Girl to Girl: A Life-Changing Mother-Daughter Devotional Book

We have huge news to share with you today!  This might be the biggest news I’ve shared throughout my past six years of blogging!  Drumroll, please!  Eleven-year-old Bekah and I wrote a mother-daughter devotional book together!

Last winter, Bekah saw a mother-daughter devotional written by an older mother-daughter pair sitting on our kitchen table.

“We should write a mother-daughter devotional!” she declared.

“That sounds great, babe.  Brainstorm some ideas, and we’ll get started,” I suggested.  I hate to admit that I never thought I’d hear another word about the big idea.

Our New Mother-Daughter Devotional Book

Well, 259 pages later, we are thrilled to tell you that our new book will go on sale in a few short weeks!

It’s called Girl to Girl: 60 Mother-Daughter Devotions for a Closer Relationship and Deeper Faith.  We are so pumped about this book!

Check it out right here: Girl to Girl: 60 Mother-Daughter Devotions for a Closer Relationship and Deeper Faith.

This book makes the perfect Christmas gift for the moms and daughters in your life.  It’s written specifically for girls ages 10-15, but it’s relevant for moms and daughters of all ages.  Each devotion includes Scripture, a reflection from me, a commentary from Bekah, discussion questions, and even a journaling section.  We are so excited about this book!

A Book for All Girls and Women of All Ages

Lastly, we’d like to note that this tween and teen girl devotional is written with a focus on ministering to girls ages 10-15; however, the wide expanse of the content makes it appropriate for younger and older daughters as well.

Moms can offer additional clarification when reading it to younger daughters.  Additionally, reading it with an older daughter will be a delight.  The discussion questions are meant to challenge even the most seasoned believers. You don’t even have to be a mother-daughter duo to enjoy this book!  Read it alone, or read it with a younger woman you mentor.  Women of all ages will take something away from this book!

Don’t Miss This Testimony!

Lastly, as some of you know, the past year has included some major setbacks in my writing career.  I have grieved some hard losses, and I’ve wrestled with God.  Last year at this time, Jesus gently invited me to trust him with what I could not understand.

A year later, the pieces of the puzzle fit together.  God closed a big door in my writing career last year, but he closed it because he wanted to open this door.  Had the first door not closed, I wouldn’t have had the time to write this book with my girl.

Looking at the bigger picture, I would gladly walk away from even the biggest achievements in my writing career to write one book with my daughter.  I humbly thank the Lord for his faithfulness.

I’d like to encourage you today as well.  Is there a part of your story that doesn’t make sense right now?

God is inviting you to pray this prayer, “Father, help me trust you with what I cannot understand.”

He is creating a masterpiece.  You can trust him.

A Teaser for Our Mother-Daughter Devotional

Before buying a book, I like to get a taste of what I’m buying.  For this reason, Bekah and I created a free 7-day mother-daughter devotional for moms and daughters to read together.  It’s a shorter version of our 60-day devotional.  It’s called The Girl to Girl 7-Day Devotional.  Get your free online devotional here with promo code GIRL!  We pray it blesses you!

I’m passionate about equipping others to encounter God in powerful and life-changing ways. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me hiking, jogging, exploring wild places with my three young children and husband, leading small groups, and mentoring younger women. A certified special education teacher, I am on leave from the classroom for a season of chasing frogs and playing in creeks with my little ones. Most of all, the compassionate love of Jesus has forever ravished my heart, and I'm emphatic about making his love known to the world.
