Letters to a Church Girl - Paperback

by Holly Ford (Author)

With a down-to-earth spirit of authenticity, Holly vulnerably shares truths about topics such as forgiveness, identity in Christ, entitlement, and the role women should play in culture. Holly takes off the filtered lens of perfection and shares how the truth of Scripture transformed her own story in a real and exposing way. These letters were written to inspire young women now, before they are entangled deep in the weeds of adulthood.You are a church girl. You've heard it all before. You've read the Bible. You've gone to church camp and revivals. You pray before you eat. You've always had the latest Hillsong album on your phone. But all of this is jaded responses to your religion. Church girl, it's time to wake up. It's time for you to realize your potential and allow yourself to be taught and equipped now instead of waiting until your today becomes a distant memory. These letters will challenge you to search for things that need to change and inspire you to take these seemingly cliched lessons and allow them to truly impact your life - now. It's time for it to stick.Whether you are waiting on results of your ACT's or trying to get through varsity basketball, these letters are for you. If you are drowning in your freshman year of college or ready to face the career world, they're for you. Planning your wedding? Starting a family? Yes, even you. Even if you are pushing thirty and just feel like you've missed something. These letters are for you, too."In Letters to a Church Girl Holly has focused in, with a determined ability that was born out of her own faith journey, on a significant challenge facing young ladies: attending church without being woven into the fabric of God's story. -BRENT CROWE, author of Chasing Elephants and Vice President of Student Leadership University"Holly addresses the ones who think they have "heard it all" because they are well versed in "church," she exposes how faulty our logic can be when it is not grounded in Scripture." -DONNA GAINES, author of Choose Wisely, Live Fully and founder & president of ARISE2Read // Bible teacher
