{"product_id":"9781451415445","title":"Beyond Nice: The Spiritual Wisdom of Adolescent Girls","description":" Adolescent girls are at particular risk in today's society. They struggle to establish a mature identity after childhood and are barraged with conflicting messages about what it means to be female. In an often hostile-and sometimes lethal-culture, they also are subject to being exploited, harassed, manipulated, or even abused physically and sexually. But where do religion and spirituality fit? Davis sees spirituality as the realm where girls' ultimate concerns intersect with their daily ones-especially with relationships, lifestyle, and religious conviction. Here, based on more than 100 in-depth interviews with girls from a variety of religious, ethnic, and regional backgrounds, Davis shows how religion actually functions both to help and to hurt in girls' search for authenticity. Davis' interviews convey articulately and deeply how spirituality concerns girls' surmounting hurdles to ground and affirm what they become.\u003cbr\u003e Author Bio:Patricia H. Davis is Assistant Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, Dallas. She is author of Counseling Adolescent Girls in Fortress Press' Creative Pastoral Care and Counseling series.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Augsburg Fortress, Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174196527344,"sku":"9781451415445","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781451415445_p0.jpg?v=1763839775","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781451415445","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
