Summary: WHERE WAS "THE REAL DEAL" WHEN MY OLDEST WAS IN HER TEENS ??
Review: I BOUGHT ONE COPY OF "THE REAL DEAL" WITH THE INTENT OF READING IT AND SHARING IT WITH MY THREE DAUGHTERS. BUT BEFORE I COULD FINISH CHAPTER 1, I REALIZED THAT I MUST RUSH IT INTO THE HANDS OF MY OLDEST DAUGHTER, PROMPTO !!! SO THIS REVIEW HAS TO REMAIN A 'REVIEW-IN-PROGRESS', BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT SPAN OF TIME. I AM PURCHASING 12 COPIES SO I CAN MARK UP ONE, GIVE 2 TO MY YOUNGER DAUGHTERS, AND GIVE THE REST TO OTHERS WHO ARE TRAVELLING THE BUMPY ROADS OF TEEN RAISING. FROM THE INTRODUCTION THROUGH CHAPTER 1, I FELT AS IF MRS. COOK WAS SITTING IN MY LIVING ROOM CHATTING WITH ME AND MY DAUGHTERS. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT BOOK FOR A YOUTH RETREAT OR WEEK-TO-WEEK SEMINAR. A SECOND PRINTING CAN'T BE BUT FAR OFF. I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO FINISH "THE REAL DEAL" !!!

Summary: Let Your Spirit Soar
Review: THE REAL DEAL: A SPIRITUAL GUIDE FOR BLACK TEEN GIRLS by Billie Montgomery Cook is a book that advises teen girls how to overcome any and every obstacle that comes their way. In a society where how you look determines who you are, it is essential for impressionable black teen girls to know that their appearance should not validate who they are. Important topics covered consist of: body image, self-respect, sex and friendship which allows girls to see how a young Christian woman should handle these situations. Girls learn how to indulge in self-love, self-respect and self-worth. Each chapter is told in a way that's easy for teens to understand and at the end of each chapter is a prayer, a section which asks questions that require the reader to do a little soul-searching and a section for the reader to write their own prayer.
An essential part to every household with a teen girl, THE REAL DEAL enables teens to dig deep inside their spiritual selves to find answers to life's most common problems. What I enjoyed most about this book is that although it was written with teen girls in mind, it can also be used by adult women who suffer esteem issues or who aren't sure how to overcome various hurdles that come their way. Reading this book enabled me to do a little soul-searching and because of it I am stronger in my faith.

Summary: You must read this!
Review: This book is simply an essential tool in guiding you or your teen to a stronger level of self-respect, self-love, and a true relationship with Christ. I highly recommend it as a tool to engage in dialogue at home as well as at church or school. It easily bridges the gap between any age group, and proves that parents can, indeed, understand!
