Do you know that you are adored? You are! And Lindsay A. Franklin brings that to life so beautifully in her book, Adored: 365 Devotions for Young Women. Although I am not a teen or twentysomething, I soaked in the words from Scripture reminding me I have a purpose, and I have a heavenly Father who adores me and is with me through the daily adventure of navigating life and relationships.
Lindsay Franklin is an award-winning author, freelance editor, and homeschooling mother of three. Her personal tone identifies with pop culture (including a Spiderman application), yet provides instruction for a growing, thriving faith.
Lindsay says her purpose for writing Adored is so that we can learn more about our amazing God and His limitless love for us. Topics covered include:
What does holiness mean?
Where does our value come from?
What does God say about modesty?
How should I respond to bullying?
Does my reputation matter?
Why does God allow suffering?
What are spiritual gifts?
How do I combat sadness?
What does a Christian look like?
What does generosity have to do with me?
This is a wonderful book with 365 days of encouragement for the young women in your life. Published with Zondervan and Books & Such Literary Management, Adored is beautifully crafted with artwork and journaling space to nudge the process of building character and instilling values. It is the perfect gift for any occasion, or just a “thinking of you” day. I well remember that stage of my youthful walk with God, and how important books were to the shaping of my character. This is one of those books that is timeless in showing God’s promises are for each and every one. I highly recommend it!
I am giving away a copy to one reader in the continental United States. Leave a comment on my blog (at the top of this post, under the title) about one of the ways you know God treasures you, and you will be entered into the drawing to be held on Friday, November 10. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Isaiah 61:1-3 is my go to scripture to remind myself that even my ashes has beauty 😉
Isn’t that a great reminder, Mary! God sees so much more in us, than we see in ourselves. I can’t wait for the day when we can see clearly!
1Corinthians 3:17 “God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.” A few years back I was under spiritual, emotional, and physical attack. When I was reading my daily scriptures, this one seemed to bolden and go 3D on the page. It reminded me who I belong to and who will fight my battles.
That’s a great one to apply to the battle, Leann!
Leann! You’re the winner of Adored: 365 Devotions for Young Women! Congratulations!
Thank you very much Sally. I look forward to reading this one.
I love daily devotions that allow room to write! God adores me, this I know, because of Isaiah 41:13 which he showed me at a time I needed it. Then continued to show me over and over the truth of it! I claim his promise over and over as well!
Isaiah is packed with great promises. Thanks for the reminder that He holds my hand!
