Emulating the format of Raising a Modern-Day Princess,
authors Doreen Hanna and Karen Whiting seek to help parents and
grandparents cultivate strong relationships and encourage the spiritual
formation in their daughters using examples, Bible teaching on the fruit
of the Spirit, and a variety of creative activities that are based on
Galatians 5:22-23, the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control).
By
implementing the ideas in this book, mothers (as well as fathers) will
be equipped to understand and guide their daughters through each step of
becoming His “princess.” This will include perceiving a daughter’s unique personality and gifts, refining her character through training and discipline, and modeling the attributes of a daughter of the King.
This book is a follow-up to both Raising a Modern-Day Knight (by Robert Lewis) and Raising a Modern- Day Princess by
Pam Farrel and Doreen Hanna. While the latter book is aimed at parents
of girls ages 12 and up, this book focuses on building the Christian
character of younger girls.
