Book Review: The Princess Within For Teens

The Princess Within For Teens
Discovering Your Royal Heritage
Serita Ann Jakes
Copyright. July.2014

I believe this book will be an invaluable tool for young women.  I find it to be very encouraging.   I find the excercises in the What's Your Story sessions to be beneficial for a young woman's growth. 

This book deals with serious issues such as self image, peer pressure even rape  but it also has a playful side with its retelling of Cinderella into a modern day fairytale.

This book reminds young women that some activities like drinking and doing drugs take more than time they can take your life.  

This book gets a well deserved five out of five stars...

Book Review: You Are A Daughter of the King

You Are A Daughter of the King
Gail M Hayes PHD
Copyright 2005

This is a great book for woman and a reminder for Christian Woman that our worth is not measured in whether or not we can find the latest designer clothes.  


This book also reminds us that it is okay to be girlie to enjoy being the women  God created us to be.  I like how she reminds us in this book that we dont have to be stick thin to dress or feel like a woman.  In this day and age with things like Anorexia and Bullimia being brought on from poor self image  I am glad to find a book that points this out.


I give this book five stars because of its value to a Christian woman.

Book Review: A Time to Dance

A Time to Dance
Padma Venkatraman
Copyright 2014

This is a beautifully told lyrical novel that tells of young girl in Indias passion for dance.  It shows her learning to dance with her prostetic leg.  I find this tale beautifully told.  This is a story about falling down and getting back up again and it is also a story about showing others as well as herself what she is capable of.  


I give five out of five stars for this beautifully told book.
