Published April 25, 2011Congrats to the winner of the Easter weekend giveaway. She is Amber Jensen ! Amber, send your address to me at karen@proverbs31.org. 
_______________________________________________________________
If your life includes a teen girl you love and care about, well have I got a treat for you!
I’ve asked my good friend and Proverbs 31 speaker Lynn Cowell to join us and chat about her brand new book His Revolutionary Love. Lynn has a passion for Jesus and for helping moms and teens connect with each other and with Him.
She is one of the most generous women I know and often serves out of the limelight. But when she is on stage, be prepared to be encouraged and challenged by this gifted and engaging speaker, who is now an author too! Now, bloggy sisters, meet Lynn:
As a speaker and writer with Proverbs 31 Ministries, Lynn Cowell lives in North Carolina with her husband of 23 years and her three teenage children. The Cowells enjoy being outside whether it is hiking, fast pitch softball or white water rafting.
Empowering women with confidence through Jesus’ radical love is Lynn’s heartbeat. She is very excited about the release of her first book “His Revolutionary Love: Jesus’ Radical Pursuit of You”; a study for young women.
Sushi, well worn sweatshirts and anything that combines chocolate and peanut butter are her top three favorites.
Now, watch a quick clip of Lynn telling of her passion for working with teen girls by clicking here. Be sure to come back for the rest of the interview and her great giveaway!
What prompted you to write His Revolutionary Love?
When I was 19, I discovered a side of Jesus I had never seen before. I had known Him as my savior, shepherd and friend, but I was still looking for more. It as then that I found Him to be the perfect, unconditional love I was always looking for. I found He wanted to be more than the God I served; He wanted to be the God I loved.
Years later someone I dearly loved was going through her third divorce, I asked Jesus why that wasn’t me. He revealed to me that falling in love with Him had filled my heart and completed me. I had discovered young that if a guy doesn’t like me it doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with me. I already had God’s approval and it had nothing to do with me. Jesus is crazy about me and that is enough. Spreading this truth is my passion.
What is your greatest desire for the girls who pick up your book?
My prayer is that each young women who reads “His Revolutionary Love” will discover the Love that has always wanted them and that this Love will fill their hearts for a lifetime. I hope they will find confidence, truth and power that will ruin them for a mundane life. I want them to be ignited with passion for Jesus that will revolutionize their lives with real change.
You are offering a wonderful giveaway to one gal who comments on this post. Tell us about it!
Today I am giving away a “Revolutionary Love” bundle. This bundle includes a signed copy of my book, a t-shirt from my ”Revolutionary Love” conference, and a DVD of my “Revolutionary Love” message.
Okay gals, leave a comment about what Lynn has shared today or about your own teen years and your relationship with God then. Or perhaps tell us about the girl you’d give this great prize to if you won.
Winner will be announced Wednesday. See you then!

I would give it to my niece! She’s a new teen and heading into all of the crazy things that entails.
Hi, I would give this to my granddaughter who is 14. Thank you for offering this, and for sharing Lynn’s story…I wish I would have fallen in love with Jesus in my teens as she did..but I am glad I love Him now!!
I have raised one daughter, have one that is 14 and two more yet to be teens. The world is a scary place now. The most important lesson for our kids is look to God for EVERYTHING! I would pass this book to all my girls. All teens and young adults need all the help we can offer! Thanks for writing the book and for caring!!!
What GREAT words of truth to speak into the hearts of young women. I gave my heart to Jesus as a very young age and had a very strong faith as I grew. Still, I never really understood the full range of God’s love. In my early twenties I strayed from the Lord and sought love and satisfaction many other places. I believe if I would have truly understood God’s unconditional love perhaps I would have been spared a lot of heartache, the heartache of being unfaithful to an ever faithful Father. I would LOVE to have the opportunity to share this book bundle with my teenage nieces and girls in our church. Thanks!
My daughter is going to be 12 this summer. I want her to have such a love for Jesus that she doesn’t look for the acceptance of a boy. That she is confident within herself because she loves God with her whole heart and KNOWS He loves her completely!! Thank you for allowing God to use you to touch so many people’s lives!
