Finding Godly role models for girls in an ungodly world is no easy task. The best starting place is the Bible, of course, because we are given real life examples of women who served God. Sometimes we need to make these historical stories more accessible to little girls. That is just what the The Bible Belles series by Erin Weidemann aims to do. We have read book one about Hannah and now we’ve also read book two, The Adventures of Rooney Cruz: Esther the Belle of Patience.
Review of Bible Belles: Esther
The Adventures of Rooney Cruz: Esther the Belle of Patience is book two in The Bible Belles series. It’s about a little girl named Rooney and her Angel, Mari. Mari appears one day to teach Rooney about all the “superheroes” of the Bible.
The sound of the Bell[e]s will be H.E.A.R.D…– Exodus 28:35
The letters in HEARD represent each of the women of the Bible that will be featured in the series: Hannah, Esther, Abigail, Ruth, and Deborah.
In book two, Rooney learns about the importance of patience in learning to wait on the Lord and trust Him, just as Esther did when she became queen to save her people. Rooney then applies this lesson to her own life and a soccer game at school.

The story is sweet and simple while conveying Biblical truth.
With three daughters, I’m glad to see a series featuring girls of faith and women from the Bible. They are great role models!
You can find fun freebies like coloring pages and memory verse printables to go along with the Bible Belles series on their website.
The story behind the Bible Belles series is an important part of the mission. Erin Weidemann is a 5-time cancer survivor who wrote the books as a gift to her niece. She wants to share the stories of these Biblical women to inpire and encourage girls. She also hosts the podcast Heroes for Her. I highly recommend checking it out!
