Maria Fearing: The Girl Who Dreamed of Distant Lands (Inspiring illustrated children's biography of Christian female missionary who shared Christ’s ... gift for kids 4-7.) (Do Great Things for God)

As humans, we are born to crave heroes, role models to which we can aspire. From the media to magazines to movies, we are assaulted with examples to emulate. But spiritual heroines can prove more difficult to discover. You never know what’s in a person until you tip them over and see what spills out. The Goodbook for Children’s Do Great Things for God series is an invitation to a literary tea party of godly women! Betsey Stockton (1798-1865) embodied Psalm 145:18, “The Lord is near to all who call on him.” Soon after she committed her life to Christ and was set free from sin, she was set free from slavery. She surrendered her freedom to serve as a missionary. Each charmingly illustrated mini-biography includes a photograph, memory verse, timeline, map, discussion questions, and interactive worksheet pages for use at home or classroom, and each heroine reminds readers of all ages that God makes a way for those He calls. This collection of small books with big hearts is the perfect way to bring the Hebrews 11 “hall of faith” to your bookshelf.
