“ This is exactly what I have been looking for; something that I can sit down and read with my daughter as we have one on one time together—as we talk about how to be a godly young woman and seek God's will for her life—to focus on virtuous character and teach her that character while God molds and works on her through prayer! ”

I received my back issue compilation of Girlhood Home Companion about a month ago. It will take me a while to work my way through it, but I have enjoyed what I have read so far. I especially appreciate the spirit in which everything is written, especially since we are surrounded by a culture that denigrates the roles of homemaker and mother. I am leading a group for girls this spring and I tell them the purpose of the club is to equip them to make their homes places of ministry and industry. Girlhood Home Companion is doing a wonderful job equipping me so I can equip them.

Thank You!

     The Girlhood Home Companion is a beautiful 4-color companion guide, magazine, and unit study in character all rolled into one publication. The Girlhood Home Companion encourages young ladies (ages 10-18) how to enjoy their precious girlhood years while walking closely with the Lord and developing a deeper relationship with Him. Filled with the wisdom of writers from the past and present, each edition of The Girlhood Home Companion features encouraging articles and stories that center on one character quality per issue. Each theme is explored in-depth through editorials, articles, and stories that will minister to the heart of your daughter, while teaching her the practical skills of homemaking, cooking, crafts, sewing and other girlhood pastimes.

      Originally produced from 1998 to 2001 and back by popular demand, there is nothing so lovingly designed with the heart of a Christian girl in mind as the The Girlhood Home Companion.      

The Girlhood Home Companion is a friend for life!

  Read about the Mission of
The Girlhood Home Companion

      Companion. It’s not a word you hear much anymore, but in the 1800’s it was commonly used to describe a young woman’s employment by an older relative or family acquaintance. A mature girl, usually age 12 or older, would be hired to spend countless hours keeping her elderly charge company. While “having tea” or sitting together in the drawing room, the two would discuss matters of general interest and domesticity.
      Besides reading the Bible, it was the companion’s job to read through volumes of books such as Emerson’s Essays and Voices of the Night Ballads and Other Poems by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. And if her older counterpart happened to “doze off” during one of those prolonged reading sessions, the younger was free, for a time, to pursue her own interests.
      Being a companion was tiresome work – but not without its rewards, especially if your employer planned to travel abroad. You may remember the scene in Little Women where Jo grumbles about the injustices of having to be the companion of that “crabby old miser” Aunt March. The only bright spot on her horizon was a potential trip to Europe. The relationship between the two March women was strained and hardly represents the true spirit in which companionship is to be given or received.
      The word companion is found only 13 times in the Bible. In the Greek New Testament the word sugkoinonos means: participant with others in anything, a joint partnership. Another word which is closely related to it is sunergos, meaning: a companion of labor, one who labors in furthering the cause of Christ. I think these two words perfectly describe the ministry of The Girlhood Home Companion. We are joint partners with your daughter, helping her to participate in all that is feminine and lovely as she grows in the Lord, and a companion in labor, helping her cultivate godly character qualities, thus furthering the cause of Christ.
     During the Victorian era, when life moved at a much slower pace, there were distinct periods of development in a girl’s life: babyhood, childhood, girlhood, and womanhood. I have seen a marked difference between the girl my oldest daughter used to be, and the lovely woman she has become in Christ. One thing I firmly believe is that girlhood is a priceless training ground that should not be rushed.
