Good book, may take parent review
20 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book for my nine year old daughter to help encourage her with daily devotional time. I read through the book first as this was my first time giving my daughter a "study guide" and I wanted to make sure the information was "my daughter" appropriate. While the book is well written, easy to read, interesting, etc. I did have a few concerns with some of the situations presented. The author does a great job of bringing the reader back to what God says about a subject. She uses a fictional character "Emma" to talk about what is going on "her" life and then what she should/does do etc. My only problem was that some of the situations weren't appropriate for my daughter. One of them was about honoring parents and it mentioned that "Emma's" friends had called their parents things like lame, old fashioned, etc. Silly as it sounds, I didn't want to put those ideas in my daughters head. The chapter clearly pointed readers towards honoring their parents, but I just didn't like the example given. Another one was hanging out with the "cool kids". My daughter has yet to make a big distinction between cool kids and non cool kids. The book gave a situation where the character had to make a choice to either go with the cool kids or hang out with her regular friends. I just didn't like that either. Also, the word "tween" is often used. I cannot stand this tween identity that the media is giving kids and was dissapointed to see it used here. A good book overall, just some minor irritations that I whited out and wrote over.

Excellent Bible Study
28 July 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I decided to do this Bible Study with my daughters and have been very impressed. Ms. George connects with tweens through her writing and discusses everyday situations via mini devotions in a matter-of-fact way that engages young readers. Her questions are based on Scripture and are thought-provoking. My daughters have learned much from this study and have grown in their faith as a result. I would suggest that moms sit down with their daughters and do this study together, if possible. It would also be a neat study for a grandmother to do with her granddaughter, or even as a group Bible study with several girls.
I would highly recommend this book as a great resource and one that tweens will find themselves referring to time and time again.
