A Girl's Guide to Making Really Good Choices
Every girl is a beautiful creation, uniquely equipped by God to do His work in the world. But as girls are growing, changing, and making choices about the kinds of lives they will lead, they are bombarded with conflicting messages about what it means to be a woman. The media says one thing, boys say another, and friends seem obsessed with whatever is newest and coolest. As a result, girls too often hand their decisions over to those least qualified to make them.
Into the breach steps Elizabeth George, bestselling author and beloved Bible teacher. With wisdom, gentleness, and tremendous grace, she guides tween girls ages 8 to 12 through the most challenging decisions they face, teaching them to let God--not the world--define who they are. Discussing such topics as attitude, friendships, crushes, parents, school, and avoiding bad situations, Elizabeth helps girls see that the very best choice of all is a choice to live within God's will.
A Boy's Guide to Making Really Good Choices
It's never too early to give young boys a resource that will help them learn the skills for making right choices in life. A Boy's Guide to Making Really Good Choices is designed to help boys ages 8-12 learn how to think through their options, realize the possible consequences, and develop good decision-making skills.
In this book, Jim George uses helpful stories and illustrations to walk boys through the kinds of choices they are likely to face each day--choices to... listen to their parents, do their best in school, sports, and activities, select friends with care, be kind to siblings and others, help out at home and use good manners.
Through the use of real-life scenarios, Jim George equips boys to build good character--the kind that will stay with them for life and honor God's standards.
Perfect for individuals, small groups, and mentoring.
