I´m always trying to find great books for my lovely girl, she really likes to read. I enjoy when we have this kind of book so we can read together. I´m thankful for 100 stories for courageous girls the stories are very encouraging. Women are amazing I love biographies, a story always gives you what to talk about, questions pop-up, and bonding is great. If your time is limited and you want to inspire your girl with beautiful testimonies this book may be the right fit for you. I like this series much more than the others that are around rebel girls. You will find bible characters and more actual ones. I must add this book would be a great gift for a girl.

This is such a cute book for girls, and one I enjoy reading with my little one as well. I love to be able to teach real lessons through stories and show that she can grow up to do anything.

I received a sample arc through Net Galley.

What I liked: There is a good mix of historical and modern women. The illustrations are nice too.

What I didn't like: This book is definitely aimed at younger girls (which is great). Even so, some of the wording was overly simplistic and sometimes made me cringe.

What I'm neutral about: This book reads like a devotional with a point at the end of each snippet. If you want to use the book that way, then it's fine. But if you want biographical sketches it can feel forced.

The collection of the stories of some of the notable and inspiring women in history will motivate everyone, especially young girls as well as teens, to be courageous, kind, and to never lose faith in God. Readers will learn a lot from reading the amazing tales included in this book and I love that there are included bible verses in the end if every story.

This is the kind of book that parents and teachers should use as a medium to teach young kids about how to be a virtuous person. The stories of these women are really awe-inspiring and will set as an example not only to kids but also to older readers. I will not be embarrassed to have this in my personal library or to give as a present to my godchild or niece. This is a highly commendable children's book that should be read by everyone because of its fabulous content.

As a mother of girls and a Children's Pastor, I loved the idea of this book and wanted to read it right away. We are not finished yet, as we are using it as a devotional, but so far we are really liking it. It is awesome for my girls to read stories of how God used girls/women. Can't wait to read more.

I have always been in favor of giving a reference point to children about the core values ​​of life.
Assuming that religion (and Christianity in this case) is such a reference, then this book meets all the prerequisites.
Although the stories of women that are presented are mainly related to their faith, it is a fairly good reading full with potential role models. Strong women, who manage a lot based on their faith. Their biographies are quite brief and comprehensive, which helps the younger kids. Beautiful Illustrations . In short, a good book that gives inspiration to young but also to older girls.

This book is well written and beautifully illustrated, the women all follow a religious theme with associated biblical quotes. Something different.

This 100 story collection, written to girls ages 8 and up, covers some of the more unforgettable women of the faith. Taken from the Bible and Christian history, these women will inspire girls with their tales of courage, action, and extraordinary faith. Including such women as Lydia, Corrie Ten Boom, Bethany Hamilton, and Rahab, each story expands upon the idea of how a grain of faith moves mountains.

Each section includes a picture, Scripture to go with the story, and biographical information. I only read a sample of the book, but greatly enjoyed what I read. The author is honest about the death of some of these women so be aware with a younger audience. And for that reason, this would be a book that I would read WITH my daughter, not just pass off to her. I also found it interesting that in the kindle version, there was picture portraying one of the African American women as white. This just didn't sit well with me and I wonder how many other illustrations were inaccurate. I do, however, think this would be an interesting book to add to your homeschool or home as your study champions of the faith, and how little it takes so like to make a huge impact.

*Disclaimer: I received a sampling of this book for review. All opinions are my own.

This book is a Christian spin on Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls: the format and illustration style are essentially the same. Whilst it might lack some originality I think it's cleaver to have adopted a popular and familiar format to introduce a new type of character. My daughters LOVED Goodnight Stories so I'm thrilled to be able to use a similar book to introduce them to women of faith who impacted the world. This book is brilliant for teaching girls that they can make a difference, and that their faith is an asset, something that makes them stronger and something to fight for.

This is the same concept as Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls, but including only people with Christian faith. The concept was exactly the same. It was not a bad book to read, and the illustrations were good, but it felt too much like a copy of a concept already done - no original work put into it (even the structure of the book was the same as in Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls).
