Before You Meet Prince Charming--Sarah Mally


Hello! Here is my first book review...hope you enjoy it!

Title: Before You Meet Prince Charming

Author: Sarah Mally

Published: 2006

Background on the Author: Sarah Mally is a young lady in her 20s. She has been involved with starting a program called Bright Lights for girls and co-authored a book with her siblings called "Making Brothers and Sisters Best Friends." I've read both books and highly recommend them!

"Before You Meet Prince Charming" is a book geared to girls, especially younger ones, however, the book is excellent for girls of all ages! If you think about marriage, boys, courtship, dating, and are a girl, I highly recommend you read this book! The book emphasizes guarding your heart, preparing for marriage, delighting in the Lord, the importance of courtship and the dangers of dating, waiting for the right one, how parents can help, and more!

Each chapter begins with the story about a princess who is waiting for her prince and the struggles she goes through while waiting for him (there is also a sneaky alligator in there trying to deceive the princess). There are great illustrations and humor throughout the entire book as well. After the section on the princess, the chapter begins and talks about some of the stuff that the princess and we single girls all deal with.

I read this book for the first time several months ago, and it was a good reminder on the importance of preparing for marriage and not just dreaming about it. :-)
