A few details about the book;

Subtitle: A Timeless Guide for Christian Adolescence
Author: Mabel Hale

All Scripture Quotations taken from the King James Bible.

This book is very interesting, challenging, encouraging, with good advice for young women. It talks about truthfulness, obedience, a sunny disposition, home life, purpose, sincerity, the tongue, and much, much more!

Some, if not most, of the chapters have stories in it to explain it further. This is a book I would recommend for any young girl, and I've read it over and over again too. It was very hard to put it down the first time I read through it.

This is definitely a good book to have, and I really enjoyed it.. And I'm sure I'll enjoy it many more times.

While some aspects of Beautiful Girlhood may seem quaint and dated to modern readers, there is still much to be gained from its pages. The author, in her original forward, said,

This little book is born of a desire to help and encourage our girls who are struggling with the problems that come up in teens. Youth has its problems, its heartaches, and disappointments. It is not always a smooth path to the perfection of womanhood.
If what I have written should help some girl to a nobler life and truer ideals, then I shall feel that it has accomplished the task I have set for it to do.

Here is the blurb from the back;

There is nothing of more beauty and grace than the budding and blossoming of girlhood.
–Mabel Hale–

Girlhood, said author Mabel Hale, is like a half opened rose — charming the world around it with both the beauty of the bud and the wonderful coloring of the flower. Girlhood, she said, blends the sweet, familiar traits of childhood with the grace and power of womanhood.

Beautiful Girlhood offers godly wisdom to girls making the transition to womanhood. Though written many years ago, Mabel Hale's words have much to say to twenty-first century girls — on vital life issues like real beauty, responsibility, relationships, and dreams. The underlying message of Beautiful Girlhood, that every girl must consciously decide to develop godly character, is truly ageless.

In any generation, young women need sound, biblical guidance to develop the traits that will guarantee a happy, fulfilling life. Let Beautiful Girlhood show you the way.
