The fascinating stories of these fifty girls who were used by God will inspire young readers.
The stories of Helen Roseveare, Corrie Ten Boom, Joni Eareckson and many others are brought to life by award-winning author Irene Howat. Each book contains the stories of ten girls who grew up to be used by God in amazing ways. Readers will not only be amazed at the bravery, cleverness and faith of these girls, but will be inspired to look to the God who worked through each of them.
The books contain ten easy to read chapters of equal length. Each character's chapter begins with an incident or memory from their childhood, reminding the reader that people who grew up to do amazing things were once children just like them. The chapters have a fact file, a keynote, a think spot and a prayer to help think through and apply what has been learned in the chapter. The books also conclude with a quiz to see how much the reader remembers. This box set contains all five Ten Girls books in a cardboard slipcase.
