Would love your insight

I like to think that I'm pretty well-informed as far as women's Bible studies go. It sort of goes with the territory 'round here since I tend to, you know, blog about a lot of Bible studies and Bible study writers and whathaveyou and so forth and so on.
I'm not nearly as well-informed, though, about Bible studies for teenage girls. I know they're out there, of course, and I know that I could do a good bit of research right here on the LifeWay site.
But I also know that may of you who read here are very involved in your churches and women's groups and youth groups. And so I thought I'd ask you to chime in with your opinion(s) about something:
What are some of your favorite Bible study resources for teenage girls? What are the studies that have worked the very best for you in a small group setting?
Can't wait to read your responses!

While we haven’t done specifically in Bible studies for girls, I’ve read Annie Downs’ book, “From Head to Foot” and am discipling a girl through it right now and boy oh boy are those good words.
That may or may not help at all. But we plan on doing it this summer with all our girls. SO GOOD! :)

My daughter really loved “God Called A Girl” by Shannon Kubiak. It was the first book she read from which she shared excerpts with me. (Just five years later, she’s now doing the same with “Radical” and planning her career on the mission field in Central America.) She also really enjoyed just taking a single book of the Bible with her small group and leader; spending weeks just going verse by verse. They really loved Ruth and Esther.

I have taken about 80% of Beth Moore’s Bible studies. Each one has come at a point in my life when I not only needed to hear a fresh word or direction, but at a time when God reaffirmed His work in my life.
I remember meeting Beth in NYC a couple of years ago, she looked me right in the eye and told me I was very beautiful. She could have been trying to be kind but hundreds of other people tell me that everyday.
Until 3 years ago, what Beth and the others did not know that all those compliments made me very angry and scornful. My insecurities stemmed from years of childhood and check this out adulthood abuse too. Men and women always felt intimidated by me for one reason or another and thereby resorted to rejection or abuse if they were in a position of power.
The past three years have been a time of deep work and healing. God has shown me that I was made on purpose for a time such as this and I should walk in that purpose.
I am now realizing my worth and calling and stepping right into it.
I sure would need a hand to ‘Step up’… And since I attract lots of attention, in anything I do, what a forum to explain to those that would want to know, how I got my groove back.
God bless you and thank you for reading
