Book Reviews of Courage to Run: A Story Based on the Life of Harriet Tubman (Daughters of the Faith Series)
Book Review: my FAVORITE Harriet Tubman book!
Summary: 5 Stars
You may know who Harriet Tubman was, and what she did as an adult in helping other slaves, like herself. While reading this book, you'll find out what her childhood was like too, and how it formed her life into what she became.
Growing up, young Harriet's name was Araminta. (This was news to me.) Through the book, she's usually called Minty by her family & friends.
"Minty" lives in the servant's quarter on the Brodas Plantation, and works hard every single day of her life. She's constantly surrounded by her loving family and close-knit friends. Hymns are always being sung, while the slaves went about their daily work. Some of these songs are exactly what gives Minty the courage to face each new day.
"Go down, Moses.
Way down in Egypt-land.
Tell ol' Pharoh
To let My people go."
Harriet Tubman went through many trials as a child. For the most part, the slaves on the Brodas Plantation were treated fair enough, although sometimes they would receive harsh punishments. However when Minty was hired out as a maid to other people, she experienced daily thrashings. At the times when she was a hired maid, she was lonely and missed being with her family. She wanted to help others escape the heartache of her own experiences. Little did she know, that as she strengthened herself in the Lord, she was preparing to save other slaves' lives, and not just herself. Slowly, her courage grew.
Children and adults alike would benefit from reading "Courage to Run". I liked it very much, and it is my favorite book about Harriet Tubman. At any moment, I feel like I could start reading it again!
This book is a part of the "Daughters of the Faith Series".

Summary of Courage to Run: A Story Based on the Life of Harriet Tubman (Daughters of the Faith Series)
Harriet Tubman was born a slave on a Maryland plantation in the 1800's. She trusts in God, but her faith is tested at every turn. Should she obey her masters or listen to her conscience' This story from Harriet's childhood is a record of courage. Even more, it's the story of God's faithfulness as He prepares her for her adult calling to lead more than 300 people out of slavery through the Underground Railroad.
