Ten Girls Who Didn't Give In

Have you been inspired by characters from films like 'The Lord of the Rings' who did the right thing, no matter what the cost? Here are some real people from history who did just that! These ten girls grew up to become women who didn't 'give in'. Living as God would want them to was difficult but they chose to do the right thing instead of the easy thing. Would you give in or would you stand up for what you believed in? Blandina followed God and then because of her faith became a martyr; Perpetua was forced to give up her child and then died in a Roman amphitheatre; Lady Jane Grey did as she was told, almost became queen but in the end her faith was stronger; Anne Askew lost her home and family - but never her faith; Lysken Dirks loved her young husband and had a terrible choice to make but they loved God first; Marion Harvey discovered that following God to the end was not her greatest hardship; Margaret Wilson became an outlaw for Jesus but suffered the consequences; Judith Weinberg's declared love for God cost her, her life; Betty Stam's life was full of danger and eventually it caught up with her; Esther John made a decision to give her life to God and signed her own death warrant.
