Why not check it out from a church library and read it before you write it off. You may be surprised at what you find hidden in this little book. David, I appreciate your perspective. When I know that my nobility was gained by the extreme sacrifice of the Son of God, how can do any less than serve my King? A secular but fun book on the same topic is "The Ordinary Princess." It is a delightful fairy tale! I can guess that you have not read, “The Princess and the Kiss.” Why not check it out from a church library and read it before you write it off.

It does not represent beauty at all". That wouldn't bring any glory to you as an artist at all. It's that way with God, somehow we have gotten into the mindset of thinking that the more we degrade ourselves and think of our own sinfulness the greater God is in comparison. But God is more glorified as we are glorious and reflect his glory. I think that an understanding of our own nobility as children of God will lead us to actually focus less on ourselves but have far more confidence so that we won't be self-consciousness when we are in the midst of greatness. We will have far more of an awareness of God, who made us all that we are! a really good book on this is "The Supernatural ways of Royalty". God bless!

I was just thinking about this the other day! =) I think that the "princess" theme also includes perfection- we want everything to be perfect and we want to be perfect ourselves. We also want to find the "perfect" Prince Charming. This just is not realistic thinking!! Like you said, we are all sinners and fall short of God's glory. Great topic!