My “God-daughter” Stephanie turns 12 in July–I would love to give this wonderful gift to her!!!Thanks,Barb
I would love to share this book with our jr high youth group! Blessings!
amy
This would be a great gift for my daughter who will be 13 this summer. I would probably also share this with my friends who are youth group leaders and have small groups of teenage girls that they mentor.
Rebecca Ann
I would love to share this with my daughter who is approaching her teen years. It’s such a confusing time and it would be great to have a resource like this to help!
I would give this to my daughter. She is 13 and is drifting away from God no matter what I try to do. Maybe this book would speak to her.
I would love to share this with a young girl who was in my children’s choir as a confirmation gift. In fact, I’m considering getting copies for all of the girls in the class. It is so hard to be a young girl and keep close to Jesus.
What an incredible message and so desperately needed for teen girls today. I work in the counseling office at our local high school and see so many girls searching for love and affection in all the wrong places. I would love to win this package to share with my daughter in a few years as she approaches those turbulent teen years. Thanks for the important work you are doing Lynn!
Would love to get my hands on that book for my younger sister who is exploring her faith more as a highschooler. She’s strong headed and very passionate about what she puts her attention to and I know this book would help her look forward towards the Lord.
I would love to give this to my 12 (soon to be 13 year old) daughter. I am watching her become a teen more and more each day and having to make those sometimes hard choices. I try to keep our lines of communication open and try to help her make the right choice but I think adding this book to her life would help her to see it is not just something mom is saying.
I would give this book to my daughter. She has struggled with precocious puberty since she was 2 1/2 years old. They have finally stopped her injections and she is really struggling. She struggles with her weight, self-esteem and just finding a good friend. We live in a tiny little town and there aren’t many christian kids in her school (maybe 3 or 4). We do go to church and she does have friends there but it is 25 miles away. I just think this would really help her. She is almost 13 and trying to find her way.
I would give this to my daughter. I can’t believe all the things that teens today face. I pray daily for her, as well as, my other children that they will walk in accordance with God’s Word. This book would be an excellent resource for Taylor to see that it’s not just what her mom thinks or says.
I would share this with my daughter who just turned 14 last week. I want her teen years to be so much better than mine were. I didn’t grow up in church, my parents were divorced, mom remarried to a very abusive man; I was so miserable as a teen. It took a long time to regain my self-confidence and it’s still a struggle sometimes today. I want my daughter to know who she is in Christ!
I would give this to my daughter who is 15 and even though she attends a wonderful youth group at church and has Christian friends she is at that age that “mom is clueless” and whatever I say is “old-fashioned” and every response is “ohhh, mom” with the eye-roll. Bless you Lynn for your ministry. Jane
Sounds like the perfect book for my daughters upcoming 14th birthday
I would give this to my step-daughter who is 20. She is really struggling right now with life in general…trying to understand it all. Although she was raised in church, she doesn’t have a realtionship with Christ. She says she is saved but it missing out on the blessing of having a love relationship with Jesus.
I’m in!
For my girls… I have triplets that aren’t quite teenagers yet but one of them really struggles already with insecurity. I am dreading the teen years but know that God will provide the wisdom and strength we need to get through them together.
I would give this to my daughter who will be 13 very soon. I wish I would’ve had this resource when I was a teen! Thanks for sharing with us!
I would give this to my 18 year old daughter who is struggling greatly with accepting love, and totally falling into Jesus’ arms. Her dad had a stroke 8 months ago, and life has been turned upside down…. nothing is tha same at home, and she needs the assurance of Jesus’ love in her life.
I would love to share this message with my daughter. She is almost 14 and about to enter high school. Just today, my husband and I discussed how we could better equip her to handle situations and pressure I am sure she will face very soon. Just a week ago she almost got herself in a very embarrassing situation as she felt unable to handle the pressure she was receiving from her older brother’s friend. She did come to us immediately and ask us for help, but it has been very heavy on my heart and in my prayers of how to equip her for these types of pressures when we won’t be there to assist her.
