Twelve women who faithfully prayed for God's hand in their lives. Names like Helen Keller, Esther, Lottie Moon, Hannah, and Faye Edgerton to name a few. Some names are from the bible but some are women that your daughter may not know but a great role model. This is a great devotion for mother and daughter to share on prayer and how prayer works. It is not list of demands but of aligning with God's will. A short snapshot and scripture for each women. Highly recommend.

I read this book with my 8year-old daughter. We were both encouraged and challenged by the stories that were shared. The stories and illustrations were age appropriate for young girls ages 6-10.
Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to review this book for my honest opinion.

She prayed is a wonderful book telling the stories of 12 bold women. Some from the Bible and some from more recent history. Each chapter tells about the woman's life and includes a Bible verse that is relevant to their story.
The book is well written, nicely organized and has beautiful illustrations. This is a wonderful book to read with your daughters.
The publisher made an advanced copy of this book available via Netgalley. This is my honest review.

This beautiful little book has a big meaning, because the title, SHE PRAYED says it all! And, the first woman it talks about is Deborah, from (Judges 4-5). When Deborah prayed, (A Thank-You Prayer to God). She was the only woman judge in the Bible. It was the way she prayed this thank-you prayer that touched my heart.
Faye Edgerton, an American missionary, lived from (1889-1968). She prayed, (A Prayer for Help). And, what she did, with the help of God, was amazing! It also helped with the Navajo language so the people could understand.
In (Esther 1-10), she prayed (A Prayer to Save Her People). For you see, Esther had a secret. But her husband, the king did not know about this secret. Then this evil man lied. Esther's cousin heard about these lies and told Esther. She prayed to God for help, then told the king her secret, that prayer saved her people.
Elizabeth Fry lived from, (1780-1845), and prayed (A prayer to Help Others), and spent her whole life helping the poor. Elizabeth asked the Queen and other leaders for help. And in so doing, her mission grew.
This is just a few stories about some of the strong women in this book to show how strong prayer can be and what a prayer can do.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

“She Prayed” was sent to me in Ebook form, by Net Galley, free of charge, in exchange for my honset review.
“She Prayed” was written and illustrated by Jean Fischer. It was published by Shiloh Kidz, an imprint of Barbour Publishing.
This book is a children’s picture book with twelve stories of extraordinary women of faith who changed the world.
Each story has a title (the woman’s name). Then, it shows either where she can be found in Scripture (Deborah, Esther, and Hannah), or the years she lived (Faye Edgerton, Elizabeth Fry, Anne Hutchinson, Mahalia Jackson, Helen Keller, Lottie Moon, Pandita Ramabai, and Phillis Wheatley. After that, there are a few short paragraphs about her and a verse. And, finally, there is a GORGEOUS picture of each.
As soon as I started reading this book, I realized that I could’ve used it in my teaching of some of them.
I would definitely recommend this book to early elementary children. They will love the colorful pictures. I’d also recommend it to Sunday School or Christian School teachers. And, it would make a really nice gift to the little ones in your life.

As a Christian parent, I'm always on the lookout for faith-filled books that tell Biblical stories but also keep my children's attention. She Prayed is exactly that.
She Prayed tells the stories of twelve faithful and courageous women throughout each of the beautifully illustrated pages. From the Biblical accounts of Esther and Deborah; to more modern-day women such as Faye Edgerton and Hellen Keller, these stories will fascinate and empower your children while bringing God's truth to them in an exciting way.

This book is a wonderful way to share devotions with children about the important women who knew about the power of prayer. It has beautiful illustrations of the women and a small story of each woman and how they knew to pray. This book would make a wonderful addition to any child's library and a fantastic devotion book for the family to share. An excellent read.
