Little girls love stories about princesses. They all want to be
one. Providing great role models is very important. My Princess
Bible is an adorable Bible created with those factors in
mind. However, the focus is not on the exterior but on what a princess
of God looks like on the inside.
As soon as my daughter saw this Bible, she loved it. Nineteen
of the twenty princesses are actually women of the Bible. They
are portrayed in a way that is respectful yet makes them look like
a princess. The stories are written in the form of a poem, with
a Scripture reference provided. At the end, the main principle
is reviewed, and two phrases are provided where you can insert
your daughter's name and teach her what she should be doing. The
last princess covered is the child herself. The poem reviews all
that God requires of His special princesses.
The book is a hardcover, which I like, because I can see us using
it for many years to come with our two daughters. The poems are
short enough to keep a young child's attention and get the point
across. Using the child's name in the phrases at the end makes
it more personal, and the repetition helps to reinforce that she
is God's special princess, a message that is not focused on in
today's society. The illustrations are colorful yet simple, and
they create a focus on each individual princess.
This is a Bible any little girl is sure to love. It's sturdy and
able to handle many years of use. Princesses never go out of style,
and if learning what it takes to be God's special princess is something
you want to instill in your daughter, this is a great place to
start.