I found Christ at the age of 13 but I wandered away from His amazing love and tried doing it on my own. My parents were both ministers but that did not bring me to Christ. It was their prayers they lifted up to the Savior and the fact that God used my dad’s sickness and his death to draw me back into His fold after about 34 years of running away. Not raising my children in the church but about once a month or every 6 weeks to church my oldest son is following his parents footsteps and hardly taking his children to church. My oldest granddaughter will soon be a teenager and needs guidance, assurance of Christ’s love for her so she does not become like her mother or father full of anger, hatred, bitterness,. I try to guide all my grandchildren to church and Christ’s love but it is difficult when their parents don’t understand and I have limited time with them. The world’s draw is powerful. I would love to share that book with my granddaughter, Kaylee. I love her so much! I would be most appreciative if you would consider us. Thanks and God bless each and every one of you!!!!
I would give this to my granddaughter, Ashley…just about to turn 14 and will be starting High School in the Fall. Her mom is a believer but not “walking with our Lord”. I would hope this would be a help to both of them
I would love to share this with my lovely daughter, Alyssa. As a youth worker, we are very interested in what Lynn has to offer all our girls. We hope to do more with her book coming soon!
I would give this to my daughter. Whom my heart is breaking for. She is fourteen and struggling with her own sense of self. Maybe she would find comfort in this wonderful material.
I would give this to my 13 yr. old daughter. She has a heart of gold; and already has big dreams for her life. She tells me her life goals; but always adds~if this is what the Lord would have me do. I love the fact that she’s already realizing the need to include God into her future plans. I’d also share it with my other two daughter who are a few years away from being teens themselves.
I have the tremendous blessing of being loved completely and unconditionally by my Hero/best friend. Our 15 yr old daughter would devour this book…she is so hungry for Him, His love and her strengthening relationship with Him.
Thank you…Jeannie
I searched for love in all the wrong places as a teenager, and, as a result, had an abortion when I was in college. My own daughter is approaching 13, and I am in constant prayer to lead and guide her in a way that will avoid all of the sinful things of my past. I want so much more for her, and I am constantly seeking new tools in my parenting journey. I would love to have this to share with her and use in our discussions in the upcoming months and years.
I would love to give this book to my daughter who turned 13 in February. I think this would be an awesome way for her & I to connect over the summer. I also feel this book could help me as well.
I would love to have this book to share with my daughters. I am mom to eight beautiful children, four of whom are girls aged 17, 15, 13 and 10. I so desire for them to know that the love of Christ is all they need. A book focused on this vital love relationship is a wonderful find.
Thank you for sharing that! The teen years can be so hard~I’m already girding myself for raising my four girls~two on the brink of teenhood. I appreciate your ministry! ~Lyn
This sounds so fantastic. The unconditional love of Christ was what first drew me into a relationship with him. There are so many young women I would want to share this with. I would read the book, review it on my blog, and then talk about it with my students (I lead an afterschool Writing Club with kids in 2nd through 6th grades) and share the materials with my sister-in-law for my precious nieces who aren’t quite teens yet.
As the mom to 3 daughters, ages 13, 18 & almost 21, I would love the opportunity to share this bundle with my girls. My oldest had a close relationship w/ Jesus as a younger teen, but as she got older she seems to have lost that. I do see her starting to come back, but I would love to foster that even more so. My youngest seems to be struggling w/ her teen years more so than her older sisters did and doesn’t have the same relationship w/ Christ that her sisters did at that age either. I hope to bring us all closer to Him and this would be a great help. Thanks so much for your work!!
I actually would like FOUR copies of this book!!! One for each of my two daughters because of the struggles they have had and one for each of their two best friends!! I would then also pass it to two teen girls at my church, one of which has struggled with a bad break up with an older boy and an eating disorder…….
This would be a great share for my oldest daughter who is 12, and her two younger sisters (9, 5) as they reach an appropriate age.
I really appreciate this quote:
“He revealed to me that falling in love with Him had filled my heart and completed me. I had discovered young that if a guy doesn’t like me it doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with me. I already had God’s approval and it had nothing to do with me. Jesus is crazy about me and that is enough.”
