5.0 out of 5 stars A Young Woman After God's Own Heart, May 12, 2003

By	Mrs Anne White "[e-mail]" (Giralang, ACT Australia) - See all my reviews

This book is brilliant with loads of insight to help teens develop their own personal walk with God.
George writes in a warm engaging manner encouraging the reader to be proactive in their pursuit of a heart that marches to the beat of Gods drum!
Each chapter is filled with helpful suggestions rounded off with with a challenging heart response, a practical "to Do List" to help motivate & a short bible study.
I am presently working through this book with my 11 year old daughter & it's providing her with the tools to move on in her christian walk without me being there.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Cool Mom's" review, December 8, 2005

By	Traci "Cool Mom" (WI) - See all my reviews

I am reading through Woman After God's Own Heart, which I so wanted to share with my son's girlfriend, very new and unsure of her faith, with absolutely no spiritual support from her parents. But "Woman" is very mature and deals with women more my age. I saw "Young Woman" here when I ordered another copy of "Woman" for a close friend. I'm excited about the book... I know some of these teens reviews are mixed, and one actually very harsh. I will say this to the young ladies out there... it IS possible to live purely and holy before God as a teen. I did it with peer pressure and all... I saved myself for marriage and have had a wonderful life. It was not and still is not always easy - even adults have peer pressure. My husband and I talk to our kids about EVERYTHING and don't "flowerize" anything. It is hard out there - but God requires integrity from us. Remember, Elizabeth George was a teen at one time and she raised teen daughters... the way she speaks is out of a heart of love for you and for the Kingdom of God. Philippians 4:8 says Whatever things are pure, true, just, lovely and of good report with VIRTUE and PRAISE - think on THOSE things. When I read the book with my daughter I'll come back to give my final opinion. Blessings!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book, December 6, 2005

A Kid's Review

This is an awesome devotional type book to work through for teen girls if they want to know how God's Word says a young woman after God's own heart should be living. I think Elizabeth George did an amazing job with this book. Teaching girls my age to seek after God and follow His ways is something that doesn't happen as often as it needs to be. This is definitely a great read.
