*Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of “Brave Beauty” in exchange for my honest review.

It’s time for another fun book review and giveaway, friends! 🙂 Today we have a lovely devotional book that you are sure to want to check out for the little girl (age 8-12) in your life.

This devotional book is entitled “Brave Beauty: Finding the Fearless You” by Lynn Cowell of Proverbs 31 Ministries. This book is beautiful inside and out and is comprised of 100 mini chapters covering a whole host of topics including:

  • Salvation
  • Worth
  • Acceptance
  • Body Changes
  • Purpose
  • The Love of God
  • Beauty
  • Courage
  • Willingness to Stand Alone
  • Truth
  • Doing Scary Things
  • Change
  • Belief
  • Family
  • God’s Presence
  • Being an Overcomer
  • And more!

What I love about this book is that it combines two aspects of how I want my daughter to be as she grows up. On the one hand, I do want her to love and embrace beauty, to delight in her femininity, and to take care of the body God has given her. On the other hand, I also want her to be strong and courageous, brave and bold, for Christ. The problem with much of the material geared towards girls today is that it is an either/or rather than a both/and – either they overemphasize outward beauty and self-esteem, or else they turn all warrior girl-power on us and forget the winsome beauty and softness of femininity. I want my daughter to be strong and beautiful, warm and courageous, soft and unwavering for truth. I think “Brave Beauty” will aid me in my mission to help my daughter grow into that kind of young woman. So, thank you, Lynn Cowell! 🙂

For a little more info on this lovely book before we dive into the exciting giveaway, the back cover, in part, reads:

“In Brave Beauty you’ll:

  • See who God says you are
  • Talk about tough stuff
  • Discover how people of the Bible handled hard things
  • Learn more about God and how He helps us
  • Explore how God’s words can help us become fearless and brave”

  1. Thank you so much for sharing, Rebekah! I’m so glad you liked Brave Beauty. I am praying that God will use His word in this little book to lead many young girls to build their confidence – their entire lives – on Christ alone!

  2. I’d love to win a copy because money is tight and I cannot buy the book. My girls could really benefit from the issues discussed. Thanks

  3. I have a 9 year old daughter that would love the book. And I would love to go through the book with her and a friend or two.

  4. I would love to win this for my daughter! She is 11 and just started middle school. In my opinion, middle school is one of the hardest seasons for a young girl. You seem to be just coming into your own and trying to really “find” yourself. Unfortunately, kids these days tend to be more judgemental and cliques start to form. My daughter is a Jesus loving girl, with a kind, empathetic and joyful spirit. I pray she stays this way and that the years do not change or harden her heart. I think this book would be a great tool to help keep her feet (and identity) firmly planted in Jesus! Thanks!

    1. Hi, Amanda! I am thrilled to be able to announce that the winner of the giveaway was randomly chosen this morning, and you have won!! 🙂 I’m so excited for your daughter, and pray that this book blesses, encourages, and equips her for the road ahead! Please send me your address, and I will get your book shipped out right away!

  5. My daughter is turning 10 and has special needs. She is an inspiration to the family and continues to grow and strengthen emotionally and spiritually. This would be an amazing gift to her and our family for the roads she faces now and ahead in middle school and navigating that world. This devotional would benefit her in so many ways and would truly be a blessing. Thank you for the opportunity.
