Having raised four boys and now trying to successfully swim through the unchartered waters of raising a teenage daughter, I was overjoyed when asked to review this new book by two obstetrician/gynecologists, Dr. JOE S. McILHANEY and DR. FREDA BUSH.
Girls Uncovered:
New Research on What America’s
Sexual Culture Does to Young
Women
In this book you will find startling statistics balanced with empowering strategies for raising your daughter to become the independent and pure young woman you desire her to be.
Truthfully, I believe ministers, teachers, grandparents, counselors, and doctors should read this book as well. The insights into “why” kids are doing what they are doing and “how” we can help them change these behaviors are beneficial to anyone who encounters teenage girls in a role of influence. There’s even a chapter written specifically to girls from the authors.
We live in an era when “anything goes” and kids are being influenced by their peers to believe that they have the “right” to do anything they want.
As a teacher, I see a lot of students every day who are amazing young adults. I also see a lot of students who are lonely, insecure, and starving for good parental guidance.
Sometimes the task at hand seems overwhelming. This book uncovers the truth about this particular generation’s view of sexual relationships using statistics and stories the authors have gathered from research as well as many years of seeing women in their offices.
Teenage girls need the covering of healthy adult relationships in order to become the strong, healthy, independent women we long for them to be.
In this book you will find facts, resources, and techniques for becoming a parent or other adult-of-influence who can triumphantly meet the needs of a generation of teenage girls who desperately long for help, support, direction, and love.
Please post a comment below if you would like to be entered in the drawing for a copy of this book Girls Uncovered. If you do not win, I highly recommend purchasing a copy of this book so that together we can help a struggling generation of young women. I will have the drawing next Wednesday evening and post the winner by Thursday!
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 
I only have boys but I would love to have this for my 6 niece’s.
