Bold Girls Speak inspires girls to go boldly where God calls. This collection of Old and New Testament short stories follows smart, problem-solving girls who persevere and thrive with God's help in difficult circumstances. Most are unnamed and overlooked, living in a foreign culture, but the small ones can make a big difference. A few of the main characters are well known and named, but most are found in tucked-away verses in the shadows of the powerful. The girls live in historical and social-cultural settings authentic to the Bible, and they increase the reader's curiosity about biblical times and places. Each story is accompanied by age-appropriate commentary and discussion questions appropriate for classes, mother-daughter groups, home-schoolers, and Christian schools, as well as those reading for enjoyment.

“We need the pitch that drains from wood when it is burnt. Tree sap drips out into a basin under the fire as the wood turns into charcoal. Egypt does not have many trees, so where can we find wood to burn. Where do the workers get the pitch that lines the baskets we use to carry water?” Miriam asked. “Father and Aaron will try to get some from the work site.”
Miriam and her mother worked on the problem of building a waterproof basket for many weeks. Miriam gathered the toughest papyrus stalks from the riverbanks, and her mother expertly wove a basket. Their hearts grew heavier with every passing day, as the danger to the baby boy grew greater.
