Book Review: Girl Talk

Book Review: Girl Talk

Girl Talk is the kind of book I wish I had when I was young.  It covers a range of real-life situations in a loving, caring manner, gently addressing girl issues with biblical truths.

A Wonderful Devotional for Girls

Girl Talk has 52 readings, which contain a Bible verse, a short story, seven questions, and a prayer.  A girl can answer one question per day, as the book outlines, or at her own pace.  This book would be a good Bible study for a mom and her daughter to go through together.

The characters in the short stories are drawn with realistic feelings.  They aren’t perfect people.  The characters break the rules, complain, feel insecure, and don’t always treat others right.  They come from all different backgrounds; some are from troubled homes, others are in traditional families. I appreciate the effort the author made to write these stories with realism and compassion.

Even if a girl reading this book can’t relate to the situation being described, I believe these stories and questions will give her greater understanding for peers in different situations.

Helps Girls Apply God’s Word

The discussion questions help a girl examine her own situation and apply God’s Word to her problems.  I like that in each section, the author writes a question that helps a girl come up with a game plan about each issue. If a girl applies these questions to her daily life, her faith will be strong in the challenging teenage years.

I chose to review this book because I thought it would make a good Christmas present for my eight-year-old daughter.  After reading Girl Talk, I think the subject matter is more appropriate for girls ages 10 to 14.  I will hide it away and plan to study this book alongside my daughter when she’s a little older, and I will buy a copy for myself as well.

I received this book from the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers book review bloggers program.
