Why Would We Want To “Save Our Girls”?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One might wonder why a mom of three SONS would co-author a book called Raising a Modern Day Princess.
(Focus on the Family, co-authored with Doreen Hanna). Or ask you to join her to “save our girls”.

Well, I have spent a lifetime mentoring, discipling and equipping women and girls.

Hundreds of them.

And each year, I get more and more concerned about the world they face. Some days it is just HARD to be a woman of integrity, let
alone a girl pursuing goodness. They need our help.  (And God has asked us to mentor our girls: see 2 Tim.2:2, Titus 2:3-5)

Your daughters, the girls of the next generation, need YOU! They need me! Why?  Because their crown
is slipping! Consider these startling statistics from our book, Raising a Modern Day Princess:

  • One in three girls becomes pregnant before age 20.3
  • One in four will contract a STD (sexually transmitted disease)
  • Forty percent of girls at a contraceptive clinic are there without their parents’ knowledge.
  • One third of all teen pregnancies will end in an abortion.
  • Nearly one-third of all juvenile arrests are girls, and one-third of all property crimes are perpetrated by girls.
  • About one-quarter of all aggravated assaults are committed by girls.
  • Girls are more likely to be violent at home, and the victim more than any other is her mother.

(Watch this short video for even more on what girls face these days.  Read an excerpt of Modern Day Princess book at Focus  on the Family. )

 

So what can we do? What Can YOU do? (Pick any or all of the following):

Today’s girls need you . . can you help us “save our girls?”

Here is my heart’s motivation, my two granddaughters who I pray will be strong women of God in their generation- true Modern
Day Princesses
who walk as Daughters of our God, “The King of Kings”.

Together we can make a difference—for the girls!

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special  possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you  out of darkness into His wonderful light. (1 Peter 2:9)
