In an effort to give girls aged 4-10 positive role models from the Bible, Erin and Brent Weidemann created the Bible Belles series (@BibleBelles). Erin’s life experiences as a five-time cancer survivor, wife, and mother inspired her to create a brand focused on inspiring girls and women of all ages to fulfill their destiny, redefine the world’s messages of beauty and worth, and promote positive, powerful female role models in Scripture and modern culture.

The Bible Belles series uses five remarkable women from the Bible – Hannah (prayer), Esther (patience), Abigail (bravery), Ruth (loyalty), and Deborah (leadership) – to teach young girls how to feel confident about their worth, bodies, and purpose in today’s challenging world. Erin Weidemann authored the series, and the couple partnered with a Disney animator to illustrate the books.

“Bible Belles has become more than a business,” said co-founder Erin Weidemann (@ErinWeidemann). “For us, as parents of a young girl, it’s personal. We’re particularly aware of the challenges girls face today, and it’s our continued prayer that these books will help young girls everywhere learn to see their real value and beauty in the Lord.”

The books are available in the Bible Gateway Store:

• Deborah: The Belle of Leadership
• Ruth: The Belle of Loyalty
• Abigail: The Belle of Bravery
• Esther: The Belle of Patience
• Hannah: The Belle of Prayer

Bible Belles is partnering with World Vision to support its mission of helping children around the world. For every Deborah book purchased, Bible Belles and World Vision will donate a Bible Belles book to a girl living in an under-resourced community in the United States.
