Have you heard about You Can Rest by Katy Boatman? If you have a preteen girl, they need this book—and keep reading because I’m giving away a copy TODAY!
Preteen girls have lots to be anxious about these days, and Katy Boatman, who has worked with them for 15 years, understands that.
With an authentic voice and mentor mindset, Katy wrote You Can Rest to help young readers calm their hearts and minds by focusing on the one who brings true rest: Jesus.
Each day is structured with a Bible verse to open, a devotion to ponder, and a prayer to close. With journaling prompts throughout the book, this 100-day devotional helps readers reflect on their everyday anxieties from a biblical perspective, leading to hope in Christ. Topics include:
- Illnesses
- Isolation
- Friendships
- Schoolwork
- Appearance
- The news
- The future
- Being misunderstood
- Even falling asleep at night!
Take a peek at the introduction. Katy writes in such a real, personal way.
Packed with grace and truth and sprinkled with humor and delight, You Can Rest shows preteen girls that our worries and fears do not have the final say. Jesus does.

One of my favorite books in the Bible is Deuteronomy. And a favorite verse that helps me “rest” in Jesus is…
The eternal God is your refuge,
and underneath are the everlasting arms.
(Deuteronomy 33:27)
What about you? How do you rest in Jesus?
Happy Tuesday!
