I was disappointed with this book. I was really looking forward to a book with great advice and tools to use as a mother to raise my daughters into strong young women for God. However, that is not what I found. This book seems to be written more for the young girls (between 10 and 20 years old) to use as a study with aid from older women. Not only did I not get anything from this book that I can use to help me in fulfilling my role of raising up my daughters in the Lord, but there were large parts of what she taught to these young ladies that I disagree with.

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!!! ( )

NO OF PAGES: 226 SUB CAT I: Family SUB CAT II: Ethics SUB CAT III: Women's Issues DESCRIPTION: More than a fill-in-the-blank Bible study, Raising Maidens of Virtue is an engaging tool for mothers to use in training daughters who are approaching womanhood to think biblically. Through stories, allegories, illustrations, and memory-making projects, Raising Maidens of Virtue covers topics such as guarding the tongue, idleness, sibling relationships, honoring parents, contentment, modesty, purity, cleanliness, and feminine biblical beauty.

Godly women are not born, but raised. Stacy McDonald has in this work equipped parents to be about the business of raising up rubies, or rather, that which is more precious still, our daughters. She is a faithful guide, for she is a godly example. - Dr. R. C. Sproul, Jr., Pastor, Director of the Highlands Study Center , and most importantly, homeschooling father of six

In the face of our culture?s shameless enticement of young women to view their identity and worth only in terms of their sexuality, Stacy McDonald passionately challenges mothers and daughters together to return to a pure and gracious femininity for the God who made us uniquely for His glory. -Tracy Klicka, wife of Sr. Counsel for HSLDA, Chris KlickaNOTES: Purchased online from Books On the Path.
