Announcing the Princess Parables Collection!

Announcing the Exclusive Special Edition to the Princess Parables Series

The Princess Parables Collection - custom ordered by Barnes and Noble and Books-a-Million for their stores

When my youngest daughter was beginning to read, she loved to read the little I CAN READ paperbacks.  I found the more she read, the more she wanted to read.  She was beginning to get the hang of this reading adventure.  With older siblings in the house, I found that she compared herself to them.  She wanted her own “harder” chapter books to read, but she just wasn’t quite ready for that yet.  When the first Princess Parables Treasury came out with three of the books in it, my daughter felt like it was “her” chapter book.  I often found her sleeping with her beloved copy.

A couple of weeks ago, we were blessed to have Barnes and Noble and Books-a-million stores release a special edition of the I CAN READ treasury.  This hardback book includes not just three, but ALL of the Princess Parables I CAN READ level one stories.  All five of the princesses – Joy, Grace, Hope, Faith and Charity – have their own story inside.  It can only be found in stores; however, we have the exclusive book on our website store for purchase!  Don’t miss out on purchasing this fabulous new addition to the Series.  Perfect for your emerging reader!

My sweet girl would have loved to have this edition for her library years ago!

You have to understand that when God gave us the idea for the Princess Parables, we knew that He had great plans for these five sisters.  But we did not know the scope of their world or the blessing they would become to many.  He has gone before us and has gone beyond our expectations (Eph. 3:20).  We are forever grateful that He asked us to be apart of this journey!

As the authors, we want to thank Barnes and Noble and Books-a-Million for thinking our books are worthy of a custom edition.  We feel special!  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!  We hope your girls love them!

Once upon a time...

There were two women that God called to write His books,

We’d like to welcome you to our blog by introducing ourselves. 

My name is Jackie and I am a co-author of the Princess Parables. I am a missionary and Pastor’s wife, a mother of two and grandmother of seven.  I have had the privilege of serving the needs of people in the United States and in Central America.  I have worked in an orphanage and taught in the government projects in the darkest corners of South Carolina and Georgia while attending University.  As I was serving as a tribal missionary and raising my girls in Central America, I would often read to them and long for good stories that would help them build their character and learn about Kingdom principles. Imagine the blessing when numerous years later, the Lord called me to join hands with my co-author, Jeanna. It has been a privilege and delight to see God bring us together and bring these books to life!  We came to the task with God's directing and leading every step of the way.  We have merely stepped into the footprint that He left behind, as He has led us to this point.  My passion is mentoring dedicated young women with the goal of seeing them more successful than I could ever be.  Although I have never blogged before, I look forward, with great anticipation, for the moments we will share together, as God continues to teach me in this journey of life and ministry.

My name is Jeanna, also a co-author of the Princess Parables.  Jackie and I blindly stepped out in faith when God called us to write the books, and what a journey he has taken us on! As an event planner for 20 years, I see how God orchestrated my life for just this moment - from the creative writing class in Jr. High to the event proposals I wrote for the entertainment industry.  God was preparing me! I have had the opportunity to share my life mentoring and speaking to women for the last 9 years.  Now I consider it a privilege to write for you each week.  My passion is encouraging women to live intentionally in all that God has for them - in mothering, in marriage, in adventure and just in plain old day-to-day life.  I have had many life challenges that I will share in the upcoming months. God has given me the opportunity to make choices and to live to the fullest in those decisions.  I am excited to share with you the lessons I’ve learned from these choices.

So, we welcome you to the blog and invite you to join us each week as we venture into this new world of blogging!
