Beautiful Girlhood is an appropriate book for all ages, and I've found in helpful in pondering my own development.
Here's some books I would reccomend for your reading list.
~Secret Keeper by:Dannah Gresh
~A Young Woman After God's Own Heart by:Elizabeth George
~For Such a Time as This by:Lisa Ryan
~Elsie Dinsmore Series by:Martha Finley
~The Divine Dance
~Emotional Purity (This book is probably more appropriate for older readers)
if I think of more I'll let you know.
Also, I am going to add Beauty From The Heart to my blogroll as soon as I get a chance. So if you wouldn't mind adding mine to yours I'd really appreciate it!

Kelsa, I was just visiting your blog a little while ago, and was going to add your URL to our blogroll.
And thanks for the book suggestions!
Thanks! I just added your blog to my blogroll as well!
Hi,
A while ago I had to do a questionaire type of thing for Bible. I had to ask three women what they thought about becoming a Godly woman. One of them told me to be around women who love God and display qualities that you would like to have. An obvious thing to do would be to love God and delve into the treasures that His word holds.
I'm not currently subscribed to Hopechest Magazine (www.hopechestmagazine.com), but a friend gave me five years of back issues, and I've loved them! They are Biblically sound, mostly reader written, and overall, just excellent!
Also, a new e-zine I'd recommend is Keepers of Heart and Home (www.keepersmagonline.com/)
One book I've enjoyed is Common Sense Christian Living, by Edith Schaeffer. She addresses many things from a Godly woman's perspective (although I would recommend this book for teens/women only, not for very young girls, as the book also deals with some serious topics such as "choice" (ie., a*******).
Joanna, I am actually a subscriber to HopeChest Magazine and had forgotten to add that to the list. Thanks for the reminder :) I'll have to look into the other websites and publications you suggest as well - thanks for sharing.
homeliving.blogspot.com is a great blog...
Two books -
Homemaker by J.R. Miller
Female Piety by J.A. James
What blogs? :)
http://girltalk.blogs.com
This blog encouraged me...
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary - have had good magazine articles on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, like the 2003 Winter one on "The Beauty of Biblical Womanhood"... :)
Great idea, girls!
My recommended books are:
His Chosen Bride by Jennifer Lamp (A must-read for all young women. "Applying Proverbs 31 as a single young woman.")
Beautiful Girlhood--good for all ages
Beautiful in God's Eyes by Elizabeth George--good for both wives and singles, excellent books to go through with your own mother
That's all I can think of for now, but I'll be back if I think of more!
Keep up the great work, you three. Excellent writing, and thought-provoking posts...God bless! :)
Nancy Leigh Demoss's ministry through Revive our Hearts Radio and books has encouraged me and helped my spiritual growth alot. Her teaching on radio is very biblical and practical and often deals with many different areas of Biblical womanhood - I download ROH programs from www.reviveourhearts.com. Check it out! :o)

I saw that you have "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" written by Joshua Harris. I would suggest considering adding the follow-up book, "Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship", also by Joshua Harris. It may be more helpful to older teens who may begin courting soon. I am 20 years old and married, however, when I began dating my husband at age 17, I had heard of courtship, but was never really told what the difference is from dating. This book really helped both Garrett and me during that season of our relationship.
