This devotional will help girls ages 8-12 apply biblical concepts to their daily lives. Each devotion is written and designed with today’s tween and her issues in mind. Using a Scripture as the theme, each devotion includes a modern-day story and several interactive exercises, including a To-Do list, a quiz, related Scriptures, and quotations that reinforce the lesson. Filled with whimsical and girl-centric art, this fun devotional will be hard for young girls to put down!

From the Back Cover:

Fighting your fears!
Feeling like you don’t measure up!
Dealing with gossip!

For Girls Only! Devotions talks about the issues you face. Many devotion books tell you what the Bible says; this one does that . . . and more! It also helps you live out what the Bible says. Each devotion includes a story about a real issue, a self-quiz for you to check out how you’re doing, some tips on living out the message, and quotes and Scriptures to reinforce the lesson. It’s a fun way to learn more about living out your faith in real life.

Your daughters will want to read these devotions!  I know mine look forward to the kid-friendly Illustrations, each devotional is 4 pages in length, and is easy to read and understand, plus an encouraging verse corresponds with each reading.

Each devotion also includes a Checkup Time, where girls can evaluate and express where they stand on each real-life issue that they just read about, by answering some questions based on a five point scale.

A Key helps them to see where they stand, and what they could work on a bit more.

In the Things to Do section, they are given easy, but important suggestions on how to improve and work on the issues addressed in the devotion.

Wrapping up the devotion, they are given Things to Remember, which touches on bible verses and quotes that correspond well to what they just read. It also puts it at a level, that they remember and actively associate with their daily lives.

I highly recommend this Devotional! It’s one of the better ones I’ve run across.
