Book Review: "Fearless Daughters of the Bible" by J. Lee Grady
This beautiful and engaging book has 15 chapters, each about women from the Bible who courageously followed God's call even when it went against tradition. These women were willing to be misunderstood, to endure danger, and to walk by faith, not by sight.
After profiling each biblical woman, Grady gives modern examples of women who displayed the same character traits as the biblical example. For instance, in Chapter Two we meet the daughters of Zelophehad. They appealed to Moses because of the unfairness of inheritance laws that would cause their father's name to disappear from their tribe because he had no sons. Almighty God told Moses these women were right. The law was changed to conform to God's ruling. The modern example for this chapter was Rosa Parks, who also faced obstacles and challenged the unjust practices of her day.
Each chapter ends with "A Message from your Heavenly Father" in which Grady describes a blessing or affirmation God offers his daughters. The author is father to four daughters and has an obvious passion for encouraging women to become all God made them to be. This would be an excellent book for a Bible study class or as a graduation gift for a young woman.
I received a free review copy of this book from Chosen Books, a division of Baker Publishing Company.
