Description
About the Book
Through practical ideas, biblical truths, and no nonsense honesty, women's ministry leader and mother shows readers how to love their own bodies and be confident as they teach their daughters to do the same.Book Synopsis
What we say to our daughters lasts a moment. What we show our daughters lasts a lifetime.
No matter how much we try to tell our daughters that they are beautiful and lovable as they are, words are not enough. And if we're honest, we don't always set the best example. How can we build up confident girls if we struggle to be confident ourselves?
With deep compassion, Maria Furlough delves into the root causes of our insecurity, offers biblical guidance for seeing ourselves as God sees us, and shows how to model our newfound confidence to our impressionable daughters. Speaking as a daughter, a youth leader, and a mother, Furlough shares her own struggles and triumphs, as well as expert advice from a pediatrician, a nutritionist, a Christian counselor, and more.
"A life preserver for any mom raising daughters in an image-obsessed world."--from the foreword by Jennifer Dukes Lee, mom of two teenage daughters and author of It's All Under Control, The Happiness Dare, and Love Idol
"Confident Moms, Confident Daughters is the book my mom and I needed thirty years ago. Thank you, Maria, for re-mothering the insecure little girl part of this mom's heart and for giving hope that it is never too late to live free in Christ!"--Cheri Gregory, coauthor of Exhale: Lose Who You're Not, Love Who You Are, Live Your One Life Well

This is such a great book for mom's to read and share with their daughters what they glean from the book. This book covers so much information from appearance and body image to nutrition to spiritual and physical fitness. It encourages moms to be like Jesus. She includes verses and ends each chapter with a confident mom challenge and confident daughter questions as well as a prayer. She reminds us that our daughters need words of encouragement and positive reinforcement of what they are good at, what they excel in, and how her God given gifts are being demonstrated in her life.
One thing I found really helpful in this book was how to talk with our daughters. How to take a conversation that could come out negatively and give it a positive twist. How to get to the real issues at hand, what they are really thinking and maybe why they are thinking that way.
Honestly I could go on and on about the book and whats so great about it, but you really should read it for yourself. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for a book that helps you connect with your daughter and the world she lives in.
I was blessed to receive a copy of this book courtesy of Revell. I was not asked or required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.

As I read this book, I was sorry that I didn't have it when my own daughter was young. She is now grown and a self-assured woman, but she didn't always feel that way about herself. Confident Moms, Confident Daughters is filled with wonderful advice that mothers can share with their daughters. Author Maria Furlough uses personal experiences, Bible scripture, and reliable research to show how we can improve our daughters' self-esteem and free them from insecurity. Each of the twelve chapters have a Confident Moms Challenge--- Confident Daughters Discussion Questions---and A Mom's Prayer. There is also a Confident Moms, Confident Daughters Manifesto at the end of this book that is based on Proverbs 31 and it has so many beautiful thoughts but the ending verses are especially powerful and best of all, they apply to ALL of us!
I am beautiful because I know that physical beauty fades and you won't catch me putting my value in looks.
I am beautiful because I trust the Lord above all else.
I am beautiful because I am God's daughter.
We mothers may not be able to leave leave our daughters a huge inheritance when we die, but we can offer them a priceless gift. We have lived through the different stages that they are now experiencing, we have felt the same emotions, and it is through overcoming our own insecurity that we can now help them conquer their own. We can assure them that their beauty lies within and that they are beautiful because they are a child of God!
I received a complimentary copy from Revell but I am voluntarily sharing this review. These are my honest thoughts.
Excellent title.

This book is filled with truth and Biblical insight on how to overcome insecurity related to body image. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are a mother of a teenage daughter or young girl.
