Dannah's approach to explaining the critical nature of modest is both cool and relevantThe photos will also show the girls how to take the 'Truth or Bare Fashion Tests.' In essence, this will provide concrete, 'how-to' modest dressing skills.Brand new products to this line are the Secret Keeper Devos and Power Pak!

 Wonderful book!!! November 25, 2008
I have had the older version of this book for a few years now, and loved it too. This is an excellent book. I wish I would have had this book as a middle/highschool girl. I have purchased multiples of this book and have given them to young women that I know and they have been very well received. I am currently leading a small group of middle school girls and we are going through this book. It is very relevant, brings up excellent discussion, and builds self-worth and a desire to be thoughtful and intentional about the way you interact with others, especially guys. It has valuable insight whether you have a relationship with Jesus or not, although it is very solidly based in Scripture and will be more meaningful to a girl who has a desire to love God.
Excellent April 21, 2008
Excellent starter for the topic of purity. Dana Gresh nails it on the head! Excellently presented and fun visually. You will want to discuss more and deeper on the subject with your daughter as she gets older (see my rating for Before you Meet Prince Charming), but this is wonderful for younger girls and a great talking starter... Also, you may want to print the online guide she has for the modisty "test". Most of the girls we know have read this book and I don't understand how they feel skin tight clothes, with low pants, etc. is a form of purity. They think the book is excellent, but somehow, a lot of them don't see themselves in it. So, as a mom, I think guidelines are in order, and Dana has the clothing "tests" that are great!
Great food for talk October 2, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
When I received a review copy of this from the publisher, I showed it to my wife and said, "Look at this--it's a book about modesty". Our daughter, then just 14 years old, grabbed it out of my hand, said "I want to read it", sat down on the floor of our kitchen, read it straight through, emailed two or three of her best friends, and let each of them read it. This sparked a year-long on-and-off conversation about relationships, attractiveness, modesty, desire, and how guys and girls think. Now that these girls are in college, we continue to have good conversations about these vital issues of life. I highly recommend this to any parents of young girls (11-14 years old), and recommend that you read it, too.
Must Have and Then Share for Teen Girls August 5, 2007
Though many Christian dating/love related books mention modesty, none really clarify it and what it's about. This book is the much needed voice to change all that.
I think the biggest problem with modesty in a lot of Christian girls is simply unawareness of the problem. This book does an excellent job of teaching girls to protect their beauty, help their brothers in Christ not to sin, and overall giving insight into purity and saving yourself for your spouse.
Dannah is very understanding of - but it's fashion! and comes up with lots of hip and fun alternatives, but yet she's encouraging of simple jeans and tees too.
I read in another review the comment of 'the picture on the back of the book is not modest by God's standards'. Though I will not say that is untrue, none of the photos in this book are eye-catchingly unmodest and I would guess this is more of a guy needing to watch issue than the girl in the picture being so immodest.
Eye-opening, and excellent and easy to read book! You will return many times.
AWESOME! July 3, 2007
This book is so awesome! I would give it 10 stars if I could! It has taught me lots of things about modesty. Now I have a whole new perspective on how I dress, and what it does in guys minds. This book has changed my life, and the way I dress.
