She Deserves Better Raising Girls to Resist Toxic Teachings on Sex, Self, and Speaking Up

This research-based, biblically informed book helps moms reject harmful teachings from the church about sexuality in order to raise strong, independent daughters who know who they are, use their voices, and confidently step into the lives God designed for them. You want your daughter to thrive--to be strong, confident, and equipped to step into the life God has for her. But what if the church is setting your daughter up to be small? Armed with data from an all-new survey of over 7,000 women, the authors of The Great Sex Rescue reveal how experiences in church as teens affect women's self-esteem and relationships today. They expose common evangelical teachings that can backfire--the purity emphasis that can cause shame rather than good choices, the dating rules that can prime your daughter for abuse, and the one overarching belief that can keep her from setting healthy boundaries. Instead, the authors advocate biblically grounded, freeing messages that are more about the dos and less about the don'ts. By reframing (and sometimes replacing) common evangelical messages to teen girls, this book will equip you to raise a daughter who can navigate the tumultuous teenage years while still clinging tightly to Jesus. You can raise your daughter with the discernment to resist toxic teachings. Because she deserves better than a faith that keeps her small. "Sheila, Rebecca, and Joanna are an all-star team, confronting the harm done to our daughters in both the church and the world. The title says it all. Full stop. Our daughters deserve better! This book is full of thorough research, refreshingly commonsense biblical wisdom, and practical help on how to talk with our daughters and prepare them for confidence and maturity."-- Aimee Byrd, author of The Sexual Reformation You want your daughter to thrive--to be strong, confident, and equipped to step into the life God has for her.
