I want to start by saying this book is meant for Christian mothers who have a daughter. I have read other reviews of this book and was a little worried that I would not like it. Some of the style of writing from the author does come across as condescending. I do not think the author meant for it too but the book does get a little preachy at times. If you are not a Christian I do not think her advice will be something you will want to hear, hence the other bad reviews!I gave this book 4/5 stars. Although the style of writing was a bit in your face at times if you could read past that there was quite a bit of good information to take away with from this book. The author's advice on how to protect your daughter from the influence of magazines and television was helpful. There were also great steps to get the two of you talking about subjects that might be hard to discuss. Overall it was a good book that I think all mothers should read.I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.
NOTE: I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.I must say that I found this book very helpful. It was full of God guided advice, Scripture verses and enlightening conclusions. I expected an instruction book, but found something much more valuable. It was not only a guide to mothers, it could very well serve as a guide to their daughters.I think that in the times we live, we need to open our eyes and actually look around to see how much the world affects us as people. We are born unique people, then we conform to society, to our peers, to others' expectations of us. And our uniqueness is quickly forgotten.But Vicki Courtney, through personal examples and national studies, can help open up our eyes. She writes about love and understanding, and keeping our ground no matter how difficult it may seem at times. Her advice is realistic and accomplishable through faith in God and Jesus Christ. By realizing what the Lord did for us, and keeping it in mind all through the day, we could truly become better attuned to the many ways He loves us and blesses us."Your Girl" is a keeper book for all mothers of today's age, who are concerned about their daughters growing up in a world where girls are considered toys, objects and visual stimulants for men. I sure am going to re-read it once I become a mother.
After raising two children and being a grandma to 4 God gave us guardianship of our 11 yr old great niece. This book was just what I needed to be reminded what I need to be teaching her.
Anyone looking for some Godly support in raising a daughter should read this. Highly recommend for anyone with a daughter!
