Bethany Hamilton: Riding the Waves
Growing up in Hawaii, Bethany Hamilton loved being outside and joining her friends and brothers in adventures. She especially loved to surf. One calm morning while she was waiting for a wave, a fourteen-foot tiger shark crept up on her and swiftly severed her arm. After being rushed to the hospital and recovering, this thirteen-year-old was determined to surf again. And she did -- just three weeks after her accident. Overcoming doubts and physical challenges, Bethany went on to compete in surfing contests around the world and has inspired millions through her strength and faith to keep riding the waves. (1990-). Hardcover, 32 pages.

Eric Liddell: Running for a Higher Prize
Just when Eric Liddell's dream was coming true, he stunned the world by refusing to run his Olympic race on a Sunday, a day he believed was for honoring God. Many people thought Eric was a traitor and a fool, for they were sure he would have won. But Eric believed God's promise "He who honors me, I will honor" - and God kept His promise. From winning Olympic gold to leaving his fame behind to go to China as a missionary, Eric put God in first place. (1902-1945).  Hardcover, 32 pages.

Corrie ten Boom: Shining in the Darkness
When Nazi Germany occupied Holland, Corrie ten Boom (1892-1983) and her family risked everything to extend God's hand of love and protection to their Jewish neighbors. A perfect hiding place was built into the wall of Corrie's bedroom, but would Corrie have the courage to keep the secret, even if it meant she and her family would suffer greatly? In the darkest of nights Corrie's compassion, sacrifice, and forgiving spirit were a shining testimony to the triumph of God's love over evil. "No pit is so deep," she believed, "that God's great love is greater still." Hardcover, 32 pages.

Nick Vujicic: No Limits
Born without arms or legs, Nick Vujicic (1982-) overcame tremendous physical and emotional challenges as he grew up. Rather than shrink back from trouble or give up in times of trial, this bold Australian pursued a life filled with exploration of what he could do. Now a world-renowned speaker and author, he encourages others to see themselves as precious to God and to live without limits. Nick's example of Christian character is an inspiration to everyone who feels weighed down by the challenges of disabilities, mistreatment, feelings of inferiority, and more. Hardcover, 32 pages.

Hudson Taylor: A Friend of China
Other missionaries laughed when blond-haired, blue-eyed Hudson Taylor (1832-1905) announced his plans to serve God among the people of China. He was so pale; the Chinese would think he was a ghost! But Hudson knew that God had called him to spread the gospel in that ancient land, and he believed that God would help him. This young man's faith led to the founding of the China Inland Mission and firmly established the gospel of Jesus in the hearts of Chinese people. Hardcover, 32 pages.
