5 CONVERSATIONS YOU MUST HAVE WITH YOUR DAUGHTER a Best Seller for  Vicki Courtney

Award-winning author and speaker Vicki Courtney breaks the ice at #20 this month (September 2009) on the CBA Christian Living Best Sellers list with her latest book, 5 Conversations You Must Have with Your Daughter. The volume is also currently among the Top Ten best sellers in the Motherhood category at Amazon.com, in company with classics like What to Expect When You're Expecting.

5 Conversations (also the inspiration for this blog) urges moms to tell their daughters--from cradle to college--the truth about life before they believe the culture's lies. Vicki helps pinpoint and prepare the motherly discussions that should be ongoing throughout a girl's formative years. Addressing the dynamic social and spiritual issues and influencers at hand, Courtney writes several chapters for each of the five conversations:

1. You are more than the sum of your parts
2. Don't be in such a hurry to grow up
3. Sex is great and worth the wait
4. It's OK to dream about marriage and motherhood
5. Girls gone wild are a dime a dozen--dare to be virtuous

 Vicki Courtney, a mother of three, has become a leading "in the trenches" voice for concerned parents raising their children in an age of high technology and crumbling moral standards. The founder of Virtuous Reality Ministries, she has provided expert youth culture commentary on both CNN and FOX News, and she speaks nationwide at her You & Your Girl mother/daughter events. She is also the author of Your Girl and the award-winning TeenVirtue and TeenVirtue: Confidential books.
