The Princess Within for Teens: Discovering Your Royal Inheritance by Serita Ann Jakes

It's time to get ready for the ball. Girls of all ages want to feel like Cinderella at the ball. But maybe you feel more like Cinderella before the ball—overlooked, inadequate, hurting, maybe even used and abused. Sometimes it's hard to feel beautiful, in God's eyes or your own, when something or someone has robbed you of your inner beauty. Serita Ann Jakes understands those feelings. She knows how past failures and present hurts can prevent you from realizing your true identity in Jesus Christ. She has helped hundreds of girls work through personal struggles, and now she wants to help you. Whether you're struggling with poor self-esteem, difficult friendships, family problems, secret shame, or something else, above all, she wants you to know, You are a princess—a daughter of the King! Serita Ann's insights and encouragement will give you the courage and strength to shed your tattered rags and find your inner princess—and to walk in confidence as a young woman who knows her true beauty comes from a Christ-honoring life. My Review: I never thought of myself as a princess, however like the author says we are all daughters of the King. This is a great book for all teenage girls. Being a teen is hard, and this author wants you to be an inner princess, so you can have a princess life. This book had great ideas and I even am going to use some of the author's suggestions. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review from Bethany House, however all opinions are my own.
