Principles not Legalisms
In focusing on the principles behind modesty, A Beautiful Mystery stays away from specific rules so that you can fill in the standards of dress for your family. Likewise, sensitive subjects are touched on in a way that treasures your daughter’s girlhood, leaving it to you to elaborate on the joys and wonders of the marriage relationship as you think appropriate. The opportunities for meaningful conversations are a great reason to read this book with your daughter!
Recommended for read-aloud to children 8-12
or to read on your own, ages 13 and up!
From the back cover:
Do you love mysteries? Do you enjoy how muddy footprints and stray hairs help you figure out the end of the story? Have you ever thought of yourself as a mystery? It’s true! Some mysteries are scary. Some are sad. But you are not a scary or sad mystery; you are a beautiful mystery. God made you beautiful because God loves beauty. He is the ultimate Beautiful Mystery.
But what does all this have to do with modesty? Ah– there’s a case that needs solving! So, put on your detective hat, grab your notebook and let’s start gathering clues. Where? In God’s Word, of course!
