Publisher's Description
Every mother wants her daughter to love the skin she's in, to be free of insecurity and poor body image. But no matter how much we try to tell our daughters that they are beautiful and lovable as they are, words are not enough. And if we're honest, we don't always set the best example of being body confident. Until we truly see ourselves as good enough, our girls will struggle. With deep compassion, Maria Furlough delves into the root causes of our insecurity, offers biblical guidance for seeing ourselves as God sees us, and shows how to model our newfound confidence to our impressionable daughters. Speaking as a daughter, a youth leader, and a mother, Furlough shares her own struggles and triumphs, as well as expert advice from a pediatrician, a nutritionist, a Christian counselor, and more. What we say to our daughters might last a moment. What we show our daughters lasts a lifetime. With God's help, we can put aside our obsession with bodily perfection and refocus on becoming and raising godly women.

With humility and wisdom, Maria shows us how to surrender our insecurities and take hold of the confidence that is ours in Christ so that our daughters can do the same. Packed with practical tools and powerful application, Confident Moms, Confident Daughters is a lavish gift for any woman who wants to raise a girl who can look in the mirror and smile at what she sees. As a mom of three daughters and a mentor of many more, I’ll be returning to these pages again and again.”
“In Confident Moms, Confident Daughters, Maria reminds us that moms must live in transparent, healthy, and life-giving ways if we desire to raise girls who lean more on truth than on toxic mindsets and wayward cultural beliefs.

“In Confident Moms, Confident Daughters, Maria Furlough invites women to step into a new story of courage that radically redefines beauty and encourages our next generation of young women to rise up in godly strength, embrace a biblically accurate perspective of self, and pursue Christ-centered confidence.”
“Confident Moms, Confident Daughters is a much-needed resource for all of us in our journey to raise confident daughters. How can we lead them if we aren’t living it out ourselves?

You will laugh, shed some tears, and gain confidence in what true beauty really is—in fact, it’s already yours to have!”
