 Ten Girls Who Changed The World July 17, 2006

2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I read this book a few years ago and I thought that it was really good. It has a short biography on quite a few female missionaries. It was v. good and v. inspiring.
 10 lives to spark a girls confidence in working with God. September 28, 2002
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Ten lives to spark a young girls interest in how some have changed what 'might have been' for many, all over the world (China, Britain, India, Africa, Hong Kong, USA + worldwide).
This book tells of Isobel Kuhn, Elizabeth Fry, Amy Carmichael, Gladys Aylward, Mary Slessor, Catherine Booth, Jackie Pullinger,
Evelyn Brand, Joni Eareckson Tada, and Corrie Ten Boom by starting with each as a child and telling briefly the stories of their lives. The parts majored on are not necessarily what an adult would be most interested in - I think the author does a fairly good job of seeing what would be of interest in a child's eyes. I wish though that the author had included the part Joni Eareckson Tada has played in the world of the disabled instead of just her writing, painting and suviving without bitterness! A good feature is the succinct double page at the end of each chapter that gives facts about the time in which the girl lived in such a way as to help the child relate to their world and have a little food for thought. However, I'm not sure that the way the largeness of the world in the 19th and early 20th century made separation between parents and children in some parts of the world necessary, if they were to have an education, is handled sensitively enough. Only 2 of the 10 are contemporary, but then the point of the book is to appreciate those who have gone before us. There is a sequel I haven't seen 'Ten girls who made a difference' - it would be good if that one followed up with some more contemporary lives. Altogether this is an enjoyable book that I think my 9 year old niece will like and follow up with questions about our own lifestyle.
