God's Promises For Girls

Be Beautiful On The Inside


Lip gloss and nail polish
Fancy clothes and earrings -
None of these compare with
What inner beauty brings.

"God does not see us the same way poeple see.  People look at the outside of a person, but the Lord looks at the heart."
1 Samuel 16:7




 I really like this book.  Each "promise" has a little poem, like the one above, and then bible versus (taken out of the best-selling International Children's Bible) that reinforce the promise.  I love the one above, because I grew up having self-esteem issues, and I do not want my girls to experience that.  I want them to be happy with who they are, no matter what they look like on the outside.  Don't get me wrong, my girls are beautiful!  I just hope the rest of the world sees it, too.


The illustrations in this book are adorable, just like the one on the cover.  It is tiny, too, which makes it easy for little hands to grasp.  This is the perfect bedtime book, I think, because it provides the opportunity to talk to your daughter while relaxing.  I know Brandi and I love to read together before bed, and this book has become one of her favorites.  I am going to let Kasi read it, too.  Even though it may be a little young for her, I still think the messages it provides will have an impact on her.
