/ by Marlee Alex ; illustrated Florence Magnin
- 32 pages : color illustrations
As a sister of Moses and Aaron, Miriam shares the suffering and hardship of her people the children of Israel, who are forced to work as slaves under the oppression of the cruel Egyptian king. Though it was her two brothers that took the spiritual leadership of Israel, Miriam had her part to play in encouraging her people too. She supported their ministry in prayer and took the initiative in leading the people in worship, urging them always to look to God despite outward circumstances. Her persistence in prayer is an example to us all. Like Miriam you, too, can experience that God answers prayer and wants to use you to do His will.
