Isobel Kuhn questioned whether God even existed. Mary Slessor grew up in a slum with an alcoholic father. Joni Eareckson broke her neck during a diving accident and Corrie Ten Boom just lived with her family in a little watch shop in Haarlem, Holland. What is so special about these girls and how did they change their world?
Find out how:
- Isobel Kuhn believed in God and obeyed his call to travel to Asia to tell the Lisu people about God
- Mary Slessor put herself through evening classes and eventually became one of the first white women to venture into the interior of Africa
- Joni Eareckson struggled through her treatment and endless hospital visits to become the inspiration to many Christians
- Corrie Ten Boom put her life on the line to save the lives of many Jews in the hiding place, a hidden room behind her wardrobe in a little watch shop in Haarlem, Holland
