by Rebecca St. James This book is a compilation of short stories. The characters range from Joan of Arc, to a high school student in the Midwest, to a young missionary wife in Lebanon, to an Olympic athlete....all young women who boldly stand for Christ in the midst of their every day lives.
The book is set up to be a 13 week interactive devotional. Each section has 5 profiles, space for journal and questions. I simply read, thought, and prayed. I laughed and cried.
Thanks, Chris, for sending this book my way. I liked it so well and so quickly that I bought copies for each of the girls for Christmas.
These are not full-blown biographies and quite a few days I was left wanting to know more. This isn't really a negative. I gave the boys the Jesus Freaks book like this and Jared has already picked up "Tortured for Christ" by Richard Wurmbrand to read after having his appetite wet by the profile in Jesus Freaks. I think Jesus Freaks is an excellent choice for both genders....Sister Freaks focus' only on "every day young women".
I think Sister Freaks is encouraging to young women who may wonder if their heart and passion makes them "strange"..... Bess, this book will be on it's way to you by Tuesday - that's my goal.
