Erin shares the story of how she got the idea for Bible Belles. "We needed a birthday gift for our niece and thought it would be cool to rewrite the Bible story of the woman who shares her name. Hannah was a great, godly woman and our niece could learn about humility, strength, and trust in the Lord.
We gave our niece the book, and we were surprised to find out that she wasn’t familiar with the story of Hannah. We asked around, and it turned out that a lot of girls just aren’t familiar with the stories of the women in the Bible. However, the girls we talked to could name all of the Disney Princesses. If they can do that, we thought, why not women of the Bible? After our ‘girls should know about these women’ moment, Bible Belles was born. That effort blossomed into Truth Becomes Her, a movement to teach the next generation of young women to embrace their worth and calling.
