An excellent book for all teens to read male and female. C. Claiborne

More than just another Teens awareness guide!

Girl In A Mirror goes beyond providing solutions to today's teenage girl on how to manage and conduct theirselves as young ladies. It provides the steps and tools needed for teenage girls to become positive, and productive God Fearing women. The solutions Ms.Critedon provides in her guide are writen and easily understood. The self explanatory lessons enclosed in this guide are powerful! The assignements do indeed provide solutions! This book has the power to change the mindset of teen girls everywhere. I am going to incorporate the excercises from this book into some of my mini lessons with my youngsters. I know they will benefit from the lessons tremendously. Great job Ms. Crittendon. I look forward to reading your future literary works. Adra Young Author of: The Everyday Living of Children & Teens Monologues

Only As Beautiful As Our Thoughts

Praises to Denise Crittendon for GIRL IN THE MIRROR! With only 72 pages, this little book packs a wealth of information for girls of any race. It is hard enough just being a teenager, growing up in these chaotic times when it seems the cards are stacked against them. GIRL IN THE MIRROR knocks down this wall, and gives teenage girls a fighting chance against the worst enemy imaginable, themselves. Chapter One, "You Thought Yourself Into It-You Can Think Yourself Out Of It," teaches how the mind is a powerful tool, and our thoughts whether positive or negative, create our own reality. This is a recurring theme throughout the book, offering activities in creative visualization, self love, affirmations, and the power of forgiveness. Crittendon teaches the importance of keeping a personal relationship with God as well, but does it in a way that is neither preachy nor judgmental. She encourages teenagers to speak with God in a manner comfortable to them, whether singing, rapping, whispering or just being quiet; because He is always listening. It is important to realize also, when problems arise and life seems crazy God is still there, He is just trying to get your attention. Problems are merely opportunities to do something different. Each chapter begins with a personal quote from a popular actor, sports figure or musician to which any teenager can relate. Additionally, at the end of each chapter several exercises are listed to further implement the lessons of self awareness. In fact, my own daughters, ages 15 and 11, have read this book and truly enjoyed it. It was not too complicated, the lessons were simple and straightforward, and the exercises really made them look inside themselves and think. I believe having a strong self love and self awareness can provide a weapon against the pitfalls plaguing so many teenage girls today, such as drugs, promiscuity, and pregnancy. All of our girls are precious diamonds who just need a little help to shine, and GIRL IN THE MIRROR is just what the doctor ordered.

Crittendon has provided a solid blueprint to save our girls!

This work is practical, simple, yet strong and rich in content. Girl in the Mirror provides the formula for self-empowerment that our teens need today. Let's face it; we can't always be there to shield them from the traps and challenges that they encounter. With this guide,they can help themselves and feel good about doing it. And that is invaluable! Get a copy for every teen girl that you care about. There is nothing more profound than giving the gift of self-esteem. My hat is off to the author.