If they can feel that Jesus is enough, we’re so far ahead. The key is taking that head knowledge and getting them to feel it in their hearts.
I have a 15 year old daughter who, thankfully, has her priorities in the correct place. Having said that, I’m concerned that I’m not doing enough to help her and especially as she begins to move out of high school and into college in the next 3 years. Being born and raised in a Christian home, and going to church almost every time the doors are open, doesn’t necessarily make us Christians. We live in an area where few of my daughters friends are Christians and where we only have a few youth in our church for her to hang out with. I believe this is the type of book that might help her to continue on the right path.
I just bought Lynn’s book a couple days ago and I can’t wait to begin reading! If I were to win this, I’d give the copy to my daughter. I’m sure she won’t want Mama’s after it’s all written in. Then again, I might give to a friends daughter for her Bday that is coming up. She turns 13!
I would love to have this for my daughter. She is 14 and starts high school in the fall. I know she has a good head on her shoulders but I also know how much peer pressure there is in high school. I’d like for her to do this study before she starts high school so she starts with her head in the right place.
Thanks so much for writing a book about teen girls and all they are going through.
WE can never get enough Biblical information to share with them.
Thanks!

What a wonderful giveaway…sounds like a wonderful book! I would give it to my 12 1/2 year old daughter. I was raised in an unsaved household that was VERY dysfunctional and want better for my 2 girls. My beautiful eldest daughter who the Lord has given many talents and a soft heart, is struggling with puberty and her self-worth. She is not your typical girl (into reading, dragons and archery) so does not fit into the “girl mold” at school. We are trying to teach her that God made her the way she is and she is fearfully, and wonderfully made. So hard to be a teenager in this world. God bless whoever wins this bundle…and I pray that the Lord is glorified through this blessed young lady. God bless.
I raised two boys. My husband has two girls. The youngest has struggled for years due to the relationship with her mother. As a step parent, it has been very hard to understand when it is my turn to step in. I feel that I am closer to her then her mother is. I would do anything I can to make her (my stepdaughter) see that she is worthy of love, understanding, peace and she has the right to her voice. I can not undo what I didn’t break. Only God can.
She struggles in relationships, eatting disorder, communicating emotionally, rejection and a few other things. She is beatiful. She is smart. She is worth more than the price of rubies. I would do anything to make her see that.
I would give it to my daughter, who is 18. She has had a very tough life (lost her mom to breast cancer when she was 9). She is also our niece and my husband and I adopted her when she was 15. I can see that she struggles and I daily pray for her. I would love to have anything to encourage her.
I would give this bundle to my good friend Amanda, who is a freshman in high school. She’s been through a lot of bad relationships with guys and is finally looking for healing in healthy ways. This would be such a great tool and blessing for her to help get her started on the right track! She doesn’t understand that God is more than God, but He is Love. Thank you so much for writing a book like so, sharing a phenomenal truth with so many who definitely need to hear it.
Wow! Sounds like an amazing book, loaded with wisdom! Can’t wait to dive in. I would love to have this book for my Proverbs 31 Teens girls group. We have all sorts of girls with different backgrounds but the same desire….to be wanted, needed, & cared for! It breaks my heart to hear their stories sometimes but I love on them & show them how important they are not just to me but to JESUS! The world is a cruel place for our girls today. My daughter, 13, knows Jesus but somehow can’t quit grasp how MUCH He loves & cares for her. Please pray for our group of teens, as well as all of them out there, that leaders are able to demonstrate & share just how much Jesus wants them 100% & nothing less. Thank you for everything you do!! May God’s hands always be on you!! †
This sounds like an awesome message for teenage girls. Ahhh… the teenage years, full of angst and drama, love and laughter, heartbreak and fears. I”m so glad I’ve got that part of my life over with =)
My daughter just turned 13. She is a former foster child, whom we adopted. She is going thru a time of wondering about her birth family, dealing with peer pressure, and trying to just be a “normal” teenager. I need all the tools I can get to help. This bundle would truly be a gift! Thank you!
