Discipleship Resources for Daughters

Recently, a friend asked me for book recommendations for her daughter. Of course, at the moment, I could only remember a couple. But afterward, more ideas came! So I thought it would benefit me create a blog post to save my ideas.

I have three girls and they are all different. I won't use all of these resources for all of them. So in that sense, this is not a one-size-fits-all list. Every girl is different in temperament, personality, learning style, and what they need. I do have favorites, though, and will attempt to use them with each girl. I've marked them with an asterisk.

Available free online

*Martha Peace audio teaching on hurt feelings. Okay, we all need this one ladies. Highly recommended!

*Living by the Book by Howard Hendricks video series (or the book listed below depending on how they learn best)

*Gospel in Context by Stuart Scott pdf- I worked through this document with all three girls over the course of several weeks. We looked up verses (not all, but most) and discussed.

*Biblical-Decision Making by Stuart Scott, handout with audio or video


Books
Generally, I would have my daughter read the book and then we would informally discuss it. I'm not a fan of discussion questions although they can be a helpful launching pad.

Before You Meet Prince Charming by Sarah Mally

Recommended Resources: Bright Lights Ministry

Last month my daughters and I were able to attend a Bright Lights Conference.  Of course, there was a book table.  I love book tables.  Here are a few resources that I've found valuable and would recommend.

Before You Meet Prince Charming

Excellent book for all young ladies. 

 

Making Brothers and Sisters Best Friends DVD

This is the one time I suggest watching a movie first.  Siblings Sarah, Steven and Grace Mally share Biblical principles for your relationship with your siblings.  A book is also available and expands what is presented in the 1 hour DVD.   

 

Bright Lights Discipleship Package

A discipleship course for moms and daughters or for Bright Lights Groups.

 

Will Our Generation Speak?  

Most practical book on sharing the gospel that I've read.  As with most Bright Lights ministry books, they teach through stories and this book is filled with them. 

 

Biblically Handling Technology and Social Media 

Great book to help teens or adults Biblically think through their use of media.  Have your teens read this instead of letting them figure out the dangers on their own.

 


Of course, there are many more resources not listed.  You can find their online store here.  What are your favorite resources?
