In an effort to help young girls, teens, and the young at heart get to know God on a personal level, A Princess to the Throne was created. The book is an eight week devotional on understanding who we are in Christ, what God expects of His children, and how to study and apply scripture to a variety of questions girls struggle with as they learn to walk with God. Through my experience with helping our own girls "to learn to walk in grace" and through discipling young ladies, my passion grew to share with them God's expectations for believers. Young ladies will appreciate the theme and vision "being a princess" brings to their mind as they explore God's word in a deep and meaningful way.
