I received a copy of A Girl's Guide to Life by Katie Meier from Thomas Nelson Publishers and I found it to be a great guide for young women. It touches on so many different subjects. From peer pressure to sex to even the subjects of text messaging and the internet! I especially love that the author really addresses how to be cautious when it comes to technology. So many young women use cell phones and the internet on a daily basis, so I think its really important to touch on this subject considering technology is a part of daily life for many people! It was nice to see this topic as well as many others. Such a broad range of topics. I feel like the tone of this book is definitely self respect and I absolutely love that because sometimes young women can forget how important that is with all the pressures of adolescence. Unfortunately it can be easy to lose sight of whats important: Self respect and respect for others. I really think that reading this guide will remind young women of what is important and empower them. This is a wonderful guide that I really believe in. I think it can definitely make a difference in a young woman's self esteem. This book has an incredible, powerful message. I wish there were more books like this one!

Great resource for young ladies. Every teenage girl needs this book!

Going online, Guys-What's up with Them, Religion: These are just three of the chapter titles that Katie Meier covers in her book A Girl's Guide to Life.With the use of stories, charts, Bible references Ms. Meier covers the many issues that a teenage girl will face. She gives advice on how to handle the situations in a contemporary way using things like family, church, the Bible and God as your guides. In a very inciteful chapter she breaks down the different religious beliefs that a young person will encounter and states the truth behind all of them so the teen can make an informed decision on ways to handle situations that they will unlikely be presented with.Unfortunately I can't quote the whole book for you here. You'll just have to take my word for it that it is a book every teenage girl and every parent of a teenage girl should have. I wish that I had had it when I was raising my older daughter, and you can be sure I will be using and recommending it to my nine year old when she reaches those delicate teenage years. (Hopefully sometime around 20 or 30.) This is a book every teenage girl should have in their library.Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their book review bloggers program.

A Girls Guide to Life is just about that. This book discusses many things that are concerns for a teen girl in her everyday life. From dealing with boys, peer pressure, friends, sex, and so on, this book covers it. It is like having a big sister wrap her arms around you and say Ive been there and done that and here is what you should do.I really wish I had this book back in my teen years. There is such an attack these days on young girls and this book helps these wonderful young women to find the balance and show them how to fight for themselves. Not only is it hard to be a teen girl today, its even harder to be a Christian teen girl. Katie Meier lists some common myths that teens believe and explains the realities of them. One example is Guys are just jerks. Ill just deal with their joking about my bodyher response is Guys are abusing your rights if they tease you about your body. I wish someone told me that when I was in school. This book is filled with them and with great advice that any teenage girl could benefit from. I thank Thomas Nelson for providing me with this complimentary book.

I am really looking forward to Kayla doing this book this year for school. When I got it in, I thumbed through the pages and was immediately drawn to all the topics it covers for girls. I think every teen girl should read this book. I wish I would have had it when I was a teenager. I could have had many answers to the questions I had.