I have two girls of my own not teenagers yet, but I have been recently called to work with the teenage girls in the church I attend. The ages range from 12 to 20 and we have just been discussing a book club. There is so much pain in these young girls from self confidence, past boyfriend experiences, unforgiveness and so on. I believe a book like his would benefit them very well because they are all looking for love right now and we are trying to keep them from finding it in the world.
I would give it to Carly, my 17 year old daughter. Carly has had type 1 diabetes for 10.5 years. Last April, she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Carly has been ill with the Crohn’s disease-bleeding and extreme fatigue-until 8 weeks ago when the bleeding stopped. Carly has had a very tough year and her faith has been in question. She knows God loves her, but wonders why she must endure so much. She has learned who her real friends are and who she can count on. I know Carly could benefit from the gift! Her loving mother
I have two daughters that I would love to grow closer to the Lord and realize how passionate He is about them!!!
thanks!
I would give this to my daughter, Carlie. She just turned “Sweet 16″ last week, and she is a true “God’s Girl”. She is the reason I gave my heart to God. When she was 11 years old, she looked up at me with those baby blues and said “Mommy, I want to go to church”. We went the following Sunday, and God has moved amazingly in our lives since then! Thank you Carlie : )

I was well into my 30′s when I finally ‘got it’ that my identity is in Christ and not in men. This was my very struggle, I have a teenage daughter and niece that I have tried so hard to get them to not struggle in the way that I did. My daughter is currently wrapped up in boys and I need this book for her.
Thank you!!
I have an only child who is a girl. She is 14 and I would truly love to see her accept herself as God does, and accept and realize her God given potential. Teens girls desperatly need to know that their first true love is Jesus! I helped teach a bible study class for girls and they are so torn between the Lord and the world. Thank you for writing something esp. for them. I will give this to my daughter
This would be for my 14 yearold daughter. My husband was called to preach 19months ago and recently took a small church in an adjoining county. My daughter is having a very difficult time leaving the only church she has ever known and going to a church where she knows no one. She is a very bright girl and loves the Lord very much! But struggles with this change in our lives and why GOD would take her from the only church she has ever known, then there is the everyday struggles of being a teen that stands up for the Lord! I have been looking for a study just like this for her to do. GOD Bless!
I teach 6th grade girls bible study class and this truth is so important in getting them to understand their identity in Christ. Thank you!!
I would give this to my daughter Jordan. She’s 17 and I believe she struggles to see where she fits in with God’s plan, his love for her and just struggles being a teen! I would love for her to draw closer to our Loving God. Thanks!

I have a 12 year old who left her school due to bullying and it has been so hard for her to develop any self confidence. It scares me to think about what and who are out there to lead her astray.
I would most definitely give this to my
teenaged daughter. While I am officially
only her stepmom, I regard her as my own
flesh and blood and have embraced her as
such. She has also reciprocated the love by
embracing me as her mom. Her legal
mother didn’t take care of her or love her.
I married her dad who received legal custody
once it was disclosed that she had been
sexually molested. It is amazing all that God
has done in my daughter’s life. She loves God
and clings to His Word.
I would love to have this book for my 16 year old daughter. She is a girl who wants to know the Lord better, but has really been struggling with several issues this year. It would be a great help! God Bless you for wanting to help teen girls!
I have three daughters whom I would share this book with. They are 19, 13, and 5 and while the five yr old may be a little too young right now it’s a timeless message that will still be relevant when she is old enough to appreciate it. It’s a powerful message that I believe each one of them should hear.
I gave my life to the Lord at 11 but never truly knew him as the lover of my soul. I searched my whole life for love to fill and heal my heart and to make me whole, only to end up wanting. No man can fill the heart of a woman, not truly. Only Jesus can love us the way we truly need to be loved and it is when we are confident and filled with his love we find the love for ourselves and then we can find a healthy relationship with a man. I truly desire to teach this to my daughters who are 15 and 10 so that they do not go through life searching for a love that will not fulfill, but knowing that they have the Love of Jesus that will always fill their hearts and he will never leave nor forsake them.
