This book is written for the simplest possible audience. I can understand why she would write at that level. It works splendidly for explaining things clearly and in a straight forward manner if your new to your faith or a young girl. Anyone with a degree of maturity in either area might find that simplicity trite. But I think it's worth accepting unsophisticated writing because she has things worth saying.
She asks her reader to consider interesting things; some obvious, some subtle, all worth asking about who you want your daughter to be, how to encourage that in love and the things she's learning simply by watching how you live. And all of her ideas and questions are founded in solid, accurate theology which in a book of this nature is the most important thing.
One thing I liked is that [a:Susie Shellenberger|39634|Susie Shellenberger|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-F-50x66.jpg] also makes these things practical. The entire second half of the book is a Bible study of 1 John for mother and daughter to walk through together.
