Make Time for Fun, Teaching, and Connection With all the pressures and influences of today’s world, Christian moms worry about their little girls and how they will grow up. Quality time between a mom and a daughter can be the greatest protection against the world’s pressures to make a girl mature too quickly. Knowing this, Dannah Gresh, popular speaker and founder of the True Girl conferences, has developed a host of dating ideas to help moms invest the time needed to deeply connect with their daughters. 8 Great Dates includes fun mother-daughter get-togethers, perfect for one-on-one or for a small group of moms and their energetic 8- to 12-year-old daughters. Each date focuses on one topic surrounding beauty and dignity, provides lots of fun, and imparts a message that enhances life and faith. The book provides a mom with everything she needs to plan and carry out the activities and includes topics such as: The power of true beauty—what makes a girl beautiful? Truth or bare fashions—how to balance fashion and dignity Hair, makeup, and clothes—who should be your model? Here’s the secret to bringing up healthy, grounded, and spiritually rich girls!

The author teaches that modesty not only issues a challenge for one man to romantically earn a girl's virtue, but it also expresses love and obedience to God.

Is your tween prepared for what’s ahead? It used to be that middle school was the time to talk to kids about topics like modesty and body image. Unfortunately, the at-risk demographic for distorted views on the body is now girls ages 8–10. Fortunately, Dannah Gresh has provided a resource for this need. True Girl is geared to helping tween girls understand their dignity in Christ. It features a creative self-help text format that includes sidebars, quizzes, games, exploded quotes, and graphics to help them absorb the message. Here’s what author Dannah Gresh has to say about the motivation behind the book: “My past fifteen years of studying at-risk teen and tween behavior has over and over again led me to good news: girls who are exposed to an age-appropriate, Bible-based understanding of beauty and fashion between the ages of 8-12 tend to be less likely to engage in early sexual activity or have body image issues. They are also more likely to have healthy friendships, excel academically, and become positive social contributors in their com­munities, all while expressing their beauty and value appropriately. "It’s not rocket science. It is social science paired with a whole lot of prayer and Bible study. We can change what tween girls see when they look in the mirror by changing what's inside their hearts.” This is the heart behind True Girl:a desire to teach tween girls how valuable they are and how to honor their God-given dignity. Ultimately, it’s about grounding girls in their identity in Christ so the tumultuous teen years don’t uproot them. This book pairs with True Girl Mom-Daughter Devos, allowing moms a helpful resource for walking through this formative time with their tween girl.

Provides a guide for mothers and daughters to explore the qualities and values of a true friendship while connecting their experiences to the Bible and God.

Peer pressure and relationships with boys are scary topics in mother-daughter relationships. That’s why Dannah Gresh, creator of the Secret Keeper Girl events, and Suzy Weibel have developed this resource for tween girls like yours…during those wonderful but scary years when they start thinking about boys differently and encounter our culture’s destructive messages. With stories and examples your daughter can relate to, the book takes her to the Bible as her resource, helping her meditate on its message and have fun while she does it. She’ll explore questions like How come God made girls so that they like boys? Why are all my friends boy-crazy? Should I be? How can I stand out from others and be pure without losing my friends? You’ll love the biblical grounding and solid guidance that will help you with mother-daughter issues over boys—and help your daughter gain a foundation for godly relationships with young men. The Girl’s Guide books in the Secret Keeper Girl Series have been created for tween girls to help them explore topics important to them and give them the opportunity to travel deeper into “God’s diary”—the Bible—for truth and instruction. The front half of each book contains chapters written just for tweens, and the second half is an accompanying Bible study.

Eighteen-year-old Daunis Fontaine has never quite fit in, both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. She dreams of a fresh start at college, but when family tragedy strikes, Daunis puts her future on hold to look after her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her brother Levi’s hockey team. Yet even as Daunis falls for Jamie, she senses the dashing hockey star is hiding something. Everything comes to light when Daunis witnesses a shocking murder, thrusting her into an FBI investigation of a lethal new drug. Reluctantly, Daunis agrees to go undercover, drawing on her knowledge of chemistry and Ojibwe traditional medicine to track down the source. But the search for truth is more complicated than Daunis imagined, exposing secrets and old scars. At the same time, she grows concerned with an investigation that seems more focused on punishing the offenders than protecting the victims. Now, as the deceptions—and deaths—keep growing, Daunis must learn what it means to be a strong Anishinaabe kwe (Ojibwe woman) and how far she’ll go for her community, even if it tears apart the only world she’s ever known.
