Loved and Cherished: 100 Devotions for Girls

Lynn Cowell is a part of the Proverbs 31 Ministries speaking team, speaking to pre-teens, teens, multi-generational and women’s conferences and retreats on a regular basis. Girls often come up to her saying, "How did you know that's what I was going through?" Hearing direction and guidance on critical issues they face, Lynn encourages them to reach their fullest potential by finding the relationship in Christ they were created them for. For the past 18 years, her ministry has helped thousands of girls and their moms:

• Replace loneliness, rejection, and pain with acceptance, affirmation, and approval.
• Make decisions that lead women to reaching their fullest potential, rather than being a victim to emotionally-based decisions.
• Shift faith in Jesus from a parental influence to a personal, growing relationship.
• Develop and stick to boundaries that protect the heart, mind, and body.
• Communicate with guys and other girlfriends in a healthy and positive way.

 In addition to speaking on the national level, Lynn reaches many through her writing as an author of three books, blogger, and devotion writer. As a regular contributor for the Proverbs 31 Ministries’ daily devotions, Encouragement for Today, her devotions reach an audience of over 800,000 subscribers. She has been a regular contributor for The Whatever Girls and The Mom Initiative. Lynn and her husband, Greg, of 30 years, are the parents of three young adults: Zak, Mariah, and Madi. The Cowells reside in North Carolina where they enjoy hiking in the mountains, wearing well-worn sweatshirts and eating anything that combines chocolate and peanut butter.

There are days when my daughter struggles to believe that Jesus really does love her.

I cannot wait for my daughter to read Loved and Cherished for it's encouraging, relatable, and applicable devotions will help her to finally grasp and embrace God's love for her.
