GoodBookStall Review:
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 youth workers can give this book with confidence.
The author writes to her readers:
I realize that you don't know me so it might feel a bit weird me saying this 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, feel inspired to explore your abilities and dreams, be encouraged to protect your heart and still keep it open to God and others, and appreciate your life and the mysteries in the world around you.
May these words of wisdom help you know that you are lovely, lovable, unique, full of potential and, above all, Cherished.
