Am I loved? Am I valuable? Am I smart? The questions can go on for as long as a girl's imagination and self-image allow. A girl needs to know that she is enough because of God's love.

So often, girls and women give in to the lies that how they look and how popular they are determines their worth. But as children of God, we can have the confidence that we are loved, protected, secure, whole, and valuable because God is our heavenly father.

Loved and Cherished equips girls ages 8-12 to:

• Discover perfect, unconditional love in God, and that she doesn't have to perform or be perfect to receive that love.
• Know she has God's protection, despite living in an often-scary world.
• Let go of heartaches, fears, and failures, because she has the love she needs to face it.
• Build a strong foundation of faith on the love who will never leave her so she can face the challenges of growing up.

With a beautifully decorated cover, ribbon marker, and lovely page illustrations, this book of devotions will make the perfect gift for any girl in your life who deserves to know she is cherished, treasured, valuable, and worthy.

There are days when my daughter struggles to believe that Jesus really does love her. Even though I often repeat how beautiful and special she is to Jesus just as she is, my growing girl also needs to hear the truth about God's love for her from other godly women who do not hold the role of M.O.M. in her life! I cannot wait for my daughter to read Loved and Cherished for it's encouraging, relatable, and applicable devotions will help her to finally grasp and embrace God's love for her. Lynn and Michelle's wisdom will help her to pray and live with confidence as a daughter who truly knows she is loved and cherished by her King. This winsome collection of devotions is not only a win for my girl, but for daughters everywhere! ~Tracy Steel, speaker and author of A Redesigned Life: Uncovering God's Purpose When Life Doesn't Go As Planned * Tracy Steel, speaker and author of A Redesigned Life: Uncovering God's Purpose When Life Doesn't Go As Planned *
