Raising Maidens

Not to let the ladies who might feel left out by the masculinity of this website, feel free to check out some of these books that aren't perfect, but great reads. Even though you may not agree with everything said in these books, don't "throw out the baby with the bathwater."

Raising Maidens of Virtue: A Study of Feminine Loveliness for Mothers and Daughters
By Stacy McDonald / Books On The Path

More than a fill in the blank Bible study, it is an engaging tool for mothers to use in training daughters who are approaching womanhood to think biblically. Through stories, conversational teachings, illustrations, and memory making projects, topics covered include guarding the tongue, idleness, sibling relationships and more.

Be Fruitful & Multiply: What the Bible Says About Having Children
By Nancy Campbell / The Vision Forum, Inc

Can you imagine attending a wedding where the family and friends offered the above blessing to a new bride? Yet these words of encouragement, once offered to Rebekah on the advent of her marriage to Isaac (Genesis 24:60), beautifully communicate the heart of God's command to Christian husbands and wives that they be exceedingly fruitful and raise children who will influence all of culture and society for the glory of God. But why do so many Christian married couples chose to "cut off their seed?" What if any biblical basis exists for deliberately thwarting the birth of children? Is it ever "good stewardship" to prevent children on the basis of financial concerns? These and related questions are examined in the light of Scripture in this groundbreaking study guide for Christian couples.

Tender Warrior
By Stu Weber / Multnomah Publishers Inc.

As a man, God created you to be a leader, protector, friend, and lover. Now revised and updated with chapters on "finishing the course" God has set before you, Weber's bestselling book paints a dramatic and compelling picture of balanced manhood. Written in a warm, personal style, you'll explore the characteristics of a tender warrior and learn to speak the language of women, watch out for what lies ahead, foster friendships, and be an obedient and blessed servant of the Lord!
