Customer Reviews

Must read for every hurting woman!

God desires His daughter's to know that Restoration is possible in our lives. As with her husband, T.D. Jakes, Serita Jakes is a powerful writer and hits home with her vulnerable writing.In this book she compares today's hurting woman with the story of Cinderella and how through God's healing love, "we can make it to the ball". She touches on the subject that God longs to be our secret keeper, and that He wants us to be honest with Him about our doubts, fears, and insecurities.I highly suggest this book to every woman--whether she has been abused or abandoned, this book can show you how to lift up your head and walk without shame!

The Princess Within Was Right On Time

The Princess Within by Serita Jakes is a book that encourages women to realize she can find within herself 'the princess within'. Using the story of Cinderella as a backdrop, Serita Jakes shares personal dilemmas and triumphs (becoming injured in a car accident and learning how to walk again, and in her younger days suffering from the woes of picking the wrong relationship. My favorite part is when she writes letters to the Secret Keeper experessing her very innermost feeling. She has a wonderful style of writing, serene and full of wisdom. This is a great book for women to read and is highly recommended.

I felt as if she were talking directly to me!

While reading The Princess Within, I had the feeling that First Lady Jakes was ministering to me directly. I have always admired her grace, charm and natural beauty; this book was filled with experiences that cultivated these qualities in her. I appreciated the candor expressed in this book, as revealed in several journal entries to the Secret Keeper. If you are struggling with your past and the "Cinderella Syndrome", this book is a MUST for your library. Be careful, this book is not a self-help, self-empowerment book, it is written by a saved (Christian) woman, from that point of view. There is nothing we can do to save ourselves, but First Lady Jakes' book points the way to the One . . .

Exceptional Reading - Christian/Saved Women Get This Book

I had a chance to meet the author of this book during a Womens' Conference at The Potters House Church on 9/23/99-9/26/99. She autographed my copy for me. This book is a revelation to those of us who have struggled for years with not feeling we were good enough, who felt we were inadequate and who never thought our childhood dreams would become adult realities. First Lady Jakes does an outstanding job of teaching us Christian/Saved Ladies how to be confident in who we are in the Lord and who the Lord is in us. Personally meeting First Lady Jakes was a joy and a pleasure and this book came directly from her soul. It is helping me realize that God is there to help and assist us in every area of our lives; and He has been there all the time. This book is writen like a secret diary to the Lord. How exciting to read how the Lord has blessed this wonderful woman of God; and lets us know that God has everything under control if we just trust in Him and let Him be in control. A Must Have for the Christian Womens Library; it will certainly bless your soul.
