Description
Deepen your understanding of God the Father with Strong and Secure, the 100-day devotional for teen girls and young women that explores topics like anxiety, self-esteem, and the pressures of everyday life and examines five key traits of God to guide you toward building an enduring relationship with Him.
The Bible tells us to think of God as a Father, but what exactly does that mean for teenagers and young adults who are forming their own identities? Strong and Secure considers the nature of the God who protects, heals, brings peace, provides, and is always present, and shows listeners how they can experience Him fully and grow stronger as His child. Through personal anecdotes, Bible passages, and practical advice, Strong and Secure illustrates how God is with you in your anxiety, grief, disappointment, struggles, and even trauma, and that He longs for you to find strength and security in His love, even when others let you down.
Strong and Secure:
- Meets young women where they are in life to affirm that they are loved by God and invites them to deepen their relationship with Him
- Refers to specific Scriptures that speak to God’s traits and paint a portrait of who God is
- Includes a section on how to use this book in everyday life
- Is a great gift for birthdays and graduations, as well as moments of struggle
Advance Praise
“In a world where our girls struggle to find security, Strong and Secure is a gentle, empowering book to help them find that in their relationship with God. Each devotion is short and powerful, and the interactive questions allow a young woman to make it personal as she sits with God in her quiet time. This is a book I'll place in the hands of the young women in my life.”
—Suzanne (Suzie) Eller, bestselling author, Bible teacher, co-host of More Than Small Talk podcast, and host of Prayer Starters podcast.
“Though this is intended for young women, the devotional applies to all ages. We need the truth and reassurance of God’s character and promises to sink into our hearts, and this book does just that. Strong and Secure has devotions that are just right in size to reflect on, sit with, and be satisfied in Father God's peace. We all long for His nearness, and these devotions bring us closer to God's heart while strengthening our faith. This is wonderful for young women who struggle to know they are fully seen, known, and loved to meet with the God who loves them completely.”
—Sarah Freymuth, content and storytelling manager, Fellowship of Christian Athletes; Proverbs 31 Encouragement for Today devotion writer

Through heartfelt wisdom and biblical insight, this daily devotional invites us to discover a deep-rooted confidence that comes from knowing our worth in Christ. Each day is a beautiful reminder that we don’t need to strive for strength on our own; we can find true security in God’s promises. This book is a must-read for teenagers and young women seeking to stand firm in their faith and walk with confidence through every season of life.”

As a minister, I now have a trusted resource to keep on my shelf and recommend to the many young women seeking ways to grow personally and spiritually.”
