Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild (Mary Kassian)

$13.50$15.99

Inundated by popular culture, many women have lost their bearings and no longer trust their inner intuition which points them to the things that are good, true, and noble about womanhood. Since Jesus’ favorite and most powerful teaching method was by parable, Mary Kassian wisely uses the same tactic, walking her readers through the compelling tale of the wild versus wise woman found in Proverbs 7.

By using 21 points of contrast, the reader will be able to discern the difference between wild and wise. And then evaluate her own direction – is she living as a wise, biblically savvy woman? Or has she bought into the one our culture holds as ideal – the wild woman?

Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild will captivate, convict, and challenge women to become decreasingly wild and increasingly wise. Includes questions for personal reflection at the end of each chapter.

Girls Gone Wise

In a World Gone Wild

Inundated by popular culture, many women have lost their bearings and no longer trust the internal compass that intuitively affirms those things that are good, true, and noble about womanhood.

As Jesus’ favorite and most powerful teaching tactic was the parable, it is appropriate that Mary Kassian walks the reader through the compelling tale of the wild versus wise woman found in Proverbs 7. By using 20 points of contrast, she helps readers discern wild from wise, saucy from biblically savvy, and more.

Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild will captivate, convict, and challenge women to become decreasingly worldly and increasingly godly, and it will equip them with truth for that journey.

Includes questions for personal reflection at the end of each chapter. 

Endorsements 

“Mary Kassian speaks with rare insight, clarity, directness, and grace as she challenges the prevailing winds of our culture. She paints portraits of two contrasting kinds of women and sets forth a vision that calls women out of their dysfunction, pain, and deception, to walk in the light of God’s redeeming truth and grace.  This book is extremely important, timely, and needed. I cannot think of any category of women (or men, for that matter) who could not benefit greatly from reading it and grappling with these critical issues. A “must-read” for women who desire to honor God with their lives and to influence others to do the same.”

–Nancy Leigh DeMoss, author, teacher, and host of Revive Our Hearts radio program

“Girls today are growing up in a culture where “bad” has become the new “good.” The glamorization of bad behavior among young women has become the new norm and left in its wake a tremendous amount of fall-out and misery. Mary has penned a handbook for reversing the tide of the girls-gone-wild trend and replacing it with a new rank of girls-gone-wise. I can’t wait to recommend this book!” — Vicki Courtney, best-selling author of Your Girl and 5 Conversations You Must Have With Your Daughter

More Endorsements 

“Many women today are eager for mentors. While a book is never a substitute for a real, live mentor, this one does connect women everywhere to the wise counsel of Mary Kassian. And we should heed her winsome, culturally relevant, and biblically sound words in Girls Gone Wise. This book provides an accurate gauge of the current feminine perspective in western culture and contrasts it with the eternal wisdom found in Scripture. Easy-to-read, humble, humorous, and thoroughly sound, Girls Gone Wise is a book both long-time believers and new converts will benefit from reading. Highly recommended!”

— Carolyn McCulley, author of Radical Womanhood: Feminine Faith in a Feminist World and Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye?: Trusting God with a Hope Deferred

“Mary Kassian will help you navigate the over-exposure we experience everyday to messages that call us to be anything but what God created us to be as women. Her message will make you wise to that, and hungry to be what God intended. I think this would be a great book for moms to read with their teen girls. Though Mary navigates critical world view issues and strong theology, she does it with a conversational and contemporary note in her writing voice. You’ll never realize how hard you’re thinking. It’ll be too much fun!”

–Dannah Gresh, co-author of Lies Young Women Believe and founder of Pure Freedom Ministries
