| Publisher Description: Girls need heroes. Why not introduce them to women who are smart, bold, courageous, and who love Jesus? -Amy L. Sullivan Book One in the Gutsy Girls: Strong Christian Women Who Impacted the World series introduces readers to Gladys Aylward, the ultimate gutsy girl. Gladys wanted to tell the people of China about Jesus, but others said she was "too old" and "not smart" and that China was "far too dangerous". Gladys ignored these words and set out on an adventure. Young readers are invited to jump aboard the Trans-Siberian Railway and experience Gladys' story, told with engaging text and stunning illustrations. What Others are Saying I absolutely love this book - it's fun, it's relatable, and with its vibrant illustrations and energetic prose, it's so readable. What a gift it is to be able to share this inspiring story and much-needed role model with the young girls in my life. -Michelle DeRusha, author of 50 Women Every Christian Should Know: Learning from Heroines of the Faith What a beautiful brave story of an ordinary girl turned into a gutsy servant of Jesus. Girls everywhere will be inspired to become like Gladys Aylward after they finish. Engaging and inspiring. -Mary DeMuth, author of 150 Quick Questions to Get Your Kids Talking As soon as I started reading this book, I knew it was a godsend to a generation of young ladies desperate to know that God still can and will use them for great things. In Gutsy Girls, Amy L. Sullivan does a magnificent job of sharing the true story of Gladys Aylward and how a nobody by the world's standards turned out to be one of the "gutsiest" women ever. Gutsy Girls truly is a clarion call to our daughters to be courageous world changers. This book needs to find itself on our daughters' nightstands everywhere -Kristi Bailey, homeschooling mom of four, former public school teacher, and Administrator of the North Point Homeschool Co-op. |
