Moms Are Free at Faithgirlz Tween Event Saturday

Bestselling author Nancy Rue is hitting the road in 2011 to talk directly to tween girls and their moms about girl politics, individuality, body image issues, and more on Saturday, May 7 at 1 p.m. for the Faithgirlz  “Beauty of Believing” Tour.

The event, held at Hawthorne Gospel Church is sponsored by GEMS Girls’ Clubs,  Zonderkidz, and Hawthorne Gospel Church.

Rue has authored more than 100 books for teens and preteens including the bestselling Lily and Sophie serials published by Zonderkidz, the children’s arm of Christian book publisher Zondervan.

When not writing, Rue teaches workshops, conducts seminars and speaks at conferences, and serves as the primary voice of the Faithgirlz line from Zonderkidz. She has authored non-fiction titles in the Faithgirlz series to help girls “get real” on things like overcoming insecurities of puberty, mean girls and boy troubles, while maintaining a meaningful relationship with God.

Tickets cost $16 at the door for girls ($12 in advance at www.itickets.com). Moms and mentors are free. Tickets include full program, a free book for both girls and moms, craft, refreshments, worship with Colleen & Grace and more.
