Book review: Daughters of the King




This lovely book, Daughters of the King, is a true treasure! I was admittedly a bit hesitant initially, having read my share of cheesy moralizing tales over the years. But with her honest, humble grasp of real life struggles, Natasha Metzler quickly laid my cynicism to rest. 

The topics addressed in these beautiful stories are keenly relatable and very relevant to any young woman (or older - I kept wanting to highlight passages!). The allegories are easy to spot, but are not heavy-handed or forced. I especially loved that not all the chapters end with a “Prince Charming”, yet all point to the joy found in serving wherever the King chooses. I was challenged and uplifted by the reminders of the high calling I have as a daughter of the King. 



 I can’t wait to introduce my six-year-old daughter to Daughters of the King when she is just a little older. ❤ This would be a beautiful volume to give to any pre-teen or teen, or to use as a discussion starter in a book club or Bible study. I wish I'd had it when I was growing up.
