Faith, choices, and growing into adulthood

Organized as letters to teenage girls, Rachel Jankovic’s book approaches adolescence through a Christian framework, connecting faith and character with everyday decisions. Its subjects range from modesty, homemaking, and relationships with boys to pornography, physical boundaries, and tensions with church members. The mix of familiar and awkward topics gives the book a practical, explicitly religious scope, while its central idea distinguishes careless distractions from pursuits the author considers worthwhile. The book is presented as guidance for young women moving toward adulthood, with attention to both personal conduct and life in a church community.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teenage girls seeking Christian guidance on faith and daily choices
  • Parents or other adults looking for a Christian book to discuss with teenage girls
  • Readers interested in Christian perspectives on modesty, relationships, and church life

Book overview

Rachel Jankovic wants terrible teenage daughters. Not a wasting-her-time-in-petty-squabbles, doomscrolling, dumb television shows, eating disorders, and foolish crushes kind of terrible. But a different kind of terrible: to be women who are genuine threats to the enemies of God, "fair as the moon . . . and terrible as an army with banners" (Song 6:10). She is not easily controlled by flattery; her joy is in the Lord. She is growing from a girl you love into a woman you admire. In this book Rachel covers the topics you would expect, like Modesty and Homemaking and Boys. But Rachel also speaks directly to awkward questions such as Handsiness and Pornography. There's even a chapter on how to deal with self-righteous church ladies. Young women have all the time in the world for good things, but they really just don't have time to be dumb.
