How To Be God's Little Princess

How To Be God's Little Princess
Royal Tips of Manners and Etiquette for Girls
by Sheila Walsh

Finally, a handbook for being a princess!  With her witty ways, Sheila Walsh approaches the topic of manners, responsibility, helping, loving God and many other topics important to girls in this fun book.  Great for girls aged 7-10, it can easily be adapted for girls as young as 5 and into the teen years.  A really fun way to get some answers on growing up topics while keeping the girl mindful of God and her being his daughter, his "princess".  Moms will find enjoyment in reading this book as well!

Your little "princess" will enjoy reading or having it read to her.  Fun to look at, fun to read, a win win for sure.  Included in the book is line art in black and white, accompanied by an interior that is pink and black.  Each art piece is connected to a "how to" topic, such as: "how to make the best pink cookies, how to wear a tiara, how to earn money at home, how to care for a royal dog, how to be respectful, how to use good manners, how to help Mom, how to follow Jesus, how to act like a princess when things go terribly wrong, and many more".  Along with each topic is a quiz for the girl to answer, checking to see whether one is ready to be a princess or needs more help.

The Shelter of God's Promises

The Shelter of God's Promises

by Sheila Walsh

In this beautifully flowing book, Sheila Walsh paints a picture of God's unfailing, un-ending, unconditional love for us through her words, thoughts, anecdotes, stories, biblical references and scholarly quotes.  Each chapter is broken down into short sections all contributing and flowing into the overall thought for the chapter, such as Promises.  Well written and easy to read, whether in a complete chapter all at once, or in short sections throughout the day or even week, this book offers a lot of food for thought and contemplation.

Offering insight on ten different topics under the umbrella of God's promises and the shelter and protection they provide, Walsh offers hope, joy, learning and confidence in walking daily with Christ.  I found this book difficult to put down and also found myself really reflecting upon my own life in terms of each of the ten topics, finding times where each promise was indeed visible in my experiences.  Written in a way that softly and gently reminds one of God's love and promises through some of life's most difficult times, the author brings in bible characters and their stories of struggle to illustrate His timeless promises.

I would consider this book worthy of a small group study material as well as individual reading and reflection.  Well worth the read, you'll find yourself at peace and understanding a little more deeply Christ's love for his children.
