Radiant records the triumph of the gospel as Christian women faced kings and governors, soldiers and wild beasts, Japanese guards and Muslim raiders, fire, exile, the chopping block, Nazis, cannibals, riots and more.

“Look to heaven and forsake the world” has been their cry for 2,000 years.  But being “spiritually minded” didn’t make these women soft or weak — it made them invincible!

From South America to Europe, from China to Africa to the Wild West, in prisons and in throne rooms, the Christian heroines of Radiant have left a stunning legacy. These short and moving biographies for young people introduce the reader to 50 often unfamiliar champions of the faith.