I would give this to my almost 17 yr old daughter and have her share it with others. Her father died in June after a long battle. In January her great grandmother died and 3 months ago her boyfriend nearly died in an accident that she was involved in. She has been traumatized and is in counseling. I do see her pulling away from the Lord and she has many doubts. It kills me to see this happening but I do understand it. She needs to know that God does love her, and He has a plan n all of this.
This would be perfect for my teenage sisters. So often we look for love outside of God and then wonder why nothing satisfies us. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
I would give this to my daughter, who will be 17 in a few months. She is struggling between her “church” friends and her “school” friends. She needs to know that it is ok to be loved by God and have all the friends she wants. But her true Friend will be the Lord. She gave her heart to Christ in January, and needs all the encouragement she can get to stay on His path.
I have 3 daughters 15, 12 and 9. When I was 20 yrs old I became pregnant with Vanessa I was not married and scared, but I ask the Lord into my heart and learned about the Bible reading Alice in Bible land books to her. She is now 15 and loves the Lord. I married her father and we are so thankful for Gods faithfulness. I lead a womens Bible Study and I hope to start a young womans study as well with my daughter and her friends on the subject of purity and Gods unconditional love.
Remember that old song…”Looking for love, in all the wrong places…” I can completely relate! As the teen daughter of an alcoholic father, that was my life. Thankfully, the Lord stepped in and brought my future husband into the picture early! It would be another 12 years before I would find Christ as the answer to the hole in my heart, but at least He saved me the heartache of giving myself to a man other than my husband. My own daughter is now 12 and my husband and I are dedicated to saving her any doubt about where true love lies. I would give this gift to her, and hopefully would spread the love by hosting a small group with her best friends and their mothers. Thank you both for your ministries!
I have struggled with helping my 10 y/o daughter grow up with a healthy self-esteem because I never really had a strong sense of self myself. I would love for she and I to go through this together. Knowing that God loves you and feeling it is something I would like for both of us to learn.
I have 3 daughters and their many friends I would share this with. I feel God has put a desire/calling in my heart to lead a Bible/book study on something just like this. Thank you for entering my name!
Hi, I have a daughter that is 11 going on….16 of course. It’s scary to see her and her friends looking for Love (God’s unfailing love) in all the wrong places. I can see her going on the wrong path looking for that love in boys. I remember when I was a teenager I never felt full of love like I do now (now that I’m in Christ’s Love). I pray ever day that my daughter would take the path of Christ’s love and not looking for it in all the wrong emty spaces of the world like I did. I just don’t know how to approach it and this book would really help!! I would read it with my daughter and share it at our local church in our town that we live in. It would be such a blessing thank you!!!
I just came across this exciting giveaway and book on the Proverbs31 Ministry Facebook page. My hubby is the youth pastor at our church and I work a lot with the teen girls in our group. This sounds like an awesome book study for our girls and their moms.
One starry moonlit night, as a teen, I sat in my car and cried out to God, “Are you there? Do you even see me?” He spoke to my heart, and told me He loved me and He was there for me. Years later, I chose my own crooked path and lost my way. After the birth of my first precious daughter, the love I had for her softened my heart and God reached out to me through her. I turned my life around with God’s help. God has blessed my life abundantly! I now have 6 children and my oldest daughter just turned 13. God will bless you when you are for Him. I am living proof. I would love to win this set for my daughter and her friends to do a book club. They would love it!
As a mom to 5 kids (22, 16, 14, 14, & 14) which include two teenage girls (16 & 14)…I read this post with great interest. PLUS…I have a teenage daughter-in-law (18). I am always on the lookout for something to help me connect with my kids on a deeper level. I would love to use this tool to reach out especially to my daughter-in-law. She has had a tough life and needs to see Jesus in a real light.
Good luck with your ministry!
Thank you, Karen, for this chance to win. And thank you, Lynn, for your faithfulness in teaching God’s Truth to teens and equipping their parents. If I were to win, I would give this package to my daughters (12 1/2 & 15). I am considering starting a summer book study (with this book) for my daughters and some of their friends. Our culture teaches so many lies and I want to arm them with more of God’s Truth.
