_______________________________________________________________
If your life includes a teen girl you love and care about, well have I got a treat for you!
I’ve asked my good friend and Proverbs 31 speaker Lynn Cowell to join us and chat about her brand new book His Revolutionary Love. Lynn has a passion for Jesus and for helping moms and teens connect with each other and with Him.
She is one of the most generous women I know and often serves out of the limelight. But when she is on stage, be prepared to be encouraged and challenged by this gifted and engaging speaker, who is now an author too! Now, bloggy sisters, meet Lynn:
As a speaker and writer with Proverbs 31 Ministries, Lynn Cowell lives in North Carolina with her husband of 23 years and her three teenage children. The Cowells enjoy being outside whether it is hiking, fast pitch softball or white water rafting.
Empowering women with confidence through Jesus’ radical love is Lynn’s heartbeat. She is very excited about the release of her first book “His Revolutionary Love: Jesus’ Radical Pursuit of You”; a study for young women.
Sushi, well worn sweatshirts and anything that combines chocolate and peanut butter are her top three favorites.
Now, watch a quick clip of Lynn telling of her passion for working with teen girls by clicking here. Be sure to come back for the rest of the interview and her great giveaway!
What prompted you to write His Revolutionary Love?
When I was 19, I discovered a side of Jesus I had never seen before. I had known Him as my savior, shepherd and friend, but I was still looking for more. It as then that I found Him to be the perfect, unconditional love I was always looking for. I found He wanted to be more than the God I served; He wanted to be the God I loved.
Years later someone I dearly loved was going through her third divorce, I asked Jesus why that wasn’t me. He revealed to me that falling in love with Him had filled my heart and completed me. I had discovered young that if a guy doesn’t like me it doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with me. I already had God’s approval and it had nothing to do with me. Jesus is crazy about me and that is enough. Spreading this truth is my passion.
What is your greatest desire for the girls who pick up your book?
My prayer is that each young women who reads “His Revolutionary Love” will discover the Love that has always wanted them and that this Love will fill their hearts for a lifetime. I hope they will find confidence, truth and power that will ruin them for a mundane life. I want them to be ignited with passion for Jesus that will revolutionize their lives with real change.

I just came across this exciting giveaway and book on the Proverbs31 Ministry Facebook page. My hubby is the youth pastor at our church and I work a lot with the teen girls in our group. This sounds like an awesome book study for our girls and their moms.
Hi, I have a daughter that is 11 going on….16 of course. It’s scary to see her and her friends looking for Love (God’s unfailing love) in all the wrong places. I can see her going on the wrong path looking for that love in boys. I remember when I was a teenager I never felt full of love like I do now (now that I’m in Christ’s Love). I pray ever day that my daughter would take the path of Christ’s love and not looking for it in all the wrong emty spaces of the world like I did. I just don’t know how to approach it and this book would really help!! I would read it with my daughter and share it at our local church in our town that we live in. It would be such a blessing thank you!!!
I have 3 daughters and their many friends I would share this with. I feel God has put a desire/calling in my heart to lead a Bible/book study on something just like this. Thank you for entering my name!
I have struggled with helping my 10 y/o daughter grow up with a healthy self-esteem because I never really had a strong sense of self myself. I would love for she and I to go through this together. Knowing that God loves you and feeling it is something I would like for both of us to learn.
Remember that old song…”Looking for love, in all the wrong places…” I can completely relate! As the teen daughter of an alcoholic father, that was my life. Thankfully, the Lord stepped in and brought my future husband into the picture early! It would be another 12 years before I would find Christ as the answer to the hole in my heart, but at least He saved me the heartache of giving myself to a man other than my husband. My own daughter is now 12 and my husband and I are dedicated to saving her any doubt about where true love lies. I would give this gift to her, and hopefully would spread the love by hosting a small group with her best friends and their mothers. Thank you both for your ministries!
I have 3 daughters 15, 12 and 9. When I was 20 yrs old I became pregnant with Vanessa I was not married and scared, but I ask the Lord into my heart and learned about the Bible reading Alice in Bible land books to her. She is now 15 and loves the Lord. I married her father and we are so thankful for Gods faithfulness. I lead a womens Bible Study and I hope to start a young womans study as well with my daughter and her friends on the subject of purity and Gods unconditional love.
I would give this to my daughter, who will be 17 in a few months. She is struggling between her “church” friends and her “school” friends. She needs to know that it is ok to be loved by God and have all the friends she wants. But her true Friend will be the Lord. She gave her heart to Christ in January, and needs all the encouragement she can get to stay on His path.
This would be perfect for my teenage sisters. So often we look for love outside of God and then wonder why nothing satisfies us. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
I would give this to my almost 17 yr old daughter and have her share it with others. Her father died in June after a long battle. In January her great grandmother died and 3 months ago her boyfriend nearly died in an accident that she was involved in. She has been traumatized and is in counseling. I do see her pulling away from the Lord and she has many doubts. It kills me to see this happening but I do understand it. She needs to know that God does love her, and He has a plan n all of this.
I gave my life to the Lord at 11 but never truly knew him as the lover of my soul. I searched my whole life for love to fill and heal my heart and to make me whole, only to end up wanting. No man can fill the heart of a woman, not truly. Only Jesus can love us the way we truly need to be loved and it is when we are confident and filled with his love we find the love for ourselves and then we can find a healthy relationship with a man. I truly desire to teach this to my daughters who are 15 and 10 so that they do not go through life searching for a love that will not fulfill, but knowing that they have the Love of Jesus that will always fill their hearts and he will never leave nor forsake them.
I have three daughters whom I would share this book with. They are 19, 13, and 5 and while the five yr old may be a little too young right now it’s a timeless message that will still be relevant when she is old enough to appreciate it. It’s a powerful message that I believe each one of them should hear.
I would love to have this book for my 16 year old daughter. She is a girl who wants to know the Lord better, but has really been struggling with several issues this year. It would be a great help! God Bless you for wanting to help teen girls!
I would most definitely give this to my
teenaged daughter. While I am officially
only her stepmom, I regard her as my own
flesh and blood and have embraced her as
such. She has also reciprocated the love by
embracing me as her mom. Her legal
mother didn’t take care of her or love her.
I married her dad who received legal custody
once it was disclosed that she had been
sexually molested. It is amazing all that God
has done in my daughter’s life. She loves God
and clings to His Word.
I have a 12 year old who left her school due to bullying and it has been so hard for her to develop any self confidence. It scares me to think about what and who are out there to lead her astray.

