Mother/Daughter Bible Studies

Mother/Daughter Bible studies seem to be the most inquired topic for which my blog is visited.  Here is a list of some books we have studied with our daughters over the years.

~ God's Priceless Woman by Wanda Sansari

    This was our first study with a group of moms and their daughters.  It was a wonderful look at Proverbs 31 with much discussion on how we inact the principles of the passage in our daily thoughts, attitudes and actions.  It was time intensive.  The girls and I went over the questions every Sunday afternoon and then did the second part at the study.

     One cautionary word is that it assumes everyone homeschools (which worked for our group)

~  A Young Woman's Walk With God by Elizabeth George
    Wonderful!!  A look at the Fruits of the Spirit.  My oldest daughter says that was here favorite study.  Discussion questions are at the end of the chapter.  This was an amazing study for us all.

~  Growing in Wisdom and Faith by Elizabeth George
    A study on the book of James.  This was a great study but I would not do it again with young ladies.  It may have been the particular make-up of our group, but I thought this study was a "downer."  Maybe others profitted from it but I was glad when it was over and we were not focusing so much on the trials of life. 

~  Experiencing God's Peace by Elizabeth George
    A study on the book of Philippians.  I insisted that we study a book with an emphasis on JOY after our study on James and the emphasis on trials.  Another profitable study!!

~  Beautiful Girlhood by Karen Andreola
    Abby and I are doing this book now.  We break out the Oreos (we never have oreos in the house) and delve into the sometimes sensitive mother and daughter issues.  We have only completed a few chapters and I hope it is our summer project.  My older 3 daughters read the book independantly.  It comes with a companion guide and I can see where it would make a lovely group study.  Be prepared to deal with your own heart too when you go through the chapters.

~ Beyond Beautiful Girlhood by Margaret Elizabeth Sangster, Revised by Shelly Noonan

   We did a once a month study with daughter #3 and #4 with a group.  Abby was really too young for this (10 years) but profitted in some ways.  Lydia (16 years) was better suited for the subject matter.  Excellent topics. 

~  The Three Weavers by Robert and Shelley Noonan

    A Father/Daughter study (had to throw this one in there)  This has been one of the most profitable studies we have done with our daughters.  The three oldest girls were ages 16, 15 and 13.  It worked having the 13-year-old in the study because she was joining in with her sisters.  We will wait with daughter #4 until she is about 15 year old.  Fathers and daughters discuss how they will handle situations when the young men begin entering their lives.  Delicate issues are dealt with in a very sensitive manner.  I cannot say enough good about this book. It helped us build foundations long before any need had arisen.
