5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent practical upbeat book about puberty for girls, April 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Just for Girls Just for Moms (Paperback)

Elizabeth and Beth have birthed a masterpiece! This practical guide through puberty is candid and upbeat. The companion books for mom and daughter serve to enhance the loving partnership on the daughter's journey into womanhood. The information is medically and psychologically current. The mini-assignments at the close of each chapter are innovative, heart-touching and FUN!!! This is a "must read" for moms and daughters(8&up) who want to discover or rediscover the joy and wonder of being a woman!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Heavy handed Christianity-not for all, September 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Just for Girls Just for Moms (Paperback)

I ordered this book set and read it just this week. I understood it to have a Christian perspective but it puts more emphasis on the Christianity than the experience of puberty. I found it to be informative enough, but rather heavy handed in the Christian zone. I was assuming that the book would have the Christian perspective more on the love/marriage/sexuality areas rather than having one's period being one of God's glories. I just wanted to be on the record that THIS BOOK MAY NOT BE FOR EVERY CHRISTIAN. I can add my own bible verses if I feel it's necessary....there really should have been more of the physiological and emotional arenas explored. I plan to return the set.
