Believing You're Enough in a World of Impossible Expectations
by Emily Ley
Borrow Borrow

As she grows up in a generation that is busier and more distracted than ever, your tween girl will love the fun vibe and practical ideas in Grace, Not Perfection for Young Readers by bestselling author, creator of the Simplified Planner, and organizational expert Emily Ley.

Today's fast-paced, technology-driven society affects all ages, but it's taking its biggest toll on our kids. Does your middle grader feel compelled to participate in a ton of activities, be an excellent student, take a perfect photo for every occasion, and be friends with as many people as possible—only to end up exhausted and anxious? Help her adopt a new, life-giving perspective in Grace, Not Perfection for Young Readers.

With actionable tips and lists, this young readers' edition of Emily Ley's popular book reminds you and your daughter that God offers abundant grace every day. Emily's ideas include how to . . .

  • Create significant moments rather than orchestrating a picture-perfect life.
  • Pare down activities to what matters most—without FOMO.
  • Simplify life by simplifying three major areas: your space, your time, and your mind.
  • Create effective to-do lists and get through them one step at a time.
  • Perfect for back-to-school, Christmas, birthdays, and coming-of-age celebrations, Grace, Not Perfection for Young Readers is completely reimagined for a younger audience but still includes Emily's signature message. It's a great audiobook to enjoy with your daughter as you find your own new freedom in the adult edition.

    Timely and engaging, Grace, Not Perfection for Young Readers helps tween girls embrace the most important elements of life, trim off the superficial and superfluous, let go of unrealistic standards, and journey toward adulthood with the right outlook and tools to have a simpler, grace-filled, and happy life.

    Interactive workbook content to help listeners make changes to their own lives is available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