I would give this to my daughter Jordan. She’s 17 and I believe she struggles to see where she fits in with God’s plan, his love for her and just struggles being a teen! I would love for her to draw closer to our Loving God. Thanks!

I teach 6th grade girls bible study class and this truth is so important in getting them to understand their identity in Christ. Thank you!!
This would be for my 14 yearold daughter. My husband was called to preach 19months ago and recently took a small church in an adjoining county. My daughter is having a very difficult time leaving the only church she has ever known and going to a church where she knows no one. She is a very bright girl and loves the Lord very much! But struggles with this change in our lives and why GOD would take her from the only church she has ever known, then there is the everyday struggles of being a teen that stands up for the Lord! I have been looking for a study just like this for her to do. GOD Bless!
I have an only child who is a girl. She is 14 and I would truly love to see her accept herself as God does, and accept and realize her God given potential. Teens girls desperatly need to know that their first true love is Jesus! I helped teach a bible study class for girls and they are so torn between the Lord and the world. Thank you for writing something esp. for them. I will give this to my daughter :)
I was well into my 30’s when I finally ‘got it’ that my identity is in Christ and not in men. This was my very struggle, I have a teenage daughter and niece that I have tried so hard to get them to not struggle in the way that I did. My daughter is currently wrapped up in boys and I need this book for her.
Thank you!!
I would give this to my daughter, Carlie. She just turned “Sweet 16? last week, and she is a true “God’s Girl”. She is the reason I gave my heart to God. When she was 11 years old, she looked up at me with those baby blues and said “Mommy, I want to go to church”. We went the following Sunday, and God has moved amazingly in our lives since then! Thank you Carlie : )

I have two daughters that I would love to grow closer to the Lord and realize how passionate He is about them!!!
thanks!
I would give it to Carly, my 17 year old daughter. Carly has had type 1 diabetes for 10.5 years. Last April, she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Carly has been ill with the Crohn’s disease-bleeding and extreme fatigue-until 8 weeks ago when the bleeding stopped. Carly has had a very tough year and her faith has been in question. She knows God loves her, but wonders why she must endure so much. She has learned who her real friends are and who she can count on. I know Carly could benefit from the gift! Her loving mother
I have two girls of my own not teenagers yet, but I have been recently called to work with the teenage girls in the church I attend. The ages range from 12 to 20 and we have just been discussing a book club. There is so much pain in these young girls from self confidence, past boyfriend experiences, unforgiveness and so on. I believe a book like his would benefit them very well because they are all looking for love right now and we are trying to keep them from finding it in the world.
