What comes to mind when you hear the word "maiden"? Some medieval girl? A young woman with modest dress? I'm sure it's something close to a fairy tale princess.
When thinking about how to raise our daughters, we want to instill a beauty that is more than skin deep. A lovely lady-like quality that makes her as kind as she is beautiful. That's what Stacy McDonald has tried to bring to our attention in her book Raising Maidens Of Virtue.
This book is meant for mothers to read and study with their daughters. Each chapter deals with a different lady-like, godly virtue for young women to strive for. The end of each chapter has questions for both to answer and suggested Scripture verses for you both to look up.
I believe that this book will not only strengthen the bond between mothers and their daughters while instilling feminine qualities into both of your hearts and minds, but it will also bring you both closer to the Lord as well.
