If I could, I would personally give everyone I know a copy of Raising a Modern-Day Princess.
January 4, 2010
Format:Paperback
The book Raising a Modern-Day Princess by authors Pam Farrel and Doreen Hanna has moved me and it's entirely changed my way of thinking in how to raise my own daughter as well as taught me how to influence the young woman around me.
Grace, dignity, inner beauty, and self worth, traits every daughter of the King should have instilled into her life. Often enough no one is taking the time to celebrate daughter's journey into becoming the woman God has created them to be. It's not hard at at all to do this, in fact Raising a Modern-Day Princess suggest many types of rite of passage celebrations both big and small that can change and impact a girls life forever. The examples of personal testimony of mothers, fathers, and daughters that took part in this are ever so moving.
Not often is it that a book speaks such revelations that tugged at my heart strings and left me in tears. I encourage every sister as well as brothers in Christ to pick up this book and read it.
I promise you, if you take the advice of this book, whom ever God has laid on your heart will feel purpose, value, and strength in moving forward and following the path God has laid in front of them.
This book is on the top favorite reads for 2010 and ten for me, and I am quite honored and blessed by those that contributed in writing these words of truth. If I could, I would personally give everyone I know a copy of Raising a Modern-Day Princess. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

By Novel Teen
Format:Paperback
Most girls dream of living out their own fairy-tale romance. They are bombarded from childhood with stories of beautiful princesses swept off their feet by a handsome, noble prince. It's a beautiful dream, but without practical, life-changing mentoring, girls are often disillusioned when their first love disappoints. Some girls fall into a pattern of giving their heart to the wrong guy. And those of us who've been hurt know there is no Band-Aid for a broken heart.
Here is a practical book filled with ideas and stories of what other moms and mentors have done to come alongside young women and affirm their self-confidence, beauty, and value. The authors share the importance of mentoring and coming-of-age ceremonies that teach girls who they are and how to recognize a handsome, noble prince beyond his outward appearance. Readers are encouraged to seize the challenge of imparting wisdom to the girls in their life. If we don't do it, someone else will or our girls will be left to face the world on their own.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has young girls in their life. God calls us to train a child in the way that they should go, but many adults skip the "relationship stuff" as being too awkward to talk about. This "relationship stuff" is one of the most important teachings teenagers need, crave. Who better than to teach it that the loving adults in their life?
Having served in youth ministry for eleven years, I've seen heartbreaking things. But almost more heartbreaking that a girl's broken heart is the fact that her parents neglected the challenge to teach her the truth. Parents, we can't control the choices our children make, but we are called by God to give them the tools and knowledge to make the right choice. The world is teaching them every day. Get this book for your daughters and get Raising a Modern-Day Knight: A Father's Role in Guiding His Son to Authentic Manhood for your sons. Affirm your children as they journey into adulthood.

This book is almost completely about having a "rite of passage" party for your daughter. It is not about "raising" a girl in today's world. If you are looking for reasons why you should have a debutante ball at your church and/or how to implement it, then I would suggest this book.
If you are looking for something that encourages you as a parent to instill Christian truths into your daughter OVER THE COURSE OF TIME (i.e. as you raise her) while navigating through the positives and negatives of feminism and the modern lifestyle, look elsewhere.
I would suggest a book like Captivating Revised & Updated: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul more than this one for such a purpose. It doesn't address parenting specifically, but it does address our modern culture.
