***Special thanks to Pam Mettler of Zondervan for sending me a review copy.***REVIEW: Written in the style of a young girl blogging to God, this puts Him smack dab in the middle of a junior high girl's life. Even though the writing is simple enough for a tween/teen to understand - reading as an adult there was still a lot of gems that would apply to my life as well. Each devotion is only 2 pages long with a short "Stepping Up" section that pretty much lays it on the line about how you should act in certain situation. What I liked was if the Internet came into play at all, they gave all the safety features you could install or what the proper etiquette would be online. It ends with a "Let's Talk" which is a short prayer you can pray. Would be a great gift for any girl just entering junior high, but I am going to share it with my high schooler as well.
