Family Devotions: Brave and Faithful

Five weeks of five-minute family devotions: the true stories of three brave women, read aloud one short chapter a night — Mary Slessor, the Scottish mill girl who rescued twin babies in Nigeria; Pandita Ramabai, who built a home for India’s widows and girls; and Corrie ten Boom, who hid Jewish neighbours in the war and learned to forgive. Each ends with a prayer and three questions to talk about together.
