for good things, but they really just don’t have time to be dumb.

The best of What Have You...for teens!

THIS BOOK.

Felt like some of the best “What Have You” podcast episodes condensed into teen-appropriate pep talks.

It’s especially timely for teenage ladies (the target audience), but it’s also timely for any women who need the encouragement to “stop thinking that their emotions are their most attractive feature,” quit envying others on social media, feast daily on God’s word, repent quickly, say no to drama, thank God for the gifts and personality He gave them, and to live as dangerous women “who pose an actual threat to the enemies of God.”

And though “Aunt Lizzie” is always frank, she is never anything but kind.

Loved it.

A+++

I’m in my late 30s. raising littles (so: no teenage daughters here) and I still gleaned so much from this this book. I devoured it in just a few days; I enjoy any content that Rachel produces.

Much needed

I enjoy that Rachel goes over sensitive topics. I like the snippets of each topic and the letter format. This is a much needed book in today's society.

This book is necessary and helpful.

Rachel’s no nonsense and take no prisoners approach is refreshing in this cultural climate. My daughters and I are out in the Aleutian Chain, Alaska, and there aren’t many faithful churches here. They’re planning to give copies of the book to their friends and try to get a discussion going. Please somebody do one for boys!

Mom of 4 Teenage Girls says Thank You!

As a mom of 5 daughters, 4 of them teenagers, I'm always grateful for new perspectives to continue the conversation with my girls. There were some hard, sensitive topics covered in this book, but they were handled appropriately. I've already passed it along to my 17yo, and the others are waiting in line. Looking forward to many discussions!

Daughter wasn’t impressed

I got this for my 17-year-old and she thought the book was just “okay.” She didn’t feel it was geared toward her as a homeschooled teen solid in her faith. She said it would be better for a struggling public schooler.
