Jenna Lucado and her father, Max, discuss issues (self-esteem, dating, modesty, abusive relationships, eating disorders, divorce) and how what girls need is a good relationship with their father.
Because not every girl has this, she discusses how the father-child relationship (especially the father-daughter one) is meant to mimic the relationship that God has with each of us.

When I picked up Redefining Beautiful I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I mean, afterall, it's a teen book and yet I am an adult woman. But being the wife of a youth pastor I figured it would be a beneficial read. What I didn't expect was for my own heart to be touched by several of Jenna's thoughts that she shared in such understandable ways.
I enjoyed the way she took our self image as a girl/woman and connected it to our relationship with our father. It is something you hear More...

I grabbed this book hearing that it was good for high school girls to read and wanted to see if it could be something I could recommend to my girls. While the writing is completely targeted for the high school age, and sometimes cheesy because of that, I also was surprised to find that a lot of the book hit right at home for me.
Lucado touches on how we redefine our beauty it how we look to God as a father figure, an area I have always struggled with. Lucado writes, "A lot of our More...

What girl doesn’t want to be the prettiest girl in school? Or have a high confidence level? Well here’s reality, we’re not and we don’t. However this book does have many ways for your confidence to grow and for you to be a beautiful person on the inside.

The typical church-going teen-aged girl will probably not read this one her own, though she would follow it in a group situation, I think. The non-churched girl is even less likely to read it. It is, however, a good jumping-off place for the mother of tween girls. If Mom can get this into her own head, she can transmit it to her daughter. She has the best shot at it, IMO. Otherwise, as I say, I see its greatest usefulness being in a group situation.

This was a really good book! I would definately suggest that teen girls read this! A lot of it was talking about how girls need to view themselves how God views them. Beautiful. A lot of times girls look, and tell themselves that they are ugly, and not as pretty as the girl that is walking by. But God sees us as beautiful, and what He thinks is waaay more important that what we think...
