You’re Designed to Shine is a great Bible study and resource for young women, especially preteen and young teenage girls.
The topics address relevant issues, from hopes and dreams, the importance of living life with Jesus and having godly friendships to choosing friends wisely. In addition, this study addresses how girls can be refined and transformed into beautiful creatures through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Some examples: One chapter covers giving back to Him; another encourages readers to follow the plans God has for them.
The format is scripted, lending ease to a new facilitator, but is easily adaptable to a personal style for a more seasoned leader. The study is relatively short and addresses topics relevant to today.
