"God wants you to learn to rely on Him as your true source of contentment and happiness. Contentment has nothing to do with our circumstances--only with the state of our hearts. If you are not content without a husband, you would never be content with one." ~So Much More, p. 248

"Because God's plan is better than ours, and because He is sovereign, we don't have to be searching for husbands, worrying about being pretty enough or charming enough to attract one, or fretting over the prospect of dying old maids. He is in control! He knows what he is doing! 'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope' (Jeremiah 29:11)." ~So Much More, p. 220

"Clothes make a statement. They proclaim to people who you are, what you believe, what you are worth, who you belong to, what you admire, what you aspire to, what you are for, and whether you are protected or cheap. ... We need our message to declare--I am loved, I am cherished, I am protected, I am a woman of virtue, I am submitted to God..." ~So Much More, p. 81

"A real woman is a woman who recognizes that she has been exquisitely and perfectly created by a loving God for a unique purpose. Out of a genuine gratitude, awe and a desire to please her Maker, a real woman joyfully embraces her femininity and submits every aspect of her identity--the attitudes and affections of her heart and mind, her appearance, her manners, her speech, her ambitions, and her beliefs--to God's original and unique design for her as a woman. ... The difference between men and women glorify God, and downplaying these differences downplays God's glory. A real woman wants to bring glory to God by being a woman." ~So Much More, p. 74

So Much More

The book, So Much More, by the two sisters Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin is both revolutionary and inspiring. They dutifully write about today's unfortunately little discussed subjects that deal with how Godly women should live. "...it covers the full gamut of issues that should be near to the heart of every young woman: submission, the battle against feminism, the influence of Marxism, encouraging brothers, the cautions of having a unbiblical view of 'ministry' outside the home, higher education, exemplifying a 'protected women' through thoughts and actions, biblical marriage preparation and growing in the highest vocation a woman can have: as her husbands helper, the mistress of a functional home and the trainer of children." Written in a question-and-answer format, this book provides so many truths we have either neglected or forgotten. Since there are some doctrinal errors, I advise parents to read it first or read it along with their daughters.

"The prime transformation we must accomplish in our efforts to make our calling and election sure is the mortification of the ego and the exaltation of God to the ruling place in our affections." ~Help and Comfort from the Scriptures, p.30-31

Help & Comfort from the Scriptures

The pamphlet, Help and Comfort from the Scriptures, was an adult class given at the Canadian Bible School in 1954 by Brother John Peake. He aptly describes help and comfort then goes on to explain how we may qualify for them. The last two lessons include obtaining help and comfort and the power of prayer. This booklet is honest and forthright. Whether in tribulation or not, it is an inspiration of God's love and concern for those striving to become better servants of Him.

"In the past, the starting point of my relationships was what I wanted instead of what God wanted. I looked out for my needs and fit others into my agenda. Did I find fulfillment? No, I found only compromise and heartache. I not only hurt others; I also hurt myself, and most seriously, I sinned against God.
But when I changed my attitude and made pleasing God and blessing others my first priorities, I found true peace and joy. When I stopped seeing girls as potential girlfriends and started treating them as sisters in Christ, I discovered the richness of true friendship. When I stopped worrying about whom I was going to marry and began trusting God's timing, I uncovered the incredible potential of serving God as a single. And when I stopped flirting with temptation in on-on-one dating relationships and started pursuing righteousness, I uncovered the peace and power that come from purity. I kissed dating goodbye because I found out that God has something better in store!" ~I Kissed Dating Goodbye, p.21

I Kissed Dating Goodbye

I never liked the way dating is done today. Reading I Kissed Dating Goodbye: A New Attitude Toward Relationships and Romance by Joshua Harris made me realize why modern dating is unbiblical and self-centered. I highly recommend this book to everyone (young, old, single, & married) to better understand true love, purity, and singleness.
