Positive books for girls.....when they grow up......

These books are both faith based and secular.  They can help girls see things from a realistic standard of life.  I DON'T like to learn to much from the "Far-right" and I don't like to learn too much from the "Far-left"....  but gleaning the "meat" from both sides, brings the "good fruit."  Furthermore, in child-bearing stages a woman is left to rely on information that may be religious in nature and it may be secular in nature.

It is good to assume that a woman that is strong can be a proverb's 31 woman.  But she may also be a stay-at-home-wife/mom and/or homemaker.  It is OK to be single.  It is OK to be really smart.  It is OK to have lots of children (including adopting children in troubled situations).  It is OK to live-off-the-grid.  It is OK to interact with modern technology. 

BUT.

It is NOT OK to be a lazy woman and ask others to do things you can do yourself or for someone else.  It is not OK to work outside the home to abandon your own space and your children's hearts.  It is not OK to be single just to mess around with other women's husbands.  It is not OK to purposefully make yourself into a fool.  It is not OK to abort or abandon needy children or make gossip about women who have more than "two children".  It is not OK to stay-away from the world when the world could use your talents.  It is not OK to interact so much with technology that you believe IT will ultimately solve humanity problems (when bible/prayer and old-fashioned ways still work)........ 

The point is....to be a value as a woman.....think biblical and reasonably of others!

Here are a few books:



This book has a basic secular-layout (so make sure you tell your daughter this).  However, it has a lot of "up-to-date" information that is important in our society.  If you don't agree with a certain thing because of faith, convictions, family-troubles-history or something, be sure to address this issue (Note: Mayim is Jewish and she expresses this off and on.  During the Holocaust girls and women who were Jewish and/or minority were treated horribly by the Nazi's.....same with women in slavery and other situations...things of that sort can be discussed at a college level....)  (There is a book for boys available too)



She offers reality of the way a general MAN will behave in a marriage and what to "look out for" in a future spouse.  Although she uses the bible, sometimes she may use the bible with poor-exegesis, making a woman believe that her "Worth" only comes from her husband.....which it actually comes from CHRIST. (Note: Debi encourages people to home-educate, which is actually good for the home and family, but some families do have weaknesses, troubling jobs, persecutions etc., so we will still need "institutional" education, especially in 8-14 years old....so I would recommend considering private school resources.)



 

This is all-in-all a really good book.  It offers great advice on how to ensure that a girl has HER heart right before God before pursing a relationship with a future spouse!  I can say this, if a daughter is not "angry" at her family (including those wayward cousins) and good friends, she WILL have a good chance of making a good marriage.  (Note: This book was used in controversial patriarchy circles, however, this doesn't mean the book is entirely off the mark.  Encourage her to "ask God" (instead of men) to determine if a relationship is a good choice to pursue.....God does answer prayers through dreams or otherwise.)





This is a good book in general (and other resources from these authors).  It is a little bit "dry" but it really points people to the BIBLE ....AND....to SCIENCE in a pure way, which is really good.  Even if a person chooses not to home-educate all 12 years, I would recommend using THIS book as a way to discuss proper biblical based sexuality instead of the "dating patterns" of this world. (Note: Far-left ideals believe that it is OK to "mess around"....but reality is that eventually these things collapse.  So just because an "expert said it" doesn't mean it is the right choice......even doctors handed out cigarettes as a medicine in human history!!!)



Note: It is NOT good to be too far-left on these issues or too far-right on these issues.  Women come in many different shapes, sizes, experiences and cultures.  A "100% white woman" who works at a career so she can go kayaking on the river every weekend, making sure broken bones are mended will do OK while she is clearly married to "her man."  But if she gossips about someone she "doesn't like"....she is the same as "the Nazi" version of "Margret Sanger."  On the other hand......   A woman, with minority conditions, who stays home and educates her four children and supplies their needs and her neighbors needs, while keeping bible verses and knowledge therein (yet suffering much persecution and attacks)....serving the LORD.... will do much better......in this life.

Essentially, just being a "woman" of a growing "girl" doesn't make a woman good....it is doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD!
