Precious Stones & Alabaster

Lori Barstow. Self-published, 2007. 196 pp. (Paperback). Available at preciousstonesbook.com. 
Without a doubt, this extremely well written book is quite relevant in that it is written basically for girls starting college. A professional academic advisor, this author writes, “Education, wisdom and knowledge are purposeless without Christ.”

This author advises readers to fear, be open-minded and not depend on shortcuts. She also writes about study skills, hard work, relationships, money management, perseverance and encouragement.
This to me is extremely well written and a most practical book. Girls, as they finish high school, need to read this book and keep it close for inspiration and guidance.
