(BIRMINGHAM, Ala.)—September 1, 2010—Following the author’s popular book Becoming a Woman Who Pleases God, this new volume for young women explores—in the context of the teen years—the timeless issues of building godly character.

Becoming a Young Woman Who Pleases God: A Teen’s Guide to Discovering Her Biblical Potential (978-1-59669-240-4, $14.99, N094136) takes a solidly biblical approach to practical aspects of a young woman’s life. As today’s teens are thrust into a world which demands a flexibility for which many are not prepared, the content of this book addresses real issues with biblical wisdom.

“I wrote Becoming a Young Woman Who Pleases God because of the number of requests that I received from readers of the adult version, Becoming a Woman Who Pleases God, for resources for teens to guide them before they make significant life mistakes,” says Pat Ennis. “Since the content of the book will actually assist women of all ages in knowing God’s special love for them, the lives of moms and ministry leaders who use the book with their teens will also be enriched.”
