Hello all, I went to the vision forum web site in search of the book Raising Maidens of Virtue (it was recommended by a friend) but they said it was not available. I was wondering if anyone had one I could borrow or buy? Please email me at marybeth74@windstream.net if you do…I sure would love to read with my daughter. Is there a similar book for boys? Thanks abd have a blesses day …… Beth

Thank for such a wonderful list!

We own Polished Cornerstones, but I was looking for advice regarding which skills based curriculum/information to add to it. What are the differences in Pearables Home Ec, Far Above Rubies, TODKAH & Keepers at Home? What are the strengths over buying one of these programs/books over the other?

Thank you again
In Him

Thanks for this list! I will be buying books like these, a little bit at a time, and as the budget allows. May I also suggest books by Nancy Wilson of Canon Press? The only two I have actually read are Building her House and The Fruit of Her Hands. I really learned alot from them both and will be reading them over again soon to really drive home their messages. I would suggest these for older teens or girls who are ready for the issues within marriage.

Thank you for sharing these! So helpful! Even though this blog is for girls, I’d love to see a list for boys as well!

What about boxcar books? My 8 year old daughter loves to read. She reads Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Bobbsey Twins, & Boxcar books, as well as American Girl books. My husband and I have recently been discussing books, but honestly we can’t afford to buy alot of books new, so we use what our local library has. Does anyone have any input on these type of books?

Hi Erin,

Polished Cornerstones focuses their lessons around upon godly character. It is excellent and has a multitude of projects to pick from to encourage what they are trying to teach. You can get a discount from them using a Raising Homemakers here:

http://www.doorposts.com/homemakersblog.aspx

Training Our Daughters to be Keepers At Home-is a 7 year curriculum with the focus on teaching domestic arts and skills. There is also encouragement to live a godly life from an amish perspective.

If I had to choose one it would be Polished Cornerstones. But it depends on what you are looking for, much of the skills in TODTBKOH can be found at your local library such as sewing, canning, hospitality, etc.

Many blessings…
