Review Quotes

"For Girls Like You is a solid voice of biblical insight for young women. In a time when trustworthy voices are hard to find, resources like this serve as an important compass pointing God's daughters to core values and old-school virtues like honesty, integrity, and community. Cultivating meaningful friendships that offer encouragement and edification can make a monumental difference in a young woman's life. The company we keep will either propel us toward a life or purpose or hinder us from reaching our full potential. Each page of this book is dripping with principles that will remind your young reader that friendships are one of God's greatest gifts and that they should be navigated with care, wisdom, and intentionality. I pray that you'll read this with the young lady you love and then engage in meaningful conversation. I think you'll find that it will impact the landscape of your friendships too."

--Priscilla Shirer

"For Girls Like You is an exceptional ministry for growing girls, and God's Girl and Friendship is both an encouragement and a practical tool that every girl needs! For the past 20 years, the number one question I've received from moms of tweens and teen girls is, 'Do you have a book or devotional you recommend to help my daughter with identity, confidence, and friendships?' For a long time, I struggled to give a confident answer. Not anymore. This book is exactly what I've been looking for--and what every girl needs. I only wish I had this resource when my own daughters were growing up!"

--Suzanne Phillips, founder of Beacon Parent and host of The InFormed Parent podcast

"Friendship isn't always easy to navigate, but it's one of the sweetest gifts God gives us. That's why I'm so thankful for this book, written by my friends For Girls Like You. It's a needed guide that points girls toward healthy, God-centered friendships while reminding them of the truest Friend we'll ever have: Jesus. You're holding something really special in your hands, and I'm excited for you to discover all the wisdom inside."

--Adrienne Camp, author, speaker, and musician
