“The God who slung the stars across the heavens…whose very breath gives life…that God, the King…is absolutely wild about you!”
Every girl wades through questions of beauty, significance, the lies of media, and accepting and celebrating “God’s untamable love.” Wild About You is based on Angela Thomas’s book Do You Think I’m Beautiful? This kit includes a leader’s guide, which breaks down each of the six sessions with detailed and helpful ideas for making it relevant for your group. The DVD includes a teaching segment by Thomas followed by an interview with BarlowGirl. Finally, a student guide, formatted like a fashion magazine, includes articles and lesson notes. This curriculum is very user-friendly, with the DVD segments forming the main lesson—freeing you, the leader, to concentrate on discussion and relationships.
Wild About You would be great for a weekly girls study group or a retreat weekend for both middle school and high school aged girls.
