Editorial Reviews

Christian parents of daughters should rise up in mass and call Mary Ruth Murdoch blessed. Her keen insights into the Scriptures are God-centered, clear, and geared toward practical application of biblical wisdom in the challenging task of raising godly daughters in an ungodly world. But Raising a Christian Daughter in an MTV World is not just for parents! Mary Ruth’s gem of a book is a rich source of guidance and encouragement for anyone involved in helping young girls grow into mature Christian women.

Carol J. Ruvolo

Helpful advice and suggestions, wonderful illustrations from real life, meaningful applications to the everyday world of a Christian young woman, and best of all, plentiful and unashamed use of Scripture as the guide and compass for parents raising teenage daughters.

Dean Conkel

Raising a Christian Daughter in an MTV World is a book full of truth and wisdom. Mary Ruth Murdoch is very incisive about what we should be teaching our daughters, but the true measure of this book is that she takes time to tell us how. As a mother and Christian educator, I am delighted to recommend this work to concerned parents and teachers.
