I loved the art work in this sample. It was interesting to learn about women who did amazing things throughout history.
This is a wonderful book! I am always looking for stories of strong, godly women to share with my daughter and this book has so many in one place. This would be a great devotional or even text for history lessons.
With this book. my daughter is able to learn and read about Bible heroes like Jesus's mother Mary, Hannah, Abigail, Deborah, and Esther as well as famous Christians like Amy Carmichael and Ruth Bell Graham. There are also people I had never heard about who chose to live their lives for Jesus, even if it meant death. Each story has a picture, details about the woman's life, questions to think about, and a scripture.
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 book contains short vignettes about women of faith. They are little biographies, enough to give a little girl some understanding of who each woman is. I am atheist so the faith part doesn't reach me, but I can appreciate that some people want that to be included. Many of the women included are significant apart from whether or not they were Christian. A solid book for girls.
I absolutely love this book! Quick and captivating stories on so many amazing women. I can’t wait to buy this book for every young girl I know!
I personally am not Christian, nor is my daughter, but I enjoyed this book and I know she will enjoy hearing each of these stories. The stories themselves are not very long, but that is helpful for children with short attention spans as it allows them to still soak up the great meanings that can be found in this book. I think that girls from all walks of life would benefit from this book, Christian or not, because the women featured are strong and positive role models that teach good morals. I think this is a great book to have in any house, library, or school for young girls. The artwork included is absolutely beautiful too, which only adds to the wonderfulness of this title.
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.
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.
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.
