She Deserves Better

Publisher's summary

What if the goal of raising a Christian girl was about more than keeping her virginity intact? What if it was about raising a strong, independent young woman who knows who she is, uses her voice, and confidently steps into the life God has for her?

From the authors of The Great Sex Rescue comes this evidence-based book grounded on surveys of over 28,000 women to offer moms a fresh, freeing, and biblically grounded message of sexuality and self-worth for their daughters that is less about the don'ts and more about the dos.

This isn't your average parenting book: no pat answers or overly broad principles here. No cliche prescriptives or toxic teachings that your daughter will have to unpack and recover from as an adult, like so many of us have. Instead, you'll find data-driven insights about how to raise a woman who is resilient, knows her strength, and has the discernment skills needed to make good choices. By reframing (and sometimes replacing) common evangelical messages to teen girls, this book will equip you to raise a girl who can navigate the difficult waters of growing up while still clinging tight to the God who created her on purpose, for a purpose.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Wow. Read for the sake of my daughter but found so much healing for myself

Please read for the well being of your daughters.
I found so much healing myself while listening. Man..it hits home.

Illuminating

A must read. I’m ordering a hard copy as well to re-read and share. This information will be beneficial in my parenting for my daughter and sons. This gives language to the low hum of frustration I have had as a woman within the institutional church structures.

A must read for the evangelical church!

This was a hard book to listen to as it confronted the very tricky teachings that groomed me to enter into a toxic marriage that lasted over 2 decades. I'm so grateful for the work that was put into this so I can hopefully teach my daughters to watch out for red flags and to fully embrace who God created them to be.

Real info o healthy ways to talk about sex, relationships, and religion.

The authors give actual data to support their findings. They systematically talk about what has helped and hurt girls in the past and what we can do moving forward.

Thankful for this work

Highly recommend if you read purity culture books in your youth or young adulthood and don’t want to repeat the same messages for your kids.

Evenone needs to read this book

This book is a good resource for every parent, girl, spouse and for everyone wanting a fair mutual world.

So healing!

Absolutely healing and validating- all women in the church should read this book! Grateful for the thoughtfulness and intention the authors put in!

Eye opening!

This book helped me to see the blind spots that I “inherited”. Women definitely deserve better.

lots of statistics

I got lost in the numbers often, but the overall summaries were really interesting. Learned a lot about myself.

A must read

This book has not only given me tools to better parent my own children and disciple the young people around me, but it has been deeply healing in my own journey. Whether you are a parent, teacher, pastor, or counselor, you owe it to those around you to read this book. Our girls deserve better.
