We Are Strong!

I really liked the format in which Fay wrote this book. It follows the Young Women's Values. With the wonderful stories of young and older women learning these principles, there is something for everyone to relate to. I also love how Fay sums up the end of each chapter, by saying: 1)Why do we teach our daughters about the value and then 2) How to teach our daughters about the value. This book is one that every LDS women should read with their daughters or granddaughters. I'm planning on doing this with my 16 year old daughter.

Here are some of the key points that struck home with me. Actually it was hard not to quote the whole book. I chose some examples from the first few chapters and Young Women Values that were discussed.

Faith
-Where there is gratitude there is spirituality.
-We always have a choice whether we are going to listen and
obey the Lord.
-We teach our daughters to live by faith because
by faith we receive answers to our prayers.Why do we teach our daughters faith? To give
them hope. We share the key tool that will help them
bring about and recognize miracles in their own lives.

Divine Nature
One big difference between physical characteristics and divine
traits is we have the ability to diminish or enhance the divine by
the choices we make.
-As women of all ages, if we are not
watchful, experiences may confuse and entice us away from our
birthright—the beautiful, the sacred, and the divine.

I feel like it was a blessing to read this book. I"m so grateful for the opportunity to review it. I needed the guidance in this book to help me in my parenting as a single mom and to a mother of a young woman.
Overall, this book is my top choice for gift giving on Mother's Day.It's a timely addition considering what's going on in the world today. This book will change women and remind them who they are. It will lift women up and ingrain in their minds how important they are in God's plan.
