About the Author

Vicki Courtney is the founder of Virtuous Reality Ministries and virtuousreality.com, an online magazine for middle school and high school girls. She is a nationally acclaimed speaker and the author of several best-selling books. Through her ministry and books, she confronts the cultural concerns facing children and their parents today and offers a blueprint for addressing these issues. Touted as the “poster child” for a new and better women’s movement, Courtney’s goal is to counteract the empty promises peddled by America’s consumer-driven culture and offer the younger generation the real thing: a relationship with God.

 

Deeply concerned about modern culture’s negative influence on girls’ self-esteem and behavior, Courtney vowed to initiate a positive change, thus creating Virtuous Reality Ministries. Virtuous Reality has become a thriving national ministry reaching more than 150,000 girls and mothers a year through its website, resources and events.

 

Courtney currently resides in Austin, Texas, with her husband, Keith. They are the proud parents of three teenagers.

This review is from: Between Us Girls: Fun Talk about Faith, Friends, and Family (Paperback)

This is a great read for "tween" girls. Both of my girls loved reading this and go back and refer to it occassionally. This is not a "one time read". It's a great tool for educating your girls about life, faith, friends and family at a crucial time in their lives.
