New Releases by Suzy Weibel

Peer pressure and relationships with boys are scary topics in mother-daughter relationships. That’s why Dannah Gresh, creator of the Secret Keeper Girl events, and Suzy Weibel have developed this resource for tween girls like yours…during those wonderful but scary years when they start thinking about boys differently and encounter our culture’s destructive messages. With stories and examples your daughter can relate to, the book takes her to the Bible as her resource, helping her meditate on its message and have fun while she does it. She’ll explore questions like How come God made girls so that they like boys? Why are all my friends boy-crazy? Should I be? How can I stand out from others and be pure without losing my friends? You’ll love the biblical grounding and solid guidance that will help you with mother-daughter issues over boys—and help your daughter gain a foundation for godly relationships with young men. The Girl’s Guide books in the Secret Keeper Girl Series have been created for tween girls to help them explore topics important to them and give them the opportunity to travel deeper into “God’s diary”—the Bible—for truth and instruction. The front half of each book contains chapters written just for tweens, and the second half is an accompanying Bible study.

If you’ve ever felt lonely, abandoned, lost, or unloved, you’re not alone. Although she’s a successful Gotee recording artist today, Stephanie Smith has had her fair share of hurt and heartbreak. Her journey has been a long one, filled with the pain of being fatherless, struggling with her identity, and looking for love in the wrong places. And while she’s not yet done with her journey, and still far from perfect, she has found hope, and through her story, you may find hope of your own. The truth Stephanie has come to realize is that, “In all of our trials, tribulations, heartaches, and brokenness, God is there. We have a choice: We can walk with God, or we can walk away from him.” Walk with Stephanie as she shares her journey and her heart. You may find that in the midst of your own pain and troubles, you can find the hope and help that Jesus has to offer—and you, too, can be a rock star!