Ladies, It has been such a privilege to read your heart for the girls in your world. I just know that as we invest in this generation, the radical love of Jesus will truly transform their hearts. They will become girls who are confident because they are approved, accepted and affirmed by the One who will never leave. And just think…it has nothing to do with them and everything to do with Jesus!
Let’s spread this revolutionary love!
Lynn
I am a young mother, even though I was going to church I started looking for love and acceptance in the wrong places, I didn’t have any good example of christian youth in my church back then, and I got pregnant at 16. Now my daughter is about to turn 14. Few years ago her dad decided he didn’t want to be married anymore so we divorced, he still see her few times a month but I am sad to see such a happy and confident kid struggling with her self image and low confidence. It’s hard for me to help when I am struggling on my own, I would love to see her having a happier godly life than mine, I think this book can help her realize that the only perfect love comes from Jesus.
I would love to win this for my 14 year old daughter, Rachel, who wants to be God’s Girl. It is so important that our girls learn to get their identity from God and who He made them to be and not from the world.
I have a twelve year old daughter and a four year old daughter along with a fifteen year old son. I am amazed at the impact of words on both of my daughters while my son seems to respond to actions. I hope I can find your book and get it in before school lets out because this would be a great kick start to a summer Bible Study. Thanks for being so generous with your time, love, and experience with the Lord.
Praying for your continued success in reaching others for Him!
Amanda
My 14 year old daughter is on fire for God and she would absolutely love this!
I have two daughters, ages 10 and 9, so I would save this book for them. Thanks for the chance to win.
I would give this book to my granddaughter Ashley. Ashley is a bright and intelligent young lady who loves to read. Ashley has had many life changing experiences this last year and a half, after 14 years of marriage Ashley dad ask Ashley’s mom for a divorce. Ashley of course loves both of her parents but she is struggling with how her early father could love her and still leave her mom. I believe Ashley would benefit greatly from a book that shows unconditional love of our Heavenly Father. Blessings, Una
I have 4 daughters (12, 11, 7, 4) so this book will be reused again and again!
My teen years were rough. My dad moved out of state. I had the secret of being abused by my step father when I was younger and I didn’t realize that my mother was and alcoholic and abused prescription drugs. Something she still hasn’t admitted. I so wanted to quit school and get married and start a family of my own to love. It wasn’t until I after my second divorce and was a single parent at the age of 27 that I came to know that what I knew of Jesus wasn’t all there was. I started my quest and it didn’t really all sink in until I was 40! Once I found my current church and really started to understand that it wasn’t so much about how much I believed in Jesus but receiving what he had to offer me did all those lonely and pain filled days melt away. I know in those years and even now I can cause some emotional pain to my children. I know my girls haven’t been through nearly anything like I did but I also know they haven’t gone totally in wounded by my careless words at times. If this would help me to explain just how deeply and totally Jesus loves and cares for them then I want this book.
I would most def give this to a teen girl that has been in my life for about 6 months. She is a precious girl that has recently discovered Jesus but struggles to connect with his love. She is vibrant and beautiful and falling deeply in love with Jesus but her past (rape, abuse, drugs, alcohol) distorts/distracts her from really grasping the fullness of God’s love. This study I think would bridge that gap. Thank u for writing your hearts passion…I feel like you have been inside my head. Blessings!! Renee’ Hines
Lynn, what a blessings this book will be. God has given you such wisdom. How wonderful that He has now given you this opportunity to bring that wisdom, and with it hope, to so many mothers and daughter in His Kingdom. Praying God’s favor and richest blessings over you as this book is placed in the hands of so many looking for answers. Love you!!! Wendy
Dear Friends,
Many of you spoke of getting this book and starting a small group of girls to go through it with. I want to help! Starting next Monday, May 2nd, I will have a free leadership guide on my sight. This leadership guide will help you by showing you exactly how to do a small group as well as offer thought provoking questions and a schedule if you want one!
