New Book! Every Girl's Journey

It is always fun to share a big project with a friend who has a similiar goal. Whether it is planning a wedding, anticipating a new baby, or working on a home improvement project, we bond with friends who are facing similiar joys and challenges. 

My friend Regina Rosenberry began her book writing journey about ten years ago, just like me.
Both our book journeys had numerous setbacks over the years. Sometimes we set aside our projects for months, or even longer. Sometimes we thought that the book project had completely died, but somehow it always resurrected. We sent each other chapters as we finished them, celebrated small milestones, and groaned together over delays. We never dreamed that we would both be holding the first copies of our books within weeks of each other. I'm delighted to share this journey with her and introduce Regina's book, Every Girl's Journey to you.

Regina caught the vision for her book when she searched for resources to share the facts of growing up with her pre-teen daughter and didn't like the options she found at her local library. She wanted a book that would celebrate the beauty of God's creation of the female body with practical tips and godly wisdom. So she combined her love of nutrition and care for our bodies with her passion for encouraging young women in the Lord into a lovely book to share with her daughters. 

This book is beautiful! Regina and Hannah Lehigh combined their talents to design water-color paintings which give this book a feminine charm. 

But it more than just pretty pages. Regina delves into all sorts of topics from acne to friendships. She even tackles some hard topics like eating disorders and abuse with tact and kindness. I love her motherly tone that is both matter-fact and warm. I think girls will love her stories where she bravely shares some of her embarrassing moments, showing that she is real and faced these changes in life as well. She even includes a few recipes.

As a mom of four daughters, I'm grateful for resources like these. I suggest that you read the book first and decide what age your daughter is ready for this material. Every girl is different and only you know when it a good age. You may want to share the first chapters with your daughter, but wait until she is a bit older for some of the later chapters.

You can get your own copy of Every Girl's Journey at Christian Light. If you are a local, you can buy one directly from Regina. 

Also, if you hurry, you can enter a giveaway by our friend Nola and maybe win a copy of my book, Regina's book, or our friend Geneva's book. But it ends tomorrow (Wednesday). If you sign up for the giveaway, sign up to get Nola's emails as well because she is an excellent writer that I hope will someday have her own book.

And if you are the Lancaster area, Regina and I are doing a book signing on Friday. We'd love to see you. 

And on another note...my sister Charity makes beautiful, hand-sewn, genuine leather journal and has a supply available in various sizes for Christmas gifts. Message me if you want more info.
