After 15 years of youth ministry, I've finally found a book that specifically connects with young women. The content of 31 Girl is packed with powerful principles communicated in a fun, poetic, relevant, and practical way that girls will simply love. This book is immaculate in its glossy, Hollywood-style presentation, and I'm proud to have a copy of it on my bedside table.
Every youth ministry must invest in placing a copy of this revolutionary book in the hands of their young women.
Christine Caine - Director, Equip And Empower Ministries, Sydney, Australia.
Insightful, educational, and inspiring, 31 Girl is a remarkable work. The text is beautifully and clearly presented--the photographs and layout a knockout! 31 Girl will capture the hearts of young women, parents, and educators alike. The author understands the challenges female youth face today. In a society screaming for moral guidelines and answersthis book sets a joyful, clear path along which young women are given the choice to live noble and godly lives--two words I don't recall in my former "make love, not war" manifesto! 31 Girl--brave, beautiful, and bold. I give it 5 *****'s!
