I have been contemplating buying a Handbook entitled Keepers at Home for a while and finally took the the plunge and bought a copy for my two girls on Saturday. I thought I would take a moment to share it with you.
The book is entitled Keepers at Home A Handbook for Young Ladies.It is written by a lady called Susan D. Zakula and is part of a series of books by Keepers of the Faith. www.keepersofthefaith.com
Now to me this is every girls dream book, a Christian alternative to gaining Brownie Badges. I am not going to apologise for the fact some may think it old fashioned, outdated and a feminists nightmare. It is a wholesome, Godly guide to all things fun, inspiring, exciting and educational. Over the years your girls will decided what new skill they want to work for and once they complete their task to a good standard they are then awarded badges or equivilent to reward their hard work. The idea is that over the years of their childhood and up, they learn the right ways to become Godly women by means of studying scripture, prayer, learning Bible verses. They learn the skills of looking after a home and oodles of worthwhile crafts and creative skills.
Here are a few examples of what they can cover. Candlemaking Ceramics Dollmaking Oil Painting Weaving Quilting First Aid Sign Language Nature..... and the list goes on.
For those of you with boys they also do a handbook for them called Contenders of the Faith. It has many of the same topics as the girls book but also alot of boy specific subjects too. It is well worth taking a look at their website and you can get hold of these books and the badges from Ichthus resources. www.ichthusresources.co.uk
Have a look.
