Updated and revised edition!
Raising daughters can be a challenging task! How will we ever teach them everything they need to know? Polished Cornerstones can help! Newly revised and updated after 12 years of service, this 497-page, spiral-bound book will help you focus on the skills and attitudes your daughters need to develop.
-
Polished Cornerstones offers hundreds of different ideas for Bible study projects, reading material, and practical, everyday activities to help prepare your daughters for godly womanhood (and to help them live godly lives as young women).
-
Polished Cornerstones is a tool that allows you to be flexible, picking and choosing from a variety of projects to meet each daughter’s unique needs.
-
Projects in each chapter are categorized for beginning, intermediate, and advanced age levels so you can start work in each area with very young girls, and continue to disciple your older daughters with more challenging assignments.
-
Each project is also labeled with the school subjects it relates to so that homeschoolers can incorporate projects into their academic school day.
-
Each chapter includes evaluation questions for parents and daughters. These help pinpoint weak areas, stimulate discussion, and lead to more specific prayer with and for your daughters.
-
Includes many charts and forms to encourage serious family and independent Bible study. Your daughter will learn how to be a student of the Word as she completes these projects.
Improvements to the new edition include:
- Easier-to-read, updated text and layout
- Easier-to assign projects (now divided into beginning, intermediate, and advanced)
- More help with choosing and planning projects, with sample lesson plans and step-by-step instructions
- More projects for younger girls ages 4 through 9
- Up-to-date recommendations for other character-building books and media
- Insights from 12 more years of parenting experience (our daughter has her own daughter now!)
Reproducible forms mean that one copy of this book will serve for all your daughters (and maybe even a few granddaughters!).
Your satisfaction is guaranteed!

I have a five year old daughter and I purchased Polished Cornerstones a few months ago. I have been reviewing it this summer in preparation for the (home) school year and it is so amazingly wonderful! I come from a broken home and where mental illness, anger and unhappiness created a mixture of fear and misery. I knew that I wanted a different life for my children and our home is 180 degrees. Still, I did not have that foundation to be able to think of all the things included in this book. With the Lord's help, I found my own way after many, many mistakes and heartbreaks. My daughter will not experience those things thanks to people like the Forsters (Praise the Lord!). The book uses activities (not just readings), at all ages, to interest my daughter in the qualitites that I want her to develop. We will go through this book over and over as she gets older to do the projects for each age. The availability of the references and kits are very convenient too! Thanks for taking the time for putting such a wonderful book together - especially for those of us who don't have a parental example to follow!
