Liked: Whose Approval Are You Living For?

I was very impressed with this book! While it is geared toward teens, it is definitely appropriate for adults as well. Some of the points she made in the book were convictions to me and prompted change on my part. The book was well written, practical, and easy to follow. It also contained biblical based truths and scripture references which made the book even more pertinent. Her message is one everyone should hear, especially in today's social media driven society. I am looking forward to using this book as a study with my 13 year old daughter. I am also considering doing a small bible study with a group of her friends using this book. It lends itself well to a bible study format, but just as easily used as a stand alone book. I have recommended this to many of my friends. Thank you Kari!

In the age of social media, Liked is a timely book with wise words that speak to teen/tween girls, but truly resonate with women of all ages. Kari Kampakis doesn't preach, rather she lays out the truths of the world around us and God's truths in a way that is accessible and keeps girls reading. Social media with all of its positive and negative aspects is a fact of life, and Kari sets a path for girls and women to remember their true purpose and how to embrace the world around us and use it for good and for God. The book is perfect to read with a group or individually. It brings up many great talking points, and it is a must read for girls and women alike.

This book is perfect for my 13 year old daughter! Just the type of book we want her reading for insight this day and time. Recommend for anyone!

I want to start off my saying this book is such a good read. Currently struggling with today's expectations, demands and idea's of being liked for my teen daughter is draining as a Mom. I am beyond thankful I did not grow up in today's society. My heart shatter's for the lack of knowledge our kids have when it come to REALY life and socialism. I am in NO way trying to be a "negative Nancy" when I say this. Nor am I disregarding the Author in way. But I WISH there was an option to get this book with all of the same advice and information without the religious aspect of it. I can think of SOOO many places and people I would share this information and book with (including my daughter's school) if I could get my hands on it without the religious portions. Again, I am only saying this because for those who do not practice it tends to portray as persuasive and offense and that would NOT be my intention for sharing the book. Girls today regardless of religion face these struggles and deserve this information with just the clear facts.

This book is such a gift for myself as well as for my teenage daughter. Liked gives such good insight into navigating the waters of the teenage years. Filled with wisdom in approaching this tumultuous time, personal stories, and lists to reference, Kari supports all of these with scripture. During a time when girls tend to feel alone and misunderstood, Kari empowers with scripture that these girls can cling to. Finding your identity and being confidant in who you are created to be is just one of the many great points Kari addresses. I'm excited to share this book with the girls on my Christmas list. Thank you for another great book!

I wish I’d had a book exactly like this as a teenager. I’m excited to share it with my daughter! I’m so glad I found this.

Liked is an amazing book for teens and tweens but also for Moms as well. In the race of social media - Moms want to be liked as well and sometimes find more happiness in being liked on social media vs being unliked by their teenage children. Authentic relationships and friendships are ultimate goals for everyone and truly can't be found through social media. Kari reveals the importance of a relationship of love and acceptance with God the Father which is filling unlike the empty relationships social media has to offer!

This is common sense that’s no longer taught to our girls! I’m even doing a retreat for young adults based on this book. Definitely should be read by all teens, tweens, college kids - and re-read each semester!!! It’s healing for those girls who feel like they have to be in competition with other girls, showing how sisterhood builds us ALL up! Parents, teachers, nannies, nurses, aunts, grandmas should all read this so they can reiterate it to the girls.

Gave it to my daughter as she is in middle school to help her socializing.

😊 great would recommend for your teenagers
