Girlhood: Pretty Is Not Enough

By Theresia Fuh Tabe

“Girlhood, Pretty Is not Enough” Is a great curriculum for young women. Its content encourages and challenges young women to be unapologetic in their faith. This two-part series is a great tutor to assure young women not to conform to societal pressure. The author uses engaging stories featuring women in the bible as motivation for young women who are sometimes bored to engage with scriptures. Young women are surrounded with noise and lies that; they are valuable and pretty only if they are popular and physically attractive. Physical attributes have nothing to do with one’s value. “Girlhood” is a most read; for young women to discover their uniqueness in Christ, using positive bible characters.

FOREWORD

Forwarded by Dr. Laura Ngwainmbi

The knowledge of what is right or wrong is a road one must navigate with clarity. As a young woman, outside voices can sometimes silence the inner still voice. The voice of the media has grown so alarmingly loud in this decade, that what it says seems to be an unwritten law.

How does one know the true authentic self, created by the Maker? How does one find the WAY from the Word when there are so many routes shoved daily into our way from the mundane pleasures of the world? How does a young woman keep her sanity in catching up with the trends? How does one stay afloat and not drown in the sea of vanity and relevance? How does one become the proverbial 31 woman without being fed into the jaws of a generation that has made self-centeredness its flagship?

The Bible tells us to Ask it will be given to you; seek and you will find; Knock and the door will be opened to you. Mathew 7:7 (NKJV) The Word asks us to seek Wisdom and Understanding. Proverbs 4: 5 (NKJV) Out of the pages of this book, you will find enlightenment and guidance. Let it be the voice that silences the numerous voices in your spirit

You will find out that you are uniquely made, crafted with a Divine purpose, filled at birth with the Spirit of God, undefiled to be used for God’s purpose. You may be at this moment feel defeated, lost and wondering how your journey led you to this place. Only our Maker can right our wrongs.

GOD is your Father, your Healer, your Redeemer, your Restorer, your Reset Button. If you find yourself on perilous paths, do not hesitate to turn back to Him. You are precious and honored in the sight of GOD. Isaiah 43:4 (NLT). What a privilege! You are a Masterpiece of Creation, a
