Beautiful Girlhood & The Companion Guide

Synopsis

Beautiful Girlhood

Girlhood truly is a thing of indescribable importance and beauty, and Mabel Hale`s "classic" book for adolescent girls - Beautiful Girlhood - has become a standard resource among many Christian families who wish to nurture that delicate blossoming process. Mabel Hale originally wrote this book for her Sunday School class of young women. Hale`s discussions about obedience, cheerfulness, truthfulness, friendships, dress, quiet times, purity, character, speech, and more are as timely today as they were when she wrote the book in 1940.

Karen Andreola`s revision of Beautiful Girlhood maintains those encouraging chapters of wisdom on topics that mothers and daughters need to discuss as the half-open bud of girlhood blooms into the "wonderful coloring of the rose" of womanhood.

The Companion Guide

Each chapter of The Companion Guide to Beautiful Girlhood begins with discussion questions for you and her to talk about to get the most out of the chapter. Be ready for some great questions from your daughter! Following the discussion questions is an in-depth bible study and activity guide. Instead of just giving your daughter an opinion on a topic, find out with her what God's word has to say about the particular topic.

The study in the Companion Guide ends with a couple of quotations and some journal ideas to encourage daughters to think about what they have just learned or to record their own views. The journal can be written in the space provided in the Companion Guide itself or in a separate diary. This section helps your daughter to begin developing and articulating her thoughts and beliefs about how a young lady should present herself and behave is a priceless record of the heart.
