My Impressions:
This was
an inspiring book all together. I could hardly wait for the book to arrive and
then when it did, my 14 year old daughter snagged it before I got a chance to
look at it. Although its been a few years (or maybe more), I remember being
that same boy-crazed girl who could not get enough of what ever boy I was madly
crushing on. Waiting to see him, stealing glances, spending time with him,
brushing against him “accidentally”, etc. Basically desperate to get him to
notice me, desire me and want me. I could have easily wrote this book myself,
it felt so familiar to me.
What
impressed me about this book was how Paula weaved Gods truth throughout the
whole thing. Reminding us that our hope, love, security should be found in His
love for us, not some boy we are crushing on that will never give us what we
really need! There is so much wisdom packed into this little book that its
mind boggling at times. So simple, yet so complex. We all have this romantic
idea of what love is and should be and sadly the entertainment industry helps
us glorify it more. Paula reminds us time and again what love is and is not, by showing us glimpses of God and His hearts desire for us all.
Although
I am way outside the age range for this book that was wrote for tweens, teens
and young adults, the principles and promises still hold true. This is an easy
one that I can recommend for mothers and daughters to sit down together and
discuss and go through to strengthen their bond.
