Magnetic: Becoming the Girl He Wants

by Lynn Cowell

Overview

Do you ever wonder…
What does she have that I haven’t got?
Why doesn’t he ask me out?
What makes her popular? Why not me?
  
Maybe it’s time to change the questions you’re asking. Maybe it’s time to ask instead: What does it take to become magnetic?
 
Packed with revealing quizzes, interviews with guys, and practical tools, Magnetic empowers you to:
 
· Move beyond negative thoughts, capricious emotions, and others’ opinions as you gain unshakeable confidence.
· Limit the draining affect of “girl drama” so you can invest your time in becoming the best you.

As you live out nine amazing characteristics—known as the fruit of the Spirit—you will not only cultivate an inner and outer beauty, but you will also hold an irresistible appeal for godly guys. Shift your focus from a guy to the Guy and become the magnetic young woman God created you to be.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for Magnetic

“This book should be read by every single Christian teenage girl (even girls past teen years who are single). It is brilliant in concept, full of scripture, easy to read, impactful, and will keep the short attention span of busy teens and college girls. I give my friend Lynn and this book my highest endorsement!”
—Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times best-selling author of Unglued and Made to Crave, and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries

“The message of this book is exactly what I want my teenage daughter to hear: ‘You have a deep desire to be loved and admired, but focus on finding the love of Jesus first. Focus on developing and living out the fruits of the Spirit. And that is what will cause you to shine before a watching world.’ Thank you, Lynn, for this personal message that every teenage girl will find magnetic.”
—Shaunti Feldhahn, social researcher and best-selling author of For Women Only and For Young Women Only

“In a culture where teen girls are bombarded with false messages about what makes them attractive to boys, Magnetic offers a different and Jesus-honoring way. Lynn’s engaging ‘I’ve been there’ style will draw teens in as they encounter a mentor’s heart passionately poured out on the pages. Full of biblical truths tucked strategically inside relevant stories, and laced throughout with practical ‘apply it now’ tools, this book should be in the backpack of every teen girl you know!”
—Karen Ehman, Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker, author of seven books including LET. IT. GO. and Everyday Confetti

“With the heart of a friend who gets you and a mentor who loves you, Lynn Cowell will help you (the girl God loves) become all He created you to be! In the powerful message of Magnetic, you will discover the balance between wanting the attention of a guy and embracing the unconditional love of the most important Guy! Learn how to laugh more and worry less about what others think, while developing irresistible beauty and investing in relationships that bring out the best version of the girl God created you to be!”
—Renee Swope, best-selling author of A Confident Heart and Proverbs 31 Ministries radio co-host for Everyday Life with Lysa & Renee

“Every girl wants to be magnetic. Every girl needs to read this book. You’ll find it entertaining and full of endearing advice. Lynn Cowell has provided the total package in this book once again!”
—Bekah Hamrick Martin, author of The Bare Naked Truth

“My friend Lynn Cowell really knows how to tap into teen girls’ hearts. Her book Magnetic is relatable, memorable, and breaks the mold of typical teen books. This book will be on the must-read list for my three daughters!”
—Nicki Koziarz, writer, speaker, and Proverbs 31 Ministries online Bible study coordinator

“Lynn has a God-given ability to reach the depths of a teen girl’s heart with the message of love Jesus has for her. Magnetic is an invitation for teen girls to trade boyfriend-based identities for a forever agape identity in Jesus Christ.”
—Erin Bishop, founder and president of the Whatever Girls Ministry

“Every girl needs a mentor who points her to true north and helps her navigate the challenges of life. Lynn Cowell is that mentor. In a world that offers so many confusing messages for young girls, Lynn gives clear direction and profound wisdom along the journey. This is the book every teen girl needs to read!”
—Jill Savage, CEO of Hearts at Home and author of No More Perfect Moms

“In Magnetic, Lynn Cowell has done an amazing job of guiding the reader in how to put godly desires into action. Lynn challenges readers with these words: ‘Your choices today shape the woman you’ll be tomorrow. Who do you want to be?’ I believe this book will help young women understand how the fruits of the Spirit make them magnetic, shining in their hearts and showing through their actions.”
—Sharie King, wife of Clayton King and author of True Love Project and 12 Questions to Ask Before You Marry
