Ten Girls Who Made History

Ten Girls Who Made History

Another book in the much-loved Ten Girls series! These brief biographical sketches point girls to women of significance, with humble beginnings such as their own. For girls age 7-12 years old.

Find out how Mary Jane helped everyone by her praying! How Emma studied astronomy and it made her a better Bible teacher; Florence became a nurse who loved God; how Lottie thought missionaries were silly but then became one herself!

Henrietta dreamed big and God used her in big ways; Bessie became a missionary in a horse-drawn carriage; Betty flew planes in World War 2; Elisabeth’s husband was killed but she forgave his murderers and went back to them with God’s Word! Jeanette became a Christian at a dangerous time in China and yet told her people about Christ anyway.

Endorsements and Reviews:

“This is a wonderful book – in fact 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 Lightkeepers series fills the gap!” — Catherine Mackenzie, author of many children’s books and Christian Focus for Kids Editor

“This has been a great book and enjoyable. I have learned much about girls who I knew already, had made more history that you think of. Be sure to read every “inch” of this book.” — Christina Polyanko
