Product Description
Bestselling author and award-winning singer Rebecca St. James brings together a group of radical and inspirational true stories about young women who gave their all for Jesus.Around the world, every day, young women are boldly putting themselves forth as believers-regardless of the cost. Sometimes they suffer for it, but they never waver in their belief that God has called them to serve Him. In her new book, Rebecca St. James profiles both contemporary women and historical figures from around the world- from Joan of Arc to a Midwest high school student to an Olympic athlete. Their stories are sometimes extreme, sometimes more universal, but always inspiring. Divided into 13 weeks, the book features five profiles each week, thought-provoking questions, and space for journaling. Rebecca St. James has inspired thousands with her music; now she empowers them with these very real, godly role models in whose footsteps they can follow.

This is a good book. Easy to read. However, I found it a bit slap dash.
For instance, the chapter on Clare of Assisi sadly lacking. The proper translation for Friars Minor (Latin) is Lesser Brothers. Not Brothers Minor. Lesser Brothers comes from the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 25 Verse 40. The omnipresent NIV translates it as "least of my brothers."
She skips entirely over the part that as sick as Clare was, she refused to die until the pope granted that the sisters be able to live in poverty. Stating only that the pope was impressed by her. Superficial don't you think?
If one is going to write a book about courageous women, then tell us exactly how courageous they were!

After reading Rebecca's "Wait for Me" book I looked to read more of her work. I was impressed with how it related to "today's" up and coming women. It is definetly a book I would recommend for the younger generation of women and young ladies to inspire them to be bold for God. I also liked the weekly questions to really make one think about their own faith. It is also a nice formate to do as a group study to really make the girls/young women think about who they want to become and where they themselves are headed in their faith. The stories range from acts of great courage in a unbelieving world to everyday ways to living for God. It shows that one doesn't have to lose their life or be tortured to stand up for their faith and live a life worthy of being call a Christian. It shows that any age person can be bold and give everything for their faith. A great book!
