    I've discovered the more I love a book, the harder it is for me to write a review...but I've gotta try!! I also have to add, don't let the title fool you, it's not what you think!

    First, let me begin by saying, I feel that though this book was written for young teenage girls, it would be a good read for any age and even relationship status.

    The book focus's on God, and developing a relationship with Him...so often we go after boys to fill the desire to be loved, while we ignore God, who has ever lasting love for us. Even if you're dating (or even married) the book teaches you to strive to have a close relationship with God because that's where true fulfillment comes from. Maybe you married young, trying to fill the need to feel loved, without a relationship with God, no man will fill the emptiness in your heart.

    Because this book is written for teens, it's super easy and not intimidating if you're hesitant and not sure how to deepen your relationship with God...

    Though I say the book is written for teens-it's not written childishly. What I mean by it is, it's simple;

    Dannah is a wonderful author you can relate to. She gets right to the heart of the issue and emphasizing that what you really need is a strong relationship with God because no man is ever going to give you everything you need.

    Included in this book Dannah walks you through a 10 day "love feast" and finally the fulfillment. She talks about guys and God and how we get them confused....we start trying to get guys attention, to get guys approval, all the while ignoring God.

    As I read this book, I dedicated every morning (before I even turn the computer on) to God. I spend at least 20 minutes, reading the bible, praying, talking to God and reading other Christian living books...as I read this book, I stopped caring about catching a guys eye (or even finding a guy)...My optimism, confidence and love for and desire to please God went up; this book helps change the way you look at things. And I would definitely recommend it!

    I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this book review.

    This book is a must read for every single Christian girl out there! I was struggling for a while being single and doubting if I'd ever get married. Dannah talks about excepting where you're at in your journey with Christ. It's not by accident you're single, God has you there for a reason. She taps into a girls heart and explains why we have this deep longing for a guys affection. It's challenging and life changing! A must read!

    I chose this book because I work closely in mentoring relationships with some fantastic young ladies. I finished the book wishing that there had been something like this on the shelves back when I was a single young woman.

    Dannah is writing in a way that is relevant to the young women in today's culture. This may cause a rewrite in 10 years, but for today, it's great. But let's get this clear, her anecdotes are relevant for today's culture but her message is relevant for all time. This woman is writing as one who has been there, done that and now she wrote the book! In a good way!

    She is addressing a major issue I have come across in my own interaction with young women which is their skewed perspective on love.

    Dannah starts out the book by identifying what she labels "the violent craving". Any woman young or old should be able to relate to what she's talking about. "The craving makes us all insatiably hungry for the attention of a guy..." She helps young women to see how the craving they experience is actually misdirected. Instead of being focused on guys it should be directed to our loving God and Father.

    She then moves into a 10 day love feast challenge where she lays out a daily plan for worship, focusing on God's word, and then she expounds on one specific idea. I love that she even includes the titles and artists to specific worship songs for each day.

    She wraps up the book with more insight on what a girl who is lost in God looks like, what a guy lost in God looks like and even what a relationship lost in God looks like.

    I am so very thankful that there is a book like this on the shelves of stores now accessible to young ladies. I will definitely be utilizing this book in my mentoring relationships and I think it is a great tool for anyone who works with teenagers or single women. If I was the mother of a teenage daughter, this would be the next gift I would buy for her. If you are a teen or young adult woman, this is the next gift you should buy yourself.

    Cure for the "Boy Crazy" Teen

    I was thrilled when I was offered a chance to review Dannah Gresh's new book, Get Lost. I was curious to see if Ms. Gresh handled the ideas of purity, dating and marriage for teen girls with the same flair I was used to from her. She didn't disappoint.

    For some reason, it had never clicked in my head about the part of God's curse on Eve/women where God told Eve/us our desire would be for our husbands. I guess growing up in the height of the feminism movement, no preacher would have dared to discuss it. Ms. Gresh makes a solid argument for this curse creating the craving (as she calls it) to have a man in our lives. This craving explains how even the most level headed girls will suddenly become boy crazy given a chance.

    Ms. Gresh doesn't stop there though. She does one of the best jobs I have ever seen of explaining how to turn that craving to God. This in turn will put us in a better place to make romantic decisions. As she often puts it, "A girl needs to be so lost in God that a guy has to seek Him to find her."

    This book is designed as a study/journal for an individual girl or a group of girls to do together. Although it is addressed to single women in their teens and twenty's, personally I think every woman (even married ones) could benefit from reading this book and re-examining their thoughts on love and marriage. Ms. Gresh includes a lot of practical advice and thought provoking ideas. A few of them I am still pondering myself.

    Ms. Gresh uses her own personal stories and lots of scripture to tackle not only subjects like purity, dating and modesty but also the characteristics to look for in a husband and the ones to develop in yourself. She also spends quite a bit of time explaining the different types of love and making a strong argument, that we are often choosing wrong because we are picking the wrong kind of love.

    Ms. Gresh spends most of the book tutoring girls on how to improve their relationship with God. She even asks them to "give up boys" while they are doing this study to clear their heads as they discuss her ideas. Although she never promises them a husband if they follow her advice, she does a great job of preparing them for Christian life and how to handle dating and marriage well when men do come along.

    My only major complaint about this book is her brief discussion (one box on one page) with girls who are not Christians on how to have a relationship with God. It breaks my heart to read a book whose author so obviously searched the scriptures, prayed and wrote so carefully about the subjects of love, marriage, purity and other topics, but then ignored baptism as a part of becoming a Christian. My prayer is that she goes back to Acts and early church history and discovers how essential baptism is in our relationship with God.

    My only other concern is that some more conservative Christians may be a little uncomfortable with a couple of her anecdotes about how the Holy Spirit worked in the lives of one or two people. Those incidents are so few, I think most Christians can accept the one or two they don't agree with as someone's personal interpretation of what happened to them.

    Overall, I believe this book would be perfect for a group of teen girls to explore not only why they want a husband so badly, but how to make sure how they are acting is in line with God's will for their lives. I would highly recommend this as a study guide for any group of teen girls. I would just have them cross out the "conversion instructions" or add an additional mini-study on the subject if you have non-Christians or baby Christians in your group. It probably would not hurt any group of teen girls to review how to become a Christian just to make sure everyone is on God's page before even starting the study in any depth.

    I was given a copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest review. I am painfully honest though, as you can tell. I loved this book and can't wait to use it to study with some young women.

    Highly recommend this book- my teen started reading over Christmas break and now she is digging into the Bible as well as taking steps to get closer to God. Thanks to Dannah and her awesome ministry!
