Customer Reviews

much needed book!

I thank Vickie Courtney for writing a book that every mother of a tween or teen girl ought to read. It is full of godly advise on how to stear our daughters through the maze of growing up amid this post-Christian era of easy sex, immorality, and immodesty. It stresses that our daughter are God's girls, and that we are the caretakers of His Gift while under our care. Many Scriptures are used to back up her points, and much wise advise is given. I ordered 10 of this book to lend to moms of my girl students!

Thank you, Vicki Courtney!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Vicki Courtney. When I started reading this book, I told my husband that someone has finally written a book on raising godly daughters that is exactly what I would have written if I were a writer (which I'm not). This book is very well written; it's humorous and chocked full of scripture to back up everything discussed in the book. It's easy to read and very straightforward. I want to send this book to everyone I know who has a daughter. I'm so glad to see other moms feel the same way about the media, clothing, appearances, relationship, etc. May this remind Christian parents that their daughter is not their own, but God's, and that we are held to a higher standard than the world's standard. This is a definite read for all moms w/daughters.

Finally...A Real and Present Help!

My "Your Girl" is approaching those tween years and is noticing that she is being raised differently than most of her friends - Christian and non-Christian alike. While reading this book - it seemed God offered me several teaching moments that went right along with the chapter I was reading. I was able to read portions of the book to her and she got to see that she is truly not the only one being raised with these values and protective, preventative rules. This is a MUST READ for any Mother, Aunt, or Grandma... anyone who is in ministry to young girls... anyone who is in CONTACT with young girls. This confirmed to my husband and I that we are raising our daughter right - to be Godly in an ungodly world! I am sure that God is well pleased with Vicki Courtney and her writings to parents and daughters alike! I only wish we lived closer to a Yada Yada Conference! I highly recomment this book! You - and your daughter - will greatly benefit for years and years (and generations) to come!

Finally! I needed this book years ago!!

I love this book! I bought it at the author's Yada Yada event for teen girls and read it in a week's time. I highlighted, dog-eared pages and am now getting a group of moms of daughters together for a book club. Each chapter ends with questions so it's perfect for group discussion. I loved the approach to modesty and read it outloud to my daughter. The chapter on girl politics was fabulous and right on! I loved the abundance of scripture, stories, and light humor. It is a book I will read and re-read.
