The Merchant Maiden:
Earning an Income
Without Compromising Convictions
by Crystal Paine with Esther ClarkDrawing upon personal experience, Crystal Paine encourages young women and their families with Scripture, advice, suggestions, personal testimonies, wisdom, and practical ideas. Not just for unmarried women, this booklet is a treasure trove of information for any woman who desires to earn an income while still being a "keeper at home."
In this delightful 32 page ebook, Crystal presents a scriptural profile of a "Keeper at Home", and shares her own testimony of God's leading in her early training and current business. She then presents a selection of over two dozen very practical and ingenious business & service ideas (with several "hands on" quotes from mothers and daughters who are involved in these enterprises), along with a 10-step plan of action for getting your business off the ground. A concise, compelling, and inspirational idea starter that will be helpful to ladies young and old alike.

Crystal Paine and husband Jesse Paine currently live in Topeka KS, where they operate Covenant Wedding Source. In her own words: "We are both are homeschool graduates and the children of wonderful parents who laid down their lives to train us in the ways of the Lord. Our families met in 1991, when we began attending the same church. At a young age, the Lord planted a seed of love for each other in our hearts. It was not until 2001, when we began courting, that this seed was allowed to grow and blossom into the wonderful marriage God has given us today. We were married January 10, 2003, in a beautiful covenant wedding ceremony. We are currently living in Topeka, KS where Jesse is attending law school and clerking for a Christian attorney." Crystal, when not doing work for Covenant Wedding Source, devotes most of her time to being a wife and homemaker. They are eagerly anticipating the birth of their first baby in January of 2005.
Please Read What Others Are Saying about
"The Merchant Maiden""Wise words, practical ideas, and a reverent tone are woven together in these pages to encourage and inspire young women on what they can do during those years in between school and homemaking of their own. As a mother who has been blessed with the world's best "Mother's Helper" for six years, I believe this is a must-read for every parent of daughters."

"Crystal intended for this book to be read by young ladies, but I wish every father in America would read it. She has given fathers a valuable tool in raising their daughters, as well as a ‘wake-up call’ to their own responsibilities. I suggest that each father read this book together with his daughter and study the principles and their supporting scriptures. Sadly, the principles of a daughter's submission to the authority of her father, and the father's responsibility in protecting his daughter are missing in so many families today. I thank God that Crystal has put into writing what many pastors today are not willing to teach from the pulpit."

Shannon Grubb, homeschool graduate
"Crystal Paine has done a wonderful service to Christian young ladies! We have raised our daughters with the knowledge that God's plan is for them to be keepers at home, but that never solved the problem of how to obtain spending money without going out and entering the workforce, or how to practically apply God's principles for their lives in this venue. Crystal's book gives great insight, while offering many practical tips and ideas for which a young lady can gain an income while not compromising God's principles.
Thank you, Crystal!"Sandi Queen
