As a mama to four daughters, I know how important it is that my girls have high self-esteem. My daughters need encouragement, to know how good they are – not in a boastful way. How you feel about yourself has a huge impact on the choices you make. Poorer choices are made by those that feel they are not worthwhile; that nobody cares. Even when a young woman knows the better choice, choosing it is harder. I know much of this first hand from my own experiences as a young woman. Teaching my girls, leading them to the better choices is not enough. They must feel they are important enough — dear enough — that choosing better matters.
I was so excited to learn of the new magazine from the HEDUA family for our precious daughters. Knowing that the message and intent of Dear Magazine is inspired by a love for God, I am not worried about the message of the magazine. This is not your usual geared-to-teens magazine with all the stereotypical messages of what is beautiful or worthwhile. All the elements of the magazine, photos, articles, topics are God honoring. This is a magazine that will encourage your daughters, not make them feel “less than”.
Dear Magazine is something my daughters need and want to read. We enjoy many magazines and subscribe to quite a few. I have not found any among the mainstream that I approve of for my daughters. Something that delights and encourages them where they are now, growing and trying to figure out what the Lord’s plans for their lives are. This is it!
Dear Magazine is what I want to catch my girls reading, after their Bible.
Every young woman is dear. But not every young woman realizes this truth. Jenny Keliher has a passion to encourage young women to discover that they are dear. She wants to “show young women that they are dear in every sense of the word and in every area of their lives.”
So, who is Jenny? Daughter of Well Planned Gal Rebecca Keliher, Jenny is a young woman who has been taught to chase her passions and use her talents to God’s glory.
In an effort to reach teenagers world-wide with the message that they are dear to God, Jenny has created Dear Magazine. This beautiful product combines Jenny’s heart for the Lord with her love for literature, baking, and design.
Designed for young women ranging in age from thirteen to twenty-one, Dear covers everything from faith to fashion, from relationships to entertainment. But nothing about these topics fits the societal norm. Instead, each article reminds young women that everything they do should reflect the dear woman God has created them to be.
In each issue of Dear, young women will find much to challenge them and spark their interest, such as:
– the biography of a historical hero, beginning with Amy Carmichael
– women’s awareness topics
– do-it-yourself sections
– recipes
– fashion tips
– spiritual growth encouragement
– encouragement and advice for growing in maturity
– discussions on relationships with friends and family
– entertainment suggestions
