Teaching Modesty


Modesty has been an issue for as long as I can remember. During my teen years I remember struggling with the desire to be fashionable and the desire to follow my Savior's teachings regarding modesty. It is hard, even for most Christian women, to remember who we are and to keep our covenants in regards to modesty.

I found a wonderful book called "Secret Keeper: The Delicate Power of Modesty" by Dannah Gresh. It is a Christian book with many bible references and a "Truth or Bare?" Fashion Test that we decided to implement in our home. It amazed me that I needed to revamp a few things in my wardrobe as well. I did not think I had any immodest clothes, but after reading this thought provoking book I found that I have several items that need to go or alter how they are worn.

The language and tone of the book is perfect for pre-teens and teens (not bad for moms too). I read the book in about an hour. I purchased it at www.ldfr.com which has many inexpensive books that are educational, LDS/Christian based, and also tons of classics like Anne of Green Gables, Emma, Stuart Little, etc.

I highly recommend this book!
