5.0 out of 5 stars a "must give" book, October 27, 2004

By	E. Barron "alphabetjungle" (Wyomissing) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Secret Keeper: The Delicate Power of Modesty (Paperback)

This book is visually engaging with eye-catching colors and graphics--a wonderful, but compact and quick-to-read presentation on the subject of modesty from a Christian perspective. It presents a compelling case on the "whys" of dressing in a less revealing way. This little gem doesn't come across as preachy, but as one godly and lovely young woman sharing her wisdom and her struggles with teens. The photos inside serve as illustrations that being modest doesn't mean dressing like your grandmother. I highly recommend this and am ordering forty from the publisher to share with the teen girls I work with. Now does anyone know of a book that addresses the issues teen boys struggle with in an equally engaging way?

4.0 out of 5 stars This book rocked!, September 10, 2003

By	Alissa123 (Lockport, New York, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Secret Keeper: The Delicate Power of Modesty (Paperback)

I read Dannahs book a few days ago. I really loved it. As i watch girls in my class dress like hookers all the time, i see how horrible it is that they give away their body like that. I am a 14 year old girl, so I know what its like, and i think "Secret keeper" did a pretty good job of addressing the situation. This book, gives a new look at modesty and the deeper issues. I love how they used examples of christian rocks singers, because those women have to be up front about how they want to dress and follow God, and may young girls look up to them. I wish all my friends could own this book, but for now I will just have to let them borrow my copy.
An also recommended read from me would be "and the bride wore white" by Dannah Gresh.

5.0 out of 5 stars It hits the mark!, December 21, 2003

By	C. Arnett "doveya" (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Secret Keeper: The Delicate Power of Modesty (Paperback)

This book clearly and cleverly addresses the point with young women that modesty in dress and behavior is a choice worth making. With fun art, hip type fonts, and well-written tidbits of valuable information, it captivates the reader and gives her a desire to be more than she has been...to be a better woman.

I initially purchased this book for my daughter, and I preread it in one night. It was so good: the information is written in such a memorable way, and it applies to preteens through womanhood. (I'm 39.) I intend on buying copies for the preteen and teen girls in our church, because I wish I had known then what I know now.

Do not be at all discouraged with the small size of this book; good things come in small packages!
