For Such a Time as This–Helping our Daughters Love God’s Word

“Our greatest hope for this book is that girls will come away with a deeper understanding and love for Scripture.” -Breezy Brookshire

Oh how I love this book. Every square inch. “Stories of Women from the Bible, retold for girls.”

Written by Selah singer Todd Smith’s wife, Angie, and magically illustrated by a friend of mine, Breezy Brookshire, For Such a Time as This makes history come alive for children and adults.

I don’t know if you did this, but for me, since before I could read, I loved flipping through Bibles with pictures. That was my first connection to stories that I would learn are true and miraculous. We forget how much our children connect images with words and this book, with its easy-to-read but true-to-history writing, and the beautiful illustrations, is a perfect combination for giving our children a new level of inspiration toward God’s Word.

When I got mine the other day, I piled the girls (and little boys) on my bed and I watched their eyes become mesmerized by the pages as I read the narratives from Scripture.

“…and also that women will feel a sense of urgency about praying over their daughters…to take the power of the Word of God and apply that in their parenting.” -Angie Smith

I have to rank For Such a Time as This as one of my all-time favorite books to have in our library and pore over with my children. You and and your children will be simply delighted. (Get your copy here.)
