About this book:
“ “God does not make any mistakes, and in His creative plan for us as His children, He is purposeful and specific.”
As a young woman I was often told that I had low self-esteem. I did not understand what true confidence was, and this negatively affected every aspect of my life. Over the last ten years, God has taken me on a journey to discover the truth about godly confidence. Although it was painful and sometimes I resisted, I would not trade those lessons for anything.
Are you tired of the unrealistic expectations that the world places on your appearance and personality? Have you experienced dark times in your past, hurtful friendships, or the despair of loneliness? This book is for you. As a plus-sized woman of God, I understand what it is like to have insecurities. Join me in a conversation where we will talk about all of the things no one feels comfortable mentioning in relation to confidence and self-esteem. At the end of our discussion, you will be faced with a choice; either you can choose to believe what God has written in the Bible about His love for you, or you can choose the wide path full of miserable and deceived company. Which path will you follow? I hope that like me, you will finally be set free from the lies that Satan uses to make us feel worthless and unconfident.”

My personal
Rating-
The author makes some excellent
points in this non-fiction. But, not necessarily the best for teens at some
parts. Mentions of adult things (spouses, being a parent, etc.) made the
ratings lower, though I wish I could have done a bit of a higher rating because
the author was quite informative.
And that’s the last review of Teen
Week! I hope y’all found a new book to read! :)
See y’all on Monday with a new
