I really enjoyed this book Girls Who Choose God
! It is a sweet, simple book that shares the stories of courageous women whose chose to serve God in their lives! Each women has a short page or two about their story and at the end it asks a question about how we can be more like them. For example at the end of the story about Miriam, the mother of Moses, it says, “What choices have you made to bring your family closer together?” I love the statement at the end of the book that says “From the Creation to the Resurrection, girls and women have made courageous choices to further the work of God. You can follow their examples and choose to love, learn, lead, create and become the person God knows you can be.”

Girls Who Choose God invites young readers (and those who love them) to make important choices of their own, following the examples of great women in the scriptures. With breathtaking illustrations, beautifully told stories, and insightful discussion questions, this delightful book is perfect for sharing, reading aloud, and drawing children into the scriptures.
