Society throws a lot of ungodly stuff at young ladies today, and it is hard to find things that can empower them to godliness and greatness. In The Girl God Wants, author, Daniella Whyte, (age 14 when she commenced the writing of this book), helps young ladies with some of the issues that they face today. Oftentimes, it is easier for teenagers to relate to each other, and they are sometimes more eager to listen to the advice of their peers. With appealing chapters and her sister-to-sister style, Daniella shows young ladies how much God loves them and how to discover their gifts and purpose in life. In The Girl God Wants, young ladies will be encouraged to memorize Scripture through the "Scripture Says" section in each chapter. They will be motivated to act on their faith through the "Celebrate" section at the end of each chapter. They will also be challenged by the "Think About It" sections placed throughout the book. By the time a young lady completes this book, she will know: who she is in Christ, what her purpose is in life, and where her obedience to God can take her, and she will be The Girl God Wants.Here are just a few of the chapter titles that will encourage you to be The Girl God Wants:God Loves You, He Really DoesWalking on Water: Becoming a Woman of FaithDiscovering Your DestinyLiving on PurposeBig Dreams are a Big DealBe a Tough-Minded TeenThe Hidden Power of PurityTo Date or Not to DateLadies Always LeadLive a Great Life and Enjoy It!

One day young Marici wishes for a new friend, and along comes a beautiful goose. Their meeting is part magic, part fable, and part love. Based on an ancient Chinese tale, the poetic text is gloriously illustrated by Caldecott Honor recipient Stephen T. Johnson. Poet Gary Snyder contributes beautiful Chinese calligraphy to make this a book to treasure.

Placed by The International Board on Books for Young People as an outstanding novel for 2011, The Girl Who Wanted to Fly is being exhibited worldwide by IBBY at international book fairs. This absorbing narrative examines the problems encountered by a disabled teenager, Mo Tamworth, but the voyage of self-discovery charted in the story is not limited to the experience of disability. The situations are familiar to all young people negotiating the often confusing transition between childhood and early adulthood. Just as with other young teens, Mo must learn to respect others in order to respect herself. Although the narration is from the point of view of a teenage girl, it offers compelling insights which adults will also find entertaining and instructive.
