Mesi: A Girl ‘n Grace in Africa
by Pam Davis
You may have seen the dolls in Christian bookstores, similar to the American Girl series, but with a most DEFINITELY Godly message. Now, take a peek at a new book series designed to encourage young girls in their faith in Christ, as well as teach them about history and other cultures! Introducing “Girls ‘n Grace” by author Pam Davis!
The first title is “Mesi: A Girl ‘n Grace in Africa” and tells the story of a young girl in Africa who learns that God truly cares about her in every way. Filled with cultural detail and gorgeous illustrations, Mesi (pronounced May-cee) longs to go to school.
Watching as God provides is an inspiration that will motivate young girls to pray and trust God for everything, and to know that sometimes His gifts come in unexpected ways.

Sydney Clair’s Season of Change
by Pam Davis
The second story is "Sydney Clair’s Season of Change" and tells of a young girl’s experience in the days of the Civil Rights Movement, as well as the war protests and how they impact her life. She learns through personal experience how rejection feels, especially when it isn’t fair.
These books are wonderful! The illustrations are gorgeous, and the stories are interactive, encouraging girls to go to the Girls ‘n Grace website and learn more. I’m giving this series five out of five bookmarks, with a world globe as a charm. Learn more about God, a relationship with Him, and cultures world wide!

Real Girls of the Bible
by Mona Hodgson
REAL GIRLS OF THE BIBLE takes real girls or women who lived in Bible times, tells us their story in a nut-shell, and then applies them to our lives today.This devotional includes the stories of thirty authentic girls (women) from the Bible. Each devotional includes the scripture references so you can read the story for yourself, a condensed version of the story, prayer, fun facts, and some tips to help you in your daily walk.
The devotions are short, easy to read in one sitting, and held my interest. I tried them out on my twelve year old daughter and she really liked this book, and thought it was relative to her in today’s world. REAL GIRLS OF THE BIBLE is a great devotional for your preteen or tweener daughters. Designed to bring them to a regular time to spend with God in Bible study, this book is sure to be a winner with your daughter, grand-daughter, or favorite girl. Parents and grandparents will appreciate it too. $9.99. 169 pages.
