I was a little unsure of what to think when I got this book but I have a young cousin who needs some guidance as she is growing up and sadly her Mom is just interested in giving it. "God's Special Forces: A Manuel for Becoming a Young Woman of Quality" by Darlene Laney is a book that will help give the guidance that any young Lady needs. I read it to make sure that it is something that would actually help, because many books that claim to help do not do it at all. Darlene Laney has indeed created a useful and age appropriate guide with this book.
The exercises and quizzes that "God's Special Forces: A Manuel for Becoming a Young Woman of Quality" offers ensure that the information is being taken in. The young lady who reads this manual is in essence studying but because of the way the information is given, it does not feel like it. In a world where it is too easy for young ladies to be led along the wrong path either by careless parents or where the young woman is that rebellious, this is a much needed guide. I am very happy that I got a chance to look at this book and I think it will be a very useful guide to help my cousin. I am sure she will be able to see that she is just as she is meant to be, a lovely lady of worth, and will act accordingly. I would recommend this book to any parent or relative of a young lady who needs some guidance.
