Christian Heroines Just like You (Catherine Mackenzie)

$12.50$13.99

Imagine that you’re a slave girl in first-century Rome; or picture yourself among the sights and sounds of the Coliseum, with the approach of lions! How about the dark, foreboding atmosphere of a Spanish inquisition courtroom. What would it have been like to be a servant girl in the 1500’s, accused of heresy and sentenced to death?

These types of situations were not only faced by Christian women in past history, but still are today. Women young and old face persecution across our world for following Christ, reading a Bible, attending a church, worshiping the one true God. They are Christian heroines. With the joy of the Lord as your strength, you can be a heroine in your own time and era.

Could future generations learn about the power of true Christianity in women’s hearts, as you join the ranks of Christian heroines? Written for girls 9-12 to read, and great to read aloud to children 7 and 8.  Just look at this list of the lives of girls included in this book!
