Back of the book: 

Why did God Make me? What is my purpose on the planet?

Have you ever asked those questions? Yep, me too! I've experienced the frustration of not knowing what I'm supposed to be doing with my life> Those questions drove me deep into God's Word looking for answers. And guess what? I found them! God has a purpose for my life. He has a plan to use me to do big things for His kingdom.

And you know what? God has a purpose for your life too! He wants to use you to accomplish a huge mission (even while you still have math homework).

Are you ready to stop asking why you're on the planet and start living out the mission God has for you? Great! Let's dig into God's Word together and allow Him to show us how to take on the adventure of life on a mission.

Back of the book: 

I am a radical. To you, that word "radical" might stir up images of someone who dresses weird, talks weirder, and seems to do whatever it takes to stick out like a sore thumb. While I've certainly made a fashion mistake or two, that's not exactly the kind of radical I mean.

I'm talking about radical faith--the kind of faith that seeps into every corner of my life. Did you know tht the Bible is chock-full of radical followers of God? These are people whose lives look different from the crowd because of their faith in a radical God.

Are you satisfied with the status quo? Or are you ready to embrace the kind of radical faith that changes everything? Once you've experienced radical life in Christ, nothing else will satisfy.

Back of the book: 

I hate to shop. I'm not a huge fan of pink, and I just cannot seem to get the hang of flat irons, curling irons, or hairspray! I spend a lot more time being loud and rowdy than I do being "gentle and quiet." Maybe that makes me a strange choice to write a book about what it means to be a girl.

Don't get me wrong: I love being a girl, but that's because I know that God's plan for my design goes way beyond shopping sprees and picking out fingernail polish colors.

Have you ever wondered why God made girls girls and guys guys? Have you ever questioned your design or asked yourself what exactly it means to be a godly girl? If so, this book is for you. In a style that merges girl talk with God's Truth, we will discover exactly what God had in mind when He made you.

Back of the book: 

True Confession: I was voted the "Most Conceited" member of my seventh-grade class. In junior high, my world pretty much revolved around M-E. If someone had asked me during those years why Truth mattered, I would have said something like, "I don't know. How's my hair?" I might not have cared much about Truth then, but looking back I see that I was missing something HUGE . . . something I don't want you to miss out on for a minute.

Truth has the power to change everything about our lives. but what is Truth? How can we know what's true and what isn't?

In a style that reads like a conversation with a best friend, we will tackle those questions--and more--together in this fun little book. So join me on a journey to discover Truth.

My thoughts:

Finding great material for your junior high girl is a hard task. When I came across this series by Erin Davis I was thrilled. It is so relevant to what that age of girl is facing. The language is in a style that girls of this age will relate to. The topics are very needed and it is set up in a format that would be very conducive to using in a small group setting.

Each of the books are stand-alone and can be done in any order. There are five chapters in every book so they could easily be divided up into a five week study. It is set up where the group leader and the participants would use the same books, there isn't a need for a separate leader guide. 

While I think it would make an excellent small group study, I also think it would be wonderful as a personal devotional book as well. Or better yet, get the series and do it as a starting point for some great mother/daughter discussions!
