Lately, when I've been studying the scriptures, I've been looking specifically for when women are mentioned and how their lives and examples might apply to me. I think the women of the Bible are so interesting because there's such a wide diversity of positions with queens mentioned, all the way down to slaves. There are mothers, women who long to be mothers, sisters, cousins, and friends. The women of the Bible are truly worthy of study.
The new book, Girls Who Choose God, Stories of Courageous Women From the Bible is an illustrated book of selected women from the Bible. It gives a brief summary of their life and a choice they were faced with. You turn the page to find out what choice they made.
I liked the simple way it was presented and read it with my younger children. They were fascinated by the illustrations because they are quite unusual. There were several things to discuss from the illustrations alone! I liked the way once the choices were revealed, that there was a little question at the end to spark a discussion on what you would do if faced with such a choice. It's a great book for anyone with children who want to learn more about the women of the Bible. Could also be easily used in a Family Home Evening setting.
It's a hardcover book, 48 pages long, and published by Deseret Book.

What a delightful book for young girls. I must get one for my granddaughter. I wished it wasn't so expensive, though.
It is expensive, but it's sort of an heirloom looking book. I think if you saw it, you would buy it. My two cents! :)
