Joan of Arc
Joan of Arc
The Girl Who Heard God
by James Johnson
Dedication
For every voice that wouldn’t shut up, and every heart that obeyed anyway.
You weren’t crazy.
You were called.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
TO THE VOICES in the fire.
To the saints in the smoke.
To the girls who were never supposed to lead, but did it anyway — barefoot, unarmed, on purpose.
Thank you to those who walk with conviction when the world demands compromise.
Thank you to the ones who crown others instead of seeking their own throne.
And thank you, Joan, for reminding us that belief can be louder than armies — and braver than kings.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
JJ IS THE author of over 200 books and counting, many of which attempt the impossible:
to explain how a single human can change history.
He writes with fire in his fingers, fact in his eyes, and myth in his rearview mirror.
This book is one of those myths — but the miracle part is real.
