Overview

Get ready to be inspired by eight fantastically faithful people who all had one thing in common: they each answered God's call to do something new. Here, you will meet: * Mary Anning: who discovered amazing fossils that rocked the science community * Harriet Beecher Stowe: who wrote a groundbreaking book that helped to end slavery * John Muir: who was in awe of God's creation, and made sure others could enjoy it too * George Cadbury: who had a passion for chocolate, and for treating his workers fairly * Bessie Coleman: who challenged prejudices, followed her dream, and took to the skies * Mother Teresa: who turned love into action and helped the ""poorest of the poor"" * Arthur Ashe: who used his sports-star status to be a voice for change * Charles Mulli: who went from rags to riches, then used his riches to transform children's lives The true stories of these real-life trailblazers reveal what ordinary people can achieve when they put their faith in an extraordinary God. Be encouraged to follow their example and become a trailblazer too! Each chapter ends with a Bible memory verse, questions for reflection and a short prayer. With humorous black and white line drawings and text that bounces of the page, this biography series will inspire today's kids to put their faith in Jesus and to use their talents for the glory of God.
