Daughters, You Are Special: To Love and Be Loved by Our Heavenly Father

God loves and values the women He has created. Each one of His special daughters belongs to Him and is eternally exceptional and unique in His eyes.

A Discovery of Real Love! In an inspired guidebook, ordained minister Sandra Gatlin Whitley invites girls and women to embark on a beautiful journey to discover who they are, who they belong to, who loves them, and ultimately how to enjoy healthy relationships with God and others. While learning how to apply their identity, worth, and values as His image-bearer, girls and teens will also gather an understanding as to who they are according to the God’s purpose for them. You are God’s special treasure given an inheritance of royalty. An included epilogue provides action strategies for parents, teachers, mentors, and all those who influence the lives of young women.

Daughters, You Are Special shares advice and encouragement that guides Christian girls and young women to discover their true identity, worth, and value in the scriptures while remembering that they are—and always will be—beautiful and unique in God’s eyes. “That’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you! I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you” (Isaiah 43:4, MSG).
