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.

No Time to be Dumb: Letters to Teenage Girls

Wonderful read

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.

Excellent resource for teens & moms!

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!

Great resource!

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!

My teenage daughter appreciates the ideas presented in this book. She is thinking of starting a book club with friends to discuss book. It’s encouraging and challenged girls to use their teenage years wisely. The recipes in the book are a bonus.
