In today's culture, biblical womanhood is a lost art. Women are in a daily battle to embrace their biblical roles within their homes. Sadly, society looks down on the biblical woman, viewing her as weak and subservient, but as Christian women, we know the truth. The biblical woman is strong, supportive, and faithful. Jesus came to redeem and restore this generation of women to live with victory and purpose. Far Above Rubies is one program, with three distinct parts; the Book, 12-filmed Workshops, and a Workshop Guide, built by author and speaker Brenda Leavenworth to aid women in reclaiming their God-given mandate. Each week, of this 13-week program, contains a two-part lesson aimed at establishing a solid biblical foundation. A corresponding video component is available, providing 12 practical workshops, one for each week, for managing the home. Woven into the pages are Brenda's eclectic life experiences as a ministry wife and the mother of a former child actor in Hollywood. Far Above Rubies is the perfect study for those who wish to reclaim biblical womanhood and bring glory to His name.

My prayer is that every woman who reads this book will be empowered and encouraged from God Almighty! That you will allow God to heal and deliver you from every snare the enemy had tried to set for your life. I decree and declare right now that you will fulfill the purpose God has for your life. I call you forth to walk boldly declaring the Glory of God! To walk in freedom and in victory knowing that you are a Virtuous Woman of God, In Jesus Name, AMEN!

"Far Above Rubies" by George MacDonald was the writer's final novella. Written as a sort of autobiography of sorts, the book reveals MacDonald's weariness and lack of energy to put into his craft of writing. Following Hector and Annie, a young couple that falls in love despite being from two different places in society, they are drawn to each other when they recognize the good heart and kind soul in each other.

I asked myself in prayerful thought, what do women need? This is the simple answer I received.Freedom to be feminine. Someone they can trust.True empowerment. The kind based on the strength that God gives and not false empowerment based on power struggles created by a fallen world. So, what if you were free to be feminine? What if you had Someone you could trust? What if you could be truly empowered? God's Word is alive and answering. I found the answers to these questions throughout Scripture and this book is my way of sharing the place where they have been answered most clearly for me - Proverbs 31. In a world that glorifies feminism, anything less aggressive is seen as completely weak. There is nothing weak about being a biblical woman. Actually, there is nothing stronger...

"You will be captured by Far Above Rubies. I couldn't put it down." - Dave Gresham, The Navigators Ministry Her husband-a friend to Mark Twain, mentor to Lewis Carroll, and the man C.S. Lewis called his "master"-was one of the greatest Christian writers of the Victorian era. She was his hidden gem, the bulwark and bastion on which he could lean. Though she was an accomplished musician and singer, an advocate for the poor and neglected, and a published author, she didn't need the spotlight, but was content to be her husband's biggest fan and companion. She bore eleven children and adopted and cared for several others. Enduring hardships few of us will ever experience, this petite woman faced them with courage and strength. Her name was Louisa MacDonald.

Far Above Rubies is a unit study homeschool curriculum for Jr. High and High School young ladies (ages 11-12 all the way through high school graduation). It is designed to cover all subjects (except math and science) for a complete high school education, and includes many suggestions for expanding into specialized areas of interest. Author Lynda Coats provides a well-rounded curriculum useful for college preparatory purposes as well as offering a number of business and vocational skills -- but the primary goal of Far Above Rubies is to also help Christian young ladies develop their character and abilities for useful service to the Lord within the family setting. We hope to help maturing Christian girls understand the importance of homemaking as a full-time profession, even for a woman who may have another profession or occupation as well. This curriculum (based on Proverbs 31: 10-31) stresses the importance of a woman making her family her number one Earthly priority in terms of time and emotional commitment, and of seeing this as her life 'calling' from God. The Perfect "Self-Directed" Course for Jr. & Sr. High Girls! Far Above Rubies is meant to be a "self-directed" curriculum, which can be customized by both parents and the student, to best fit your girls' interests, goals and learning style. Students can "pick and choose" the assignments they wish to focus on to fulfill their course requirements. The point of this curriculum is not to slavishly track down all the resources mentioned herein, nor is it to "get everything checked off". Rather, it is designed to give you a solid, practical and proven framework upon which the student can build a customized, self-directed course of jr. high and high school study. What Else is Needed?Far Above Rubies, you will need to add higher math and perhaps some additional science. Very few additional resources are mandatory, though many supplemental books, videos and online resources are suggested throughout the studies - most of which can be found online or via a local library. If students have any difficulty locating a specific resource, they are free to find comparable online or printed resources on their own. Again... this curriculum is completely self-directed so the student can make it what she wants it to be. It's your choice!
