 Perfect for any mom & daughter who want to live for God. June 19, 2001
105 out of 110 found this review helpful
This book, although worded in early 1900's-language, provides timeless guidelines for living a life that is pleasing to God. It brings young ladies out of the world back into Biblical principles and lifestyle. It has practical advice and makes you think about how you present yourself to the world, and how you represent Christ, and how you ARE the bride of Christ. I am a 14-year-old girl who really, really enjoyed this thought-provoking book. I plan to make my little sisters, future daughters and future granddaughters read it. Too many mothers today have been contaminated by the world and pass that on to their daughters, not realizing they are cheating their daughters out of living a life of modesty, of chastity, of purity, and of godly womanhood. If you are a mother, you would do very well to read this book, pray about it, then read it with your daughter and pray some more! If used correctly and with the reading of Scripture and the companion book, Beautiful Girlhood could change your life and the way you view your womanhood. "Being a woman doesn't change the kind of Christian I am, but being a Christian changes the kind of woman I am." Elisabeth Elliot (paraphrased-can't remember exact words! :)

I have a daughter in the throes of adolescence and have found that reading this charming book together is a wonderful way to strengthen the mother-daughter bonds. The short chapters encourage and inspire young girls to grow into lovely young women. It is deservedly a best selling title among home schoolers.

This is a wonderful book. I love it! I have read it many times.
Yes, I can see some of the ways other girls might think that this book seems old, but the thing is girls today are not focused on Jesus, and becoming who He wants them to be. This book helps girls develope Godly character.
I cannot see how obedience,truthfulness,and sincerity could be thought to not be based in the Bible.
I am holding the book right now, it talks about how we should want what God wants for us, how we should be modest if not for our own sake then for the sake of pure minded boys, it talks of many other important things, it is a great book!
This is a beautiful book and I highly recomend it!
The best book for adolescent girls out there! December 1, 1999

This book is soooooo good! I love reading it so I will grow up like God would want me to. This book is gripping. I could not put it down! I hope more girls will read it and be totally turned around. The book tells you how to be honest, be true to friends, be kind and considerate to your family, and so much more! There is even a whole chapter on guys! I recommend this book to ANY girl!
This is the sweetest book. Grab your daughter + some tea. January 11, 1999

My twelve year old is thoroughly enjoying our times together with this book. I recommend it to every Mother and daughter for special times together, building virtue, wisdom, and a sweet relationship. The chapters are short. The author wrote with all the beauty and charm she is calling the reader to. You will surely be blessed through this book.
