Review of Devotions for the God Girl
Are you a teenager 'God Girl' looking for devotions to stir your spirit? Are you the parent of a 'God Girl' thinking of a gift that will keep on giving? If so, Devotions for the God Girl by Hayley DiMarco is a perfect fit.
Hayley DiMarco, founder of Hungry Planet, speaks the language of the teenage girl and not will easy spiritual insights but with strong Scriptural truth. This devotional is packed with messages for teenage girls that direct, support, and encourage them to become the woman they were meant to be.
These devotions are numbered but not dated making it easy to jump in at any point in this devotional and start from that point forward or take the more conventional route and begin at the beginning. A quick topical reference is included in the back just in case you want to read more on a topic but it isn't the next in the book.
Another feature is that all of these 365 devotions are short and to-the-point messages easily read in a 15 minute quiet time. Many of the devotions are question oriented. I find that very appealing because the questions challenged me. A few of my favorites were...
* Number 62 - What is your legacy going to be?
* Number 198 - What do you do well that can help a hurting world?
* Number 341 - Do you believe that everyone should adore you?
This is a hard cover devotional uniquely designed with a teenager in mind. I imagine that mother's and daughters would enjoy reading these devotions daily together. Or, perhaps they could be used in a weekly youth group meeting.
Researching Hayley DiMarco and her other books, I found insight into her heart to encourage and disciple young girls. The devotions also reveal her strong desire to give absolute truth to teenage God Girls without watered down messages.
A wonderful selection for yourself or for another as a gift, I recommend it highly.
