When my older daughters were younger I had a book called Keepers of the Faith.
It is a handy book that I used to teach my daughters life and homemaking skills and conveniently all in a little pink book for inspiration. I wanted to share about it today because some of you, if you have heard about it, might not realize that there are Keepers of the Faith Girl Clubs all around the U.S. that you can join.
Not only can you use this book as part of a club but you can do this book on your own (mother and daughter), as homeschool curriculum, or with a friend or two.

You can view a sample PDF here.
They even have one for 4-6 year olds called Little Keepers at Home.
If you can’t find a club in your location, you might want to consider starting one yourself! It makes for a fun fellowship time while getting in some valuable learning.
There is also one for boys called Contenders of the Faith.
You can find it here.
I hope these books are a blessing to you and your family!
