How to Be a Bible Princess was written by Catherine Mackenzie. The book's pink cover featuring flowers and glitter is sure to appeal to young girls. The book helps girls understand how they can be part of God's royal family, clearly presenting the gospel message of salvation through Jesus. Each chapter begins with a quiz that introduces that chapter's focus. The book features stories of women in the Bible, both good and evil, including lesser known figures such as Jehosheba and Michal. Each chapter points to a passage in the Bible that girls can look up and read to discover more about these women. Each chapter also contains a section of princess tips to help girls learn what it means to really be a princess who lives according to biblical standards. Each chapter ends with a section relating to that chapter's theme that points to Jesus and gives additional relevant biblical passages to read. The book is written in a conversational style and has some illustrations throughout. One thing that I did not like was the use of the word "idiot" in one chapter; I do not consider that an appropriate term to use in a book for young girls in the intended age range of 8 – 12. As a note for American readers, the book was published by a company in the United Kingdom and contains some English phrases and spellings that may be unfamiliar to girls in the United States. Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book as part of the Christian Focus 4 Kids blog tour.
