"My name is Sydnee and
I’m thirteen years old. My best friend introduced me to your series of books
when she let me borrow THE BODY BOOK. I read it and I was hooked instantly!
I’ve now read THE BEAUTY BOK and want to read all the others! I was very
pleased to find someone who keeps Jesus the center of their career. I try to
keep Jesus the center of my life too. I just wanted to say thank you for all
you’ve done! I hope and pray that you are able to continue writing, because
when I read your books I’m inspired to pursue the gift God has given me,
because I am a writer too! Thanks again and God bless!"
Sydnee,
age 13

"I was so
glad when I saw your website. I love reading your books so much. I got some
Christmas money and I spent all of it on your books. When I read your books I
don’t do anything else all day because I like them much. It will be so sad
when I’ve read all of your books. Please put this on your website. Thank you
for writing such good books."
Natalie, age 11

"Hi. My name is Alexis and I just want to say I
love your books!! I only have 2 from the Lily Books, but I still love them!! You
are officially my favorite author! I love to read your books, but everytime I go
to check them out at the library they don't have your books and everytime I go
to Barnes & Nobles they never have them, but I'm not giving up! I really hope
you reply because to me you're like a famous superstar or something because you
are wonderful at writing!"
Alexis, age 9

"My
name is Morgan. I am 12 years old and I live in the Bahamas. My older sisters
both read your Christian Heritage and Lily series, and I learned to love your
books through Sophie. I love the Sophie series! I've learned a lot about Jesus
through them, and my faith has been strengthened. Mrs. Rue, I was devastated to
see that Sophie's Encore was the last Sophie book. I just wish there was
one more. I would even be happy if I knew what happened to them. Did Sophie go
to film school? What about her and Jimmy, and her friendship with Fiona, the
Flakes and the Pops? Does little Hope have a bad case of autism, or is it minor?
Please answer my questions (or better yet right more Sophie books!)
Morgan, age 12
- “You inspired me to start a
talking-to-God journal. I write in my TTG journal every day now, and most of
the time it’s in the morning. I found out that the first day I wrote in my TTG
Journal in the morning I was in a fabulous mood for the rest of the day! That
was so a God-thing. If it hadn’t been for your books, I don’t think I would’ve
grown as close to God as I am now. To this day, I’ m gathering the God-details
and I feel that I’m on my own pilgrimage.”
Alexis, age 10
- “Until I started reading your books, I
really didn’t understand how to live a Christian life at all because my real
dad didn’t want anything to do with God. He would hurt my mom badly. I went to
live with my grandma for a while, and now my mom is remarried and living a
wonderful, happy, godly life. I’m living a better one now too because of you!”
Amber, age 12
- “I’m writing to thank you for the
incredible way you’ve touched my life with your books. I feel confident about
my relationship to God now, and I’m proud to be a Christian. Keep writing your
books – they rock!
Ryley, age 12
- “I started reading your books about a
year ago and I’m addicted to them. Now at night I have my little devotion
time before bed with my very own Talking-to-God journal. You don’t know how
much your books have helped me learn more about the Lord and have a better
relationship with him. Sometimes I ask myself the question, ‘Am I as developed
in my walk with God as Sophie is?’ I don’t really know yet but my relationship
grows stronger every day. Somehow you have really blessed me with your books,
God-wise, and I can’t ever thank you enough.”
Olivia, age 11
- “Your writing has really helped me
through my life, since Sophie goes through a lot. I learned from her to always
put God first in my life.”
Melissa, age 12
- “Your books helped me get closer to God
and taught me how to deal with everything about relationships from boys, to
self esteem, to hurt feelings. And most of all, these books taught me to talk
to God about everything, and that even friends are God-things! I really like
the quizzes too. They show me right where I am and what I need to work on.”
Alexandria, age 11
- “The reason your books are so great is
because they have little Bible verses and teach girls that growing up is and
can be a God thing. Your books really help me understand things that I was too
shy to talk about. I think if more girls read your books, then there would be
more daughters of God, less happenings with girls’ names attached to them, and
also less fear and questions about growing up. Your books taught me that women
play a big role in the world and without us it wouldn’t be complete They
taught me that each and every woman is special in her own way and that
womanhood can be fun if you aren’t confused or scared about it. My little
sister got one of your books, THE BEAUTY LAB, and it’s a good influence on her
because she is always worrying about what she looks like and what people will
think of her if her hair is messy when she goes to the grocery store. I think
your book is shaking her out of her platform shoes.”
Christina, age 12
- “Your books really help me out with my
questions and fears. I’ve learned to thank God for what He gave me instead of
praying for Him to change me. Your books really hit the spot. You are a
blessing!”
Ashley, age 9
- “Thanks to you, I have the best friends
in the world. No one calls me weird any more. Even if they do call me weird,
there are four of us that are being weird – just like the Corn Flakes. “
Livi, age 10
- “While I probably won’t buy any more of
your preteen books since I’m fourteen now, I would like to say that your
writing was a great influence. It did more for me than most other Christian
girls’ books that I had at the time.”
Hannah, age 14
- “Your books have transformed my daughter
Katie. She is 12 and searching for her own understanding of God and the world
around her. Your books have made a very big impact on her.”
Lezlie, mother of
a 12-year-old
- “These books have been a great and
trusted source of information and help to us as grandparents raising a
granddaughter. Zoe’s mother was killed in a car crash 2 ½ years ago at the age
of 29, and she was a single mom. Now that Zoe is a tween at 9, we really have
a lot of new issues to deal with which we haven’t dealt with in over 20 years,
and your books are so very well-written and have helped us to recall some of
the issues Zoe will be facing in the coming months and years. Zoe’s mother
gave her a deep and lasting foundation with Jesus as the center, and we want
to do all we can to build on that and give her wisdom as well as wings, so we
very much appreciate your Christ-centered approach to sometimes difficult
material. Anything with Nancy Rue on it is purchased without hesitation. You
have made quite an impression on a very hurting little girl.”
Wendy, grandmother
- “I am writing to you from Adelaide, South
Australia. My daughter Isabelle has just been given her first ever FaithGirlz
book from her Sunday school teacher. She is nine years old and is hearing
impaired and dyslexic so it has been a long road to even get her to read
anything. She was, however, instantly drawn to your book. Much to my
amazement, Isabelle has set herself the challenge of reading the whole book in
2 weeks, a huge challenge. A chapter a day she tells me! Your books are
wonderful and best of all they carry the message of Jesus and his love for us.
So thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Tania, mother of a
9 year old
- My 11 year old daughter Hannah and I have
been reading some of your FaithGirlz books together with devotional time. Each
time we read she wished the girls in her class were reading the same things so
things would be easier. This summer we have purchased 17 of your books and
plan to have a FaithGirlz Club. We are so excited to have 13 girls say
definitely yes and several more possibilities. We thank God for what you are
doing. Your books have been a wonderful source of information and guidance for
Hannah and I.”
Jenny, mother of
an 11 year old
