Sojourner Truth by Barbour Publishing



Here is the book summary:
They're bold. They're fearless. They're adventurous. They have a faith that can move mountains. They're women of courage.

This series of easy-read biographies celebrates the lives of women who lived lives committed to changing the world for better. What set them apart? The willingness to live courageously for Christ, even in the midst of impossible situations.
 
In Sojourner Truth, you will meet the tall, powerful former slave and abolitionist whose biblically-based call for equality—for both African Americans and women—secured her a place in American history.
 
Wherever she appeared, the wise words and electrifying presence of Sojourner Truth brought audiences to their feet. The lengthy shadow cast by her near-six-foot frame and the challenge to injustice issued by her stinging speeches have secured her a place in American history—a place as a woman of courage.
 
Get inspired by her story, celebrate her legacy, and learn that God can use each of us for mighty things. . .if we have courage.

And now, my review:
My girls and I enjoyed this read during school this year.  It sure paints the picture of slavery which is really hard to read and listen too.  Sojourner Truth was really brave and accomplished much.  Her boldness to give speeches was inspirational to anyone who is called to do something that is not the easiest of tasks to fulfill.  Translating this to the gospel, we are so thankful that the Holy Spirit gives us exactly what we need, when we need it to fulfill the calling that God places on us.  He doesn’t call us to do something that He doesn’t equip us for. 
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