Starting the first week of June, every Wednesday I will be going over 2 chapters of the book so that you have a friend with you as you invest in girls. At the same time, I will be going over the same chapters on my site for teen girls at http://www.RadRevolution.com including a weekly video! Stop by my blog and sign up in the subscription box so that you don’t miss this opportunity
My 14 year old would love this book. She is a faithful believer in Him, even when some of her friends are growing up too fast.
I forgot to tell you; my website is http://www.LynnCowell.com. You will find the free leadership guide next Monday under “fREEBIES”.
I so wish that I had’ve had a true relationship with Christ when I was a teenager. There are so many decisions I would’ve made for the better. However, knowing now what a difference Christ has made in my adult life, I’ve tried to instill that in my 14 year-old daughter. I try to talk with her openly and honestly about life, dating (although she’s not allowed to yet), and relationships in general, but stressing that the greatest one she could ever have is with Christ. I am planning for she and I to do some mother-daughter only things, like a conference next fall in Dallas.
I’m not trying to be her best friend, but just trying to be someone she can trust and lean on when she needs that.
I was also older before I “got it”! I now have a 21 year old daughter that I feel I did not do my duty as a mother to give her the tools she needed to survive teen years knowing that God loves you and that is all that matters. I also have a 12 yo and 9 yo that I so hope I can change the cycle. I would give this to my 12 yo and then pass it down. I can only pray that God will step in and give my oldest daughter the self esteem that I sadly did not pass down to her. I know God can work all things for his good and I believe this will happen with her, because she now has a 1 yo daughter and I know we both want that cycle broken!!!
I would use this at church. There are so many hurting girls that need us women to stand alongside them and possibly their moms just to encourage them. I think the DVD sounds like a great girl’s night opportunity with the book and t-shirt as giveaways to a couple of the girls who come. My own daughter is only 9 but I can see the trends in girls just ahead of her at school and church. I’d like to nip those in the bud! They need positive, local role models and we have a great opportunity and responsibility here! Although girls ministry is a little foreign to me, I’m inspired by possibilities!
About a year and a half go I took my (then 12 year old) daughter away for a Passport to Purity Weekend. We had a great weekend away talking about a lot of serious topics, as well as laughing and having fun together. About a month ago now, on a Sunday morning before church, my now almost 14 year old daughter sat down in the living room while I was drinking my morning coffee. We talked briefly about our plans for the day, and then she asked me if I thought maybe we could go away for another mother/daughter bible study weekend sometime. “YES!” I replied, with absolutely no hesitation, “I am sure we can do that!” I was so blessed that my teenaged daughter not only wanted to go away for a weekend with me, but that she wanted it to include bible study and talking about Jesus!! Since then I have been looking for a good book or bible study to use for our getaway, which will probably take place over the summer. This book looks like it would be a perfect jumping off point to continue the discussion we began over a year ago, and have continued since. I am really excited about the book, and I am so glad I saw the post linking to it on Facebook!
Thank you for this message for teens! It is so valuable! I wish I had truly grasped it much earlier in life. I’m certain my decisions would have been better in regard to relationships. I desire that understanding for my 16 year old daughter, and would love to share your book with her.
Be blessed!
i would love for my 3 teen daughters to receive this book now that they have become young women i would like for them to find there way in the lord.my oldest is a teen mom working and in college and i know she desires to be a good role model for her one year old son, my 17 year old is about to graduate and go off to college and she is going need to make good choices and reading the book will help her alot, my 16 year old is high school but needs to find her direction in life, i was so proud of her yesterday in sunday school when she ask the guestion how would she know if she had an angle wacthing over? she regonize God as her savior and she was glad to know that he is wacthing over her.
This gift would go to my 13 year old, Amanda. Sounds like it would be a great summer study for both of us!
I love hearing about good books like this one. As a teen I wrote an essay for my English class about my best friend. In the essay I talked about Jesus Christ and how I felt so close to him. I love how he protected me and saved me for the right man. I am so in love with Jesus. I don’t know any other man like my husband. He is on a spiritual level with the Lord that I admire. I don’t know where I’d be if God hadn’t put him in my life. We’ve been married 15 years and our firstborn daughter is 13.
