Girls face unique challenges and unsustainable pressures in a culture of confusion about who they are and what is Truth.
THERE’S NOTHING FAIRY-TALE-LIKE ABOUT BEING A GIRL TODAY
Queen Esther got it. She may not have been perfect, but she is a perfect example to today’s girls of how to live set apart in a faithless culture. When girls learn who God is and what He says about them, they will rise up in His strength and stand strong in their faith, having complete confidence that they will be okay, no matter what.
