I had hoped to read this to my younger sister but haven't been able to do so since it is not a paperback, I hope to get one and will give a review then.

The cover is cute and the book has a good set of stories.

Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to review this book for my honest opinion. This book is about 100 women who were all courageous, thereby giving little girls role models to look up to. This book delicately covers some of the more tragic stories in a way that shouldn't be too traumatizing for younger kids but will give older kids an opportunity to ask questions and open up a dialogue about missionaries, martyrs and other delicate subjects. I would say this book would be great for 8-10 year olds.

This is a great book for girls. We tell our girls everyday that they are brave and kind, we want them to grow up knowing they can be both every day they choose to be. This book gives examples of other people that show that to be true as well.

A great gift for any girl!


The publisher add this book available through NetGalley. This review is my honest opinion.

My daughter is 9 years old and absolutely loves this book. What a wonderful feeling when she says that this book makes her feel so good about herself and the things she does. Each story is an easy read for her. Would definitely recommend this book for other girls who need that little boost.

Earc from netgalley.

I liked how there were a lot of pictures to go with the short biographies in this book, I only wish the ebook loaded faster because it took me a very long time to get through. overall, a good choice for young girls.

This book pulls women from history into a readable content for girls. I truly enjoyed reading through various stories of women such as Maya Angelou, Mother Teresa, and many others!

We had heard of some women featured, and loved learning about other lesser known women. All of the women's stories are woven together to share how prayer can encourage young girls to continue praying and being courageous.

Each story is only a couple of pages long, so it is perfect for a quiet reading and chat moment with a young girl in your life.

My daughter and I will continue to cherish the time we read these stories, one each a day, and how we can apply the womens' stories to our own lives for strength and courage.

A must-read and must-have book in all homes to live in Jesus, the messiah! It is an epic read and loved every story. This book has inspired me, motivated me to grow in Christ. Prayerful women can win anything and everything through Christ. The illustrations of each woman are mind-blowing, and verses at the end of each story are thoughtful of the author. The 100 selected stories of women from the Bible, history, and today from various parts of the world is exceptional. The importance of Prayer and its values is said beautifully for all girls and women.

Thank you, Jean Fischer and the publisher for this valuable book.

I'm afraid I cannot recommend this book for a conservative Christian audience. It has very engaging one-page summaries of the faith of many women, along with excellent illustrations, but many of the women chosen are either not Christians (being simply "spiritual") or they promote unbiblical ideas, like women being pastors or listening for God's voice in your heart (God doesn't speak to us, we speak to Him through prayer). I see no issues with this book for liberal Christians, but conservatives will not want to read this to their daughters.

I love the idea of this book. I think children need real role models to look up to and I am grateful that there is a Christian book that presents real women that stayed in faith! The illustrations are grate and i love the fact that there are 100 woman to choose from

I'm not sure what the reading age is for this book, but I can imagine it being good for a late elementary age girl or Sunday school class. Or for a troubled older girl with a younger reading age. As a foster/ adoptive parent I know girls who could benefit from this book. To read about women and God's love for them.

My girl just turned 9 and she really likes to read. I enjoy this kind of books to read together. I´m thankful about 100 stories together so I don´t have to be searching for inspiration. Women are amazing and 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.

What a great book! Great enough to reread after it’s finished (it’s 100 different stories)!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest opinion.
