In this gutsy and intimate book, Rachel Gardner tackles head-on the issues facing teenage girls.
In this gutsy and intimate book, Rachel Gardner tackles head-on the issues facing teenage girls: self-image, the pull of the in-crowd, puberty, boys, sex, regrets and godly ambition. Credible yet shot through with biblical wisdom, parents and youthworkers can give this book with confidence.
To her readers, she writes:
I realize that you don't know me so it might feel a bit weird me saying that.
But it's true. I have written this book because I want to let you in on a bit of a secret; you are precious and your life is a gift to you.
It's a secret because few of us know it and fewer actually believe it.
I hope you will:
May these words of wisdom help you know that you are lovely, lovable, unique, full of potential and, above all, cherished.

A well-written book, with a not so well thought out meaning. Please be careful before you give this book to young girls as some of the content is for this day and age, damaging. It tries to tell girls they are worthy, whilst simultaneously making them feel like sex objects and impure if they do not fit the perfect Christian girl stereotype. If you do choose to read, keep your own opinions as important x
I ordered this book in a bulk of 10 to read with a Girls’ Brigade Group of young teenagers - we are using it like a book club and they each have a copy and a journal. It has been very successful so far and has inspired a lot of great chats, questions and sharing.
