ADORED

I received a copy of ADORED: 365 DEVOTIONS FOR YOUNG WOMEN by Lindsay A. Franklin from Zondervan in exchange for an honest review.

This book is beautiful and reminded me of the cover of a classic.  I could picture a young woman in the Victorian era sitting beneath the shade of a tree enjoying the messages disclosed.  Of course, this book faces modern topics, not just things girls faced back then. 

Each page is a different message.  These are thought-provoking passages  that don’t just provide black-and-white rules, but are intended to make girls really think.  I like the passage in particular about leggings, and whether it is appropriate to wear them.  The passage stresses that we shouldn’t reduce ourselves to only having worth in sexual attractiveness.  I took that to mean not to wear them if that’s the only reason you’re wearing them.  Wear them because they are comfortable – and make sure they look okay and are not so tight they are see-through!

This book isn’t just for young women.  At almost 30, I too could find meaning in the words.
