With short, engaging chapters that apply the life-changing messages of the True Love Project, teen girls will slowly and intentionally change their perception of the true love God has waiting for them with the 40 Days of Purity for Girls. Just as Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness preparing for His ministry, young women are called to spend 40 days in the Word. For these 40 days, girls will practice a life of purity and learn to reflect the relationship of the Trinity in their own relationships with others. By doing so, teens will discover that their purity is a bright light in a dark world and is only made possible through a strength much greater than their own.

In her debut novel, award-winning poet Brynne Rebele-Henry re-imagines the Orpheus myth as a love story between two teenage girls who are sent to conversion therapy after being caught together in an intimate moment. Abandoned by a single mother she never knew, 16-year-old Raya—obsessed with ancient myths—lives with her grandmother in a small conservative Texas town. For years Raya has fought to hide her feelings for her best friend and true love, Sarah. When the two are outed, they are sent to Friendly Saviors: a re-education camp meant to “fix” them and make them heterosexual. Upon arrival, Raya vows to assume the role of Orpheus, to return to the world of the living with her love—and after she, Sarah, and the other teen residents are subjected to abusive and brutal “treatments” by the staff, Raya only becomes more determined to escape. In a haunting voice reminiscent of Sylvia Plath and the contemporary lyricism of David Levithan, Brynne Rebele-Henry weaves a powerful inversion of the Orpheus myth informed by the disturbing real-world truths of conversion therapy. Orpheus Girl is a story of dysfunctional families, trauma, first love, heartbreak, and ultimately, the fierce adolescent resilience that has the power to triumph over darkness and ignorance. CW: There are scenes in this book that depict self-harm, homophobia, transphobia, and violence against LGBTQ characters.

Is your tween prepared for what’s ahead? It used to be that middle school was the time to talk to kids about topics like modesty and body image. Unfortunately, the at-risk demographic for distorted views on the body is now girls ages 8–10. Fortunately, Dannah Gresh has provided a resource for this need. True Girl is geared to helping tween girls understand their dignity in Christ. It features a creative self-help text format that includes sidebars, quizzes, games, exploded quotes, and graphics to help them absorb the message. Here’s what author Dannah Gresh has to say about the motivation behind the book: “My past fifteen years of studying at-risk teen and tween behavior has over and over again led me to good news: girls who are exposed to an age-appropriate, Bible-based understanding of beauty and fashion between the ages of 8-12 tend to be less likely to engage in early sexual activity or have body image issues. They are also more likely to have healthy friendships, excel academically, and become positive social contributors in their com­munities, all while expressing their beauty and value appropriately. "It’s not rocket science. It is social science paired with a whole lot of prayer and Bible study. We can change what tween girls see when they look in the mirror by changing what's inside their hearts.” This is the heart behind True Girl:a desire to teach tween girls how valuable they are and how to honor their God-given dignity. Ultimately, it’s about grounding girls in their identity in Christ so the tumultuous teen years don’t uproot them. This book pairs with True Girl Mom-Daughter Devos, allowing moms a helpful resource for walking through this formative time with their tween girl.

What does purity look like? Is it recognizable to the average teenage girl? Does she know that purity should be at the very foundation of her identity over makeup, short skirts, and finding a boyfriend? Purity carries an unpopular message in our culture, but the ignorance of purity could quite possibly be the greatest cause of the low self-esteem epidemic among teenage girls in our society. If a girl doesn't understand what kind of woman she was created to become, then chances are she will believe lies about herself from modern culture. As a result, throughout her life she will behave as if she's a much lesser being than her creator meant her to be. She may even become sexually active early in an attempt to feel desired and accepted. It's time she learns that her true beauty radiates brightly from the inside out! The Identity of Purity will: 1.Define what purity is from God's perspective...not the world's. 2.Teach teenage girls Biblically about their true identity and purpose amid the lies from media and pop culture. 3.Guide teenage girls to sexual purity through a deeper walk with their creator. 4.Help teenage girls overcome 5 major obstacles to living a lifestyle of purity.
