So Long, Insecurity ~ A Book Review



"So Long, Insecurity" is the teen version of Beth Moore's popular book for adult women. It is printed in a magazine style, that keeps each chapter short, sweet, and to the point.

The Pros:
    I'm going to start off by admitting that I had very low expectations for this book. I have read magazine style studies before, and found them to be shallow and fluffy, especially when they started to talk about insecurity, which is the theme of this particular study. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was not the case. Each chapter, though short, is filled with scripture, practical tips, fun quizzes, great discussion questions, and very little "fluff".

The Cons:
   The chapters were quite short. There were several times that I thought the author could have gone deeper into a topic that she was discussing and skipped some of the "fun stuff".

In Conclusion:
   I think that this would be a great  book to use in an environment where this book could be used as a springboard for discussion and further study, such as a Sunday School class, or mother-daughter study.

P.S.- For those that have Twitter or Instagram accounts, you can follow Tyndale Teens on each of these for extra encouragement!

*I received this book free from Tyndale House for my honest opinion.
