In my previous post, I asked for recommendations for resources that share stories of biblical courtship. Since then, I've been given some websites, books and videos to check out. I haven't had a chance to go over these yet, but I wanted to share the resources here. I know that courtship is definitely unique and it's wonderful to read and see the different ways the Lord has worked to bring families together, all the while staying within His powerful and loving parameters.
daughterhoodbydesign.org - neat website giving a handbook approach study to the idea of courtship along with other articles relating to young ladies lives. Also a book on courtship is offered in their links.
ylcf.org/courtship-stories/ - Young Ladies Christian Fellowship. A lovely site with many articles of interest for young women. The address I listed is the index to the courtship stories submitted by their readers. I haven't had time to spend there, but I think the entire site is worthy of a Cup of Tea Visit. :)
tobeonevideo.org - Promising looking video. It's an "85 minute documentary featuring three couple's journey into marriage." You can watch a preview of the film at this link.
Titus2.com - story of their son's courtship can be read here.
The Return of the Daughters - another film highlighting the courtship of a young couple.
Here are a few titles that I have read or that have been recommended to me for the purpose of learning more about courtship.
Before You Meet Prince Charming - lovely book written by a young lady to young ladies. I'm looking forward to sharing this with my twelve year old daughter...in a few years. ;-)
The Three Weavers - Story and study guide written for fathers and daughters to complete together. Along with a great season of biblical study, the culmination is a celebration for the daughter with the father presenting her with a hopechest. My husband plans to work through this book with year with our daughter, timing it so that we celebrate with her on her 13th birthday.
