the Lion and Bear

With a bold, candid voice offering peer-to-peer advice, these devotions help girls walk through the common stressors of teenage life and friendship while advocating for themselves in a Christ-honoring way. Strength to face the hard, the unknown, and the I-wish-it-were-different--from someone who's been there God sent a lion and a bear to David to prepare him for battle before he fought Goliath. In the same way, each challenge you face in life is preparation for the next one--even if you'd much rather avoid conflict altogether, thank you very much. Whether it's mean girl culture, peer pressure, a difficult home life, physical or emotional challenges, or the constant barrage of social media slights, you have your share of lions and bears to contend with! This 100-day devotional from Caroline Shankle is your compassionate guidebook for how to defeat those giants by trusting God one step at a time. Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, you'll learn how to advocate for yourself, lead rather than follow, and develop the strength to never compromise on who God created you to be.
