Synopsis

The Daughters of the Faith series has been a great success for Moody so far with 120,000 copies sold. Courage to Run is the most successful, with sales of 39,000. Tinker's Daughter is the next highest, at more than 19,000. They are all continuing to grow.
    
There are a few elements of this series that separate it from many other children's book biographies. First, these books are about little girls. They are not biographies of the entire life of these characters- these are stories about girls who made a difference while they were still young. This enables the young girl readers to relate to the characters more than they would if these characters had to wait until they were thirty or forty before doing anything significant.

Second, these stories are faith journeys. Wendy gets inside the minds of these girls in order to portray their struggles to make God an active part of their lives.

In 1761, Phillis Wheatley was a little girl of seven or eight years old when she was captured in Gambia and brought to America as a slave. But she didn't let her circumstances keep her down. She learned to read and write in English and Latin, and showed a natural gift for poetry. By the time she was twelve, her elegy at the death of the great pastor George Whitefield brought her worldwide acclaim.

From the Back Cover

Many, if not most, of our cultural problems--divorce, abortion, juvenile crime, fatherlessness--can be traced back to the failure of a man. Ironically, it's a man who got up in the morning hoping to succeed.

When you help men develop their roots, you'll find more and more men move beyond being involved in your ministry for what they can get. You'll have men who want to help other men experience what God has done for them.

There are no "Five Easy Steps to an Effective Men's Ministry." There aren't even five hard steps. It just doesn't work that way. We explain "why" and "how" to disciple men, but we don't specify exactly what you should do. Instead, we will help you plan your own concrete next steps according to the culture and needs of your church.

This is our life's work. Helping church leaders disciple men is what we do. We have the privilege of waking up every day focused on how to disciple men in the church--your church. We will be honored if God uses this book to make your efforts more effective and your path a little easier.
