About this ebook

Miss America 2007, Lauren Nelson, and award-winning TV news anchor Robin Marsh share a passion to encourage teen girls. In this relevant, engaging devotional they show the cell phone generation of girls why accepting God’s call is the best decision they’ll ever make.

Each devotion includes a question in teen lingo, God’s “text response” from Scripture, insightful reflections, and a daily spiritual app to help girls relate biblical wisdom to everyday needs as they explore:

• how to deal with the drama of other girls
• decisions about boys and sexual purity
• do’s and don’ts of social media
• the fun of living out a bold faith
• their identity and uniqueness in Christ

A cleverly presented, timely look at God’s help for the needs young women face today. Perfect for individual faith growth and as group discussion and study material.

Ratings and reviews

Robin Marsh and Lauren Nelson have co-written a devotional book for teenage girls that is sure to be used over and over again! “God, Girls, and Getting Connected” addresses everyday issues that teenage girls are facing in today’s society. Using the acronym of “girl,” this devotional book is split into four sections. The first section “God” focuses on getting to know God and what He desires for His daughters. “Identity” section is all about the individual and a few of the devotionals focus on personal struggles, choices and worrying. “Relationships” is the third section and this is such a vital part of a teenage girl’s world and the last section “Life” focuses on issues that teenage girls are faced with such as how far is too far in dating relationships, social networking, peer pressure and feeling lonely. As it is written in a conversational style, the readers will feel as if the authors are speaking straight to them, however not in a "preachy" or lecture tone that could push the reader away. I like the format of each devotional and the fact that they are short and to the point. Each devotional begins with a statement or a question from a teenage girl, the next is a “text message” (Bible verse), followed by a discussion of the topic and lastly an application that helps to apply the lesson to everyday life. With the busyness of everyday life this book is practical and will fit into a daily routine.

It is ok
