One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. provides children with an explanation of these great women of faith. The Bible introduces us to many amazing women of faith who loved and followed God. These women showed courage, kindness, and deep trust in God, becoming examples of how to live faithfully.
One important woman in the Bible is Mary, the mother of Jesus. Mary trusted God completely and accepted His plan to bring Jesus into the world. She teaches us to trust God's plan for us, even when it's hard to understand.

Esther is another inspiring woman. She was a Jewish queen in a foreign land who risked her life to save her people from danger. Esther's bravery shows us the importance of standing up for what is right and trusting God's protection.
Ruth was a woman who showed great loyalty and kindness. When her husband died, she chose to stay with her mother-in-law, Naomi, and help her. Ruth's faith and loyalty show us the importance of family and helping others.
Deborah was a wise leader and judge in Israel. She helped lead her people to victory in battle with God's guidance. Deborah's story reminds us that girls and boys can be leaders when they trust in God.
These great women of faith and many more included in this book are important because they each show us different ways to love and follow God. Whether through kindness, courage, loyalty, or leadership, they remind us that everyone, no matter who they are, can play an important part in God's plan and make a difference.
