From an award-winning biographer comes the stories of ten girls who grew up to use their gifts and talents for God.
These ten girls grew up to become successful women. The two things they have in common is that they all put to good use the talents and gifts they had, and they all believed that God had given them to be used.
Helen used her skills as a doctor to bring the truth about Jesus to Africa; Carine helped start a publishing company; Annie used her technical skills to keep aircraft in the air; Harriet wrote a book that changed society; Sarah enabled her husband to change a nation; Selina's influence and intelligence helped the persecuted, and preserved the church; Mildred used her adventurous spirit to spread God's word; Katie Ann’s compassion rescued babies; Patricia brought Christian fiction to the masses and Mary showed that disability was no barrier to caring for others.

It's a wonderful series. Irene Howat writes with a real warmth and insight. People that you have never met come alive on the page. Christian legends and unsung heroes all become friends you can understand and look up to. In a world where role models of real integrity are few and far between the Lightkeeper's series fills the gap!
Ten stories of women who used their talents for the service of God, sometimes in a rather different way than they imagined at first. A good read, easy for non-natives and older children.
Bought as a gift for an 11 yr old girl. As part of our move up Sunday when a child moves up to an older Sunday group.
