Every mother wants her daughter to love the skin she's in, to be free of insecurity and poor body image. But no matter how much we try to tell our daughters that they are beautiful and lovable as they are, words are not enough. And if we're honest, we don't always set the best example of being body confident. Until we truly see ourselves as good enough, our girls will struggle. With deep compassion, Maria Furlough delves into the root causes of our insecurity, offers biblical guidance for seeing ourselves as God sees us, and shows how to model our newfound confidence to our impressionable daughters. Speaking as a daughter, a youth leader, and a mother, Furlough shares her own struggles and triumphs, as well as expert advice from a pediatrician, a nutritionist, a Christian counselor, and more. What we say to our daughters might last a moment. What we show our daughters lasts a lifetime. With God's help, we can put aside our obsession with bodily perfection and refocus on becoming and raising godly women.

Build a strong foundation to face the fickle, sometimes hurtful opinions of others. Find approval of herself even when she lacks the acceptance of others. Walk confidently through the exciting, yet scary world of growing up by turning to Christ step by step.

A Bible Study for Women. You are a Daughter of the King. You are a Child of God. You should be overflowing with confidence, but if you're anything like the average woman, insecurity may still be a struggle at times. Why do we struggle when we have such a secure identity? Because we are forgetful. We take our eyes off God and forget what He says about who we are. We instead focus on how we feel about ourselves and let doubt creep in. We worry about how others perceive us, and live a life seeking to gain their approval. It's time to refocus our minds onto what God says about us, replacing our areas of insecurity with His Truth. There is no reason for you to be insecure. Ever. God's desire is for you personally to discover what it means to be truly confident as His beloved child, enjoying the rich blessings of your true identity which are found in Jesus.
