I once heard the very wise Glynn Harrison say that if we do not give our children the Biblical narrative of positive body image and good sex, we leave the door wide open for them to build their worldview via the playground and social media.
This book has been written as a conversation starter for parents to read and discuss with their pre-teen daughters. It’s subtitle is about modesty, but it attempts to cover far more: true beauty in God’s eyes, nakedness, appropriate touch, modesty in dress, flirting, adultery, promiscuity, and being clothed in Christ’s righteousness.
