It sure is complicated being a teen girl. There's the guy at school who makes your heart pound and the family issues that never seem to go away. Add to that mix the exhausting biology class and life is just plain tough. This is a book about the basics. Using real-life examples and applicable Scripture verses, author Heather Jamison talks to girls about the essentials—rules, rags, and relationships—and how wrong attitudes can be changed into valuable lessons.
Just what is “real stuff”?
RULES • RAGS • RELATIONSHIPS
It’s all that stuff you have to deal with that can have you tripping all over yourself just trying to stay afloat. It’s the basics: rules, rags (clothes), and relationships.
Between that guy in class who makes your head spin and parents who seem to have forgotten that your life is your life, things can get pretty rough. That’s why Heather Jamison has written this survivor’s guide—to help you survive!
Going straight to the Bible AND using her own experiences, Heather offers advice on life’s essentials—rules, rags, and relationships. Her husband, Brian, and friend Henry Rogers chime in to offer a guy’s perspective, and dish up just about everything you’ve wanted to know about the male mind.
Basically—life can be tough, but no one has to go solo!
