I have not read this entire book - but let me tell you why. I wasn't even through the first chapter before I went and found my 15 year old daughter and told her that this was a book that I wanted to read with her. What I wouldn't have given to have a book (or a friend) like this when I was a teenager. Luckily, my daughter still talks to me about everything - or so she says - but even so, there is so much going on in school these days that I would have been shocked by 25 years ago, that a lot of times I am floundering right beside her. But let me tell you a little more about the book.

The chapters are not very long - about 10 pages each, with a couple of those pages being answers from teens or people who work with teens to a question that has been posed relating to the chapter. So in this aspect, if we take a chapter every day or every 2 days, it should move along pretty quickly. There are discussion questions at the end of each chapter which should open up some great conversations for me to have with my daughter. I figure if I just gave her the book to read, she would just skip these questions, like so many of us would if we didn't have someone keeping us accountable.

The book also has wonderful scripture references that are so pertinent to each chapter! There are things that I still stumble with as an adult where these scriptures will also help me on! It is also written in such an easy to understand language, and it doesn't sound judgemental at all. I even found much of it humorous as she will set up a situation and pretty much say - this is how I messed it up - and with what I know now - this is how I would handle it. Some of the topics covered are modesty, outward appearance, kissing, material things, bad language, relationship with your parents - well, you get the picture. All those things that are important or relevant in young girls lives today. If you have a daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter, friend that is between the ages of 12-20 - I would definitely recommend this book to her. I can't wait to get more into it with my daughter!

I didn't realize that this book was created for teens. Obviously I quickly caught on. While my daughters are barely in 1st grade..this will be a book that I will keep for them as they get older.

Danae Dobson creates an environment in her book that allows young girls to understand the complexities that our "modern" society offers while explaining the "true love" and "devotion" that our God in Heaven offers.

Let's Walk the Talk doesn't tip top around the challenges of growing up but rather meets them directly and head on in a forthright, caring manner. It truly is as if Danae is taking the role of the older sister to the young women she has in mind in her writings.

Even though it has been many years since I have been a teen...I still found gently reminders and insight how it is important for me as a women to remember to Walk the Talk.

It is a pleasure to know that there is a young writer sharing her faith and directions to young women when they need it the most...the teenage years. Let's Walk the Talk!: Girlfriend to Girlfriend on Faith, Friendship, and Finding Real Love

This was a great concept. The author talks to the reader person to person. Included are personal views from different interviewees, and then some questions to focus on. I will be sharing this with my daughter in a few years.

Be detailed and specific. What would you have wanted to know before you purchased the product?

Not too short and not too long. Aim for between 75 and 300 words.

Make it fun! Who says you can't be informative and entertaining?

How about a little action? If it makes sense, cut to the product in use as you describe your experiences with it.

This is a very good book. There are many times when our children will have questions but will not feel comfortable going to their parents for answers. As parents we have to be extremely careful to make sure there are reliable spiritual sources to fill this gap. This book certainly helps and I definitely recommend this book. May God Bless and keep your daughters happy and holy.

We gave this to our niece and she loved it. My niece brought the book down and read parts to her mom the same night we gave it to her and took it to school the next day. GREAT book for young teens real values and basic "talk" what we all need more of.
