I’m so excited today because one of my favorite book series now includes a new book!
Gutsy Girls, Strong Christian Women Who Have Impacted The World, is a wonderful series by my friend Amy Sullivan. Amy shares biographies of amazing women in fun, whimsical, colorful books. The series includes Corrie Ten Boom, Amy Carmichael, Fanny Crosby, Jennifer Wiseman, and drumroll please…. hot off the presses… Book Five: Sojourner Truth.
Sojourner’s story if filled with anguish, unbelievable struggle, but also faith, perseverance, and success. Are you familiar with the story of the African American slave Sojourner Truth? Did you know that she recruited soldiers for the Union Army during the Civil War? Did you know that she met President Lincoln? I learned so much about this American hero by reading it to my kids.
My favorite part of the book is this:
Sojourner pushed us to see that if we seek, trust, and obey God, He will always lead us to the truth. That’s gutsy!
I treasure books like these because I want to build my kids’ faith and strength. Who knows what adversities they might face in life? And I want them to be able to recall strong Christians who’ve gone before and have served God no matter what the cost.
Take a look!
