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.

Solid advice for teens (and their moms)

Easy to read and good insight. Plus, my girls loved the included recipes!

Hot topis that need to be discussed

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.

Just what my girls needed!

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+

Great book!

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!

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.
