Teri Lynne Underwood isn’t a perfect mom. In fact, if the past seventeen years of parenting her daughter have taught her anything it’s this:
Without Jesus, she’ll never be wise enough, gracious enough, or anything enough to encourage and equip her daughter to become the person God created her to be.
Praying for Girls: Asking God for the Things They Need Most is her earnest and engaging invitation for moms to join her — not as perfect pray-ers but as humble daughters of the perfect Father, interceding on behalf of the girls they love.
With Teri Lynne as a guide, Praying for Girls equips moms
- to identify and understand five key areas of their daughters’ lives
- to apply biblical truth to challenges and obstacles their daughters will encounter
- to pray with boldness and confidence using Scripture as the solid foundation for their prayers
- to engage their daughters in understanding and applying biblical truth to their own lives
Containing 200 Bible-based prayers as well as suggested activities and conversation starters, Praying for Girls is a must-have tool in every mom’s arsenal.
About Teri Lynne
Teri Lynne is the founder and head cheerleader at Prayers for Girls, an engaging online community for girl moms. While there are countless things she’s unsure of as a mom, there’s one thing about which she is certain:
Prayer isn’t optional!
A pastor’s wife, ministry speaker, and Bible teacher, Teri Lynne is a fierce enthusiast for lopsided living and is learning her busy life doesn’t mean she can’t be focused on Kingdom business. She carves out slices of time in between loads of laundry and reading the latest YA fiction to share about the things she’s learning, the path she’ traveled, and the way God is continually molding her.
She considers the day a success if these three things are involved: good coffee, excellent books, and lingering conversations. Teri Lynne and her husband Scott have been married since 1996. They have a seventeen-year-old daughter, Casiday, who is the best (and worst) of both of them. They live in north Alabama in a house under the control of their 60-pound basset hound, Buddy.
