“When I (Doreen) was a budding author, and a Princess with a dream, I was passionate to share what God had put on my heart and had the privilege of seeing him at work in the lives of those who had implemented the Christ centered rite-of-passage into young womanhood.
“I took great joy in sharing these amazing results that launched me excitedly on my quest to be published. After pursing various publishers for 7 years and 12 book proposals rejections later, Focus on the Family, my dream publisher, embraced our Raising a Modern Day Princess proposal (co-author, Pam Farrell).
I never thought a second dream would come true. With great surprise, Focus On the Family asked Karen Whiting and I to write Raising a Young Modern Day Princess, that was released in late Fall of 2016.
“We, Karen Whiting, my co-author, and I, chose to focus on developing the Fruit of the Spirit in little princesses’ hearts.
- Our goal was to equip and encourage moms, dads, and grandparents (a reality for many today) with practical ways to grow Christ like character in the hearts of their little girls.
Each chapter contains true heartfelt and sometimes humorous stories of the authors, and other contributing moms, of their attempts to grow the Fruit of the Spirit in their little girl’s heart. It gives hope for every mom or dad who have felt they might have failed.
There are over 100 activities included within the pages of the book. Each chapter’s activities focus on that particular Fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
- It also includes a Dad’s Tool Box for dads or men of integrity who are influencers in a young girl’s life that will empower them to help nurture each Fruit in their little girl’s life, by example as well as by instruction and suggested activities.
Doreen continues, “I pray many parents and grandparents will find this book a resource to assist them in growing the Fruit of the Spirit in their girls’ lives and they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.”

I have two girls, ages 10 and 5. This sounds like a great tool to use! annettemwhipple AT gmail DOT com
Annette, thanks so much for putting your name into the drawing. Yes, it would be perfect for your girls. Blessings!
I have three young girls who would benefit from this kind of attention! It is hard for us parents to know what things to do or say to keep them in their Christian walk of life. Thanks for letting us know about this book!
Susan, sure appreciate your continued participation. I have every confidence your girls would benefit from this. I've put your name into the drawing. God bless you!
I would love the opportunity to share this with my granddaughter! Sounds great!
This book makes me think of Isaiah 62:3: "You are like a crown of jewels in God's hands." Not only do we wear a princess crown, as women (and young women) of God, but we are compared to a crown of jewels–held in God's loving hands! We have value–in Him! Blessings, Kathleen Ruckman
Michele, thanks so much for putting your name into the drawing. I hope your granddaughter gets this blessing.
Thank you Kathleen for commenting and putting your name into the drawing. What a fabulous reference to Isaiah 62:3. So appropriate. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Hi Annette, Greetings from Modern Day Princess Headquarters. Love your word use of "a great tool." It does requires work on our part as moms to build Christ like character in our girls. Blessings on all you put your hands to!
Hi Susan, Cheering you on from Modern Day Princess Headquarters! May the Lord bless you as you guide your girls into their calling as Daughters of the King.
Greetings from Modern Day Princess Headquarters! I love seeing grandmothers investing in their girls. May you see a great return on your investment.
Kathleen, Greetings from Modern Day Princess Headquarters. I too, love this verse. There is something very humbling every time I wear my crown, proclaiming my Daughter of the King status, all because of His love for me…us!
That's about he same age difference as my daughters. Have fun doing things together like making princess sparkle dust and blowing bubbles while laughing (it helps nurture joy).
I hope the book encourages you with your girls. The emotional coaching tips might be a great blessing when you need to know what to say.
As a grandmother I have done many of the activities with my grands. Great for bonding!
A great scripture to write on a crown (or the crown bookmark on page 50). Thanks for sharing that.
And the winners are…DRUM ROLL: Michele Mobley and Kathleen Ruckman. Please email me your mailing address to KathyCollardMiller AT gmail DOT com. Each of you will receive one copy from one of the authors.
Thank you to everyone who entered the drawing!
