Ten Girls Who Didn’t Give In

Ten Girls Who Didn’t Give In

These ten girls grew up to be women who were not easily stopped from following after God. They chose the right thing rather than the easy thing! They would not give in even though living as a Christian was difficult. Would you give in or would you resist? In a world where we give in too easily – be inspired by those who didn’t! These women chose eternal life, love, and joy, through obedience, hardship, and life-threatening – and life-taking, danger.

Blandina became a Christian in the Roman empire almost 2,000 years ago, and was martyred; Perpetua was forced to give up her child before dying in the ampitheatre. Later in England, Lady Jane Grey did as she was told, except when it came to denying Jesus: on that she would not submit to anyone else as Lord or compromise at all.

In addition to these, Ten Girls Who Didn’t Give In includes the lives of:

• Anne Askew
• Lysken Dirks
• Lady Jane Grey
• Marion Harvey
• Margaret Wilson
• Judith Weinberg
• Betty Stam
• Esther John
• Blandina
• Perpetua

“One little girl read these stories and wondered about how these girls could be so brave! That is what hits you in the face when you read about these characters – their courage, their uncompromising stance for God’s truth and the God who gave them that truth in the first place. At a time when young Christians around the world know what real persecution is, help your child to understand that not compromising is something that they can do. Irene Howat writes with a real warmth and insight. 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
