Marian Jordan Ellis , founder of Redeemed Girl Ministries and author of Sex and the Single Christian Girl

This book is for every girl who has ever looked in the mirror and asked, Am I pretty? For every sports-lovin, pink-shunning girl who has ever wondered how she could fit into Gods mold for womanhood. For every girl with a secret yearning to turn heads everywhere she goes. Gods girls everywhere, this book is for you!

Erin Davis , author, blogger, and speaker

Beauty, sexuality, gender identity, purpose, and value are being defined by the shallow standards of our culture. But two young writers are bravely challenging the status quo and calling women to embrace true beauty and womanhoodas defined by God. Kristen and Bethany are painfully transparent as they invite us into their life experiences and show us how to live out the glorious purpose God has for us as women! Girl Defined is a carefully researched book that leads women to think through their purpose on a grand and biblical scale.

Kimberly Wagner , author of Fierce Women

Women today are told that their value is sexual. They have worth because of their beauty, and they should use their looks to gain power over men. Rarely is a book so well positioned to counter these secular lies as this one. The testimony of two women who had every opportunity to pursue worldly womanhood but instead chose biblical womanhood is priceless. You look up from reading the cut-to-the-heart exhortations and inspiring stories, and you can almost see Ruth, Hannah, Mary, and many others calling to a generation of girls, summoning them to defy Satan and seek Christ.

Owen Strachan , president of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood and author of The Colson Way

Every girl has to carve out her own identity in the midst of tempting messages and cultural pressures. Many falter and fail. Kristen and Bethany come to the rescue in Girl Defined not only with clear biblical teaching and solid guidance but also with the story of their own personal journeys to Gods good design for women.

Margaret K stenberger , ThD, author of Jesus and the Feminists and coauthor of God s Design for Man and Woman

Girl Defined challenges girls to question normal and think through what will ultimately bring them the most satisfaction in life. (Spoiler alert: its not necessarily what theyve been led to believe!) I appreciate Kristens and Bethanys courage, vulnerability, and compassion as they start a much-needed conversation about identity.

Jessie Minassian , resident big sis at LifeLoveandGod.com and author of Crushed , Unashamed , and Backwards Beauty

In a world in which womanhood is increasingly defined by body shape, brand names, boyfriends, bust size, beauty tips, and bawdy sexual mores, someone needs to champion a biblical vision of true beautyand few do it as well as Kristen and Bethany.

Luke Gilkerson , author of The Talk: Lessons to Introduce Your Child to Biblical Sexuality

In Girl Defined , Kristen and Bethany issue a clarion call to every young woman in this generation: cease with the never-ending, never-satisfying attempts to define yourself, and embrace and trust in Gods original, good design. Insightful, biblical, and written with passion and conviction, Girl Defined encourages girls to choose to be defined by God, resulting in the hope, freedom, purpose, and fulfillment we all long for.

Theresa Wigington Bowen , wife, mother, founder at A Candle in the Window Hospitality Network, and contributor to Women in the Church

Hey, Hollywood, Vogue , and MTV... what if you are wrong about strong women and sexuality? What if todays girls are looking for beauty that doesnt need a runway? Girls are longing for something deeper than fashion and hair flipping. Kristen and Bethany have answered that call with Girl Defined . As a mom and fierce defender of femininity, I am thrilled to get this book into the hands of the women and girls I mentor.

Mona Corwin , author of Table for Two and The Unstoppable Generation

Redefining gender is a hot-button issue that parents, church leaders, and counselors must address in our modern culture. Girl Defined is a helpful tool for girls and women who are struggling to understand their God-defined femininity . The authors share their personal struggles and offer solutions found in Gods Word. Clear analysis of the problem sets the stage for solution-oriented teaching from Scripture. The application section at the end of each chapter makes this a practical study tool for individual or group use. Biblical counselors will find this a helpful resource.

Randy Patten , training director emeritus at the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors and founder of TEAM Focus Ministries

Girl Defined is a book I would have devoured when I was embarking on my own journey of womanhood. I longed to read something written by young women who werent satisfied with Jesus being an add-on to their culturally comfortable lives. This is that book. Read and find the courage to be a woman who refuses to be defined by anything but Gods beautiful design.
