"Now is the time for a return to virtue!"
The attribute and value of Virtue has been added to the Young Women theme. "Virtue is a pattern of thought and behavior based on high moral standards. It encompasses chastity and moral purity."
The time has come for the young women of the Church to lead the world in a return to virtue. This is the time to be pure and to qualify for the guidance of the Holy Ghost. In the coming year, it is our desire that all young women and their leaders focus on the meaning of virtue, what young women can do to accept and act upon this value, and how this attribute can strengthen young women as they prepare to be worthy to make and keep sacred covenants and receive temple ordinances.
This all means more to me now that my daughter will be turning 12 soon. I want so much for her to have a happy life and I know that the road to the future is not an easy one. I want her to learn to believe in herself. I want her to learn to love herself. I want her to learn the value of living a good life. I know that I will be using this book for many future discussions that we will be having as Mother and daughter.
I hope that you will read "Women of Virtue". This book is written so you can pick it up and read any chapter that you want, in any order. Jodi's style of writing is easy and free flowing. I also loved how many personal stories she shared throughout the book.
As you read this book, you will feel as I did, that Jodi was inspired from above in writing every page of this book.

Thank you for this review. I think this book is a necessary read in our day and age. I have 6 granddaughters I want to read "Women of virtue".
ReplyDeleteThank you for highlighting this lovely book by Jodi Robinson. We read about the inestimable value of a "virtuous woman" and hear the call to be such a person, and this book appears to not only set that standard, but helps us recognize it in our lives and reminds us to applaud this quality in others.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a wonderful book. Even though I can not read it to my daughter it sounds like it would be a nice book to give to friends and family with young girls.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a must read. I have a lot of teenage cousins & their Moms that I will want to recommend it to also.
