This book is amazing! full of scripture, activities, and encouragement, this book is a wonderful book for Mothers and daughters to go through. Also full of wonderful illustrations. - Elizabeth 11

Excellent Book--A must read for ALL Moms and daughters

This book is an excellent resource and study for all mothers and daughters to do together. While we live in a world where "less is more" in terms of clothing and standards for our daughters, this book helps remind us all that God has higher standards for us and we should be considered Maidens! Read this book and put into practice the way He intended for us ladies to be blessed!

A standard of feminine loveliness

This is an excellent study for mothers and daughters, or for older daughters, or just women who are seeking encouragement in their femininity. It seems to be written for a 13-17 age group, but older girls can be inspired by it, as well. Chapters cover relationships in and outside the home, ethics, ideals, homemaking, purity, and, of course, femininity. Most chapters include an anecdote, a discussion of the topic, and questions for further conversation. There are projects and activities at the back of the book, along with lists of other books and resources.

For parents wanting only the best for their daughters

It has always been a primary task of Christian parenthood that fathers and mothers raise their daughters to grow up exhibiting such moral values and personal behaviors as modesty, purity, cleanliness, compassion, industriousness, courtesy, guarded of speech, peaceable with their siblings, honoring their parents, and keeping faith with their God. These are all attributes ascribed to biblically based standards of feminine beauty both in appearance and in conduct. In Raising Maidens Of Virtue: A Study Of Feminine Loveliness For Mothers And Daughters, wife and homeschooling mother of nine uses stories, conversational teachings, illustrations, and memory-making projects to aid mothers in teaching their daughters on how to best comport themselves as Christian women and to deal with the inevitable decisions that will confront those daughters with respect to family life, peer relations, courtship, marriage, and all other aspects of womanhood in the world today. Raising Maidens Of Virtue is strongly recommended reading for parents wanting only the best for their daughters and seeking to help their daughters to want only the best for themselves.

A great study in feminity for moms and daughters....

I recently enjoyed reading Stacy McDonald's new book. I am a Christian homeschooling mom looking to encourage my young daughter to put aside the ways of the world and to take on the character of a godly woman. This study definitely suits that purpose. Although my daughter is still a bit young to do the study together, I personally benefitted from the instruction and encouragement woven through the pages of the book. The day will come soon when my young maiden and I can enjoy it together. For those truly seeking to be women who are in the world but not of it, you should find this study very profitable.

Biblical and Uplifting!

If you would like help in raising your daughters to live their lives according to God's Word, this book will be a wonderful addition to your library! It is well written,beautifully illustrated, encouraging and challenging. My oldest daughter (15) and I have enjoyed discussing all the topics brought up and have found interesting insights always backed with scripture. The author uses a gentle approach to exhort us to persevere in living as daughters of the King.
