Rebekah: I love this question, because one of my very favorite things to do is read; I’m always on the lookout for more great books. It is through reading a fantastic book for daughters that the Lord showed me His will for my life as a Christian girl. I received So Much More by Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin for Christmas in 2006, and it forever changed my life. Through reading it, I first became introduced to the concept of stay-at-home daughterhood and came to realize the calling on my life from the Lord. I had never realized how feministic I was in some of my thinking until I read that book. It is an absolute must read for every Christian woman. I cannot recommend it enough! Other outstanding books that have been a blessing to me include Raising Maidens of Virtue by Stacy MacDonald, The Basket of Flowers by Cristoph Von Scmhid (this is a delightful treasure from Lamplighter Publishing), and In My Father’s House: A Vision for Daughters, selected and edited by Tamara and Naomi Joy Valine. In My Father’s House is a must-read collection of essays from the 1800s on topics such as what daughters should spend their time on following graduation, what sort of things they should learn, how they can be a blessing to their families, how to prepare to be a godly wife, how to be fruitful while single, and more. It truly is a treasure! I also just received Miss Jasmine Baucham’s new book, Joyfully at Home. It, too, is proving to be a delightful encouragement.

Biblical Daughterhood Interview Part 2
Hello, ladies! A couple months or so ago, I posted part 1 of an interview a dear friend, Miss Elizabeth over at Joyful Jewels 4 Jesus conducted with me. I hope you enjoyed that! Here, today, is part 2. Praying that it will be a blessing.
JJ4J: What are some books that have been encouraging to you as a daughter?

Hey, Ashley! Thank you so much for alerting me to the problem. It should be fixed now. I appreciate your help! :)

Hello, dear Miss Rebekah! (I was sent by Grace for an extra entry in the wonderful giveaway) :-)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say that you are a great encouragement to me - I, too, am an 18-year-old stay-at-home daughter, and it's always nice and encouraging to find others!
Many blessings and much love in Jesus,
