But it is more than knowledge; it is from her heart."-Susan Huston, Etiquette Instructor"Hi, Lisa! I was so excited to find out about you. I have two daughters and have been searching for a Godly alternative to everyday etiquette."-Jana R - Mother/Teacher"Being a woman of God can make you think of many different things, but reading Princess Charm School has made so many things clear! This book has shown me that no matter what, I mean something to God. It has shown I am capable of following my dreams and making them a reality. I would like to say Thank You for your wise words. You have no idea what it means to me."-Auburn K.--Former Student"Hi, Lisa! I was so excited to find out about you. I have two daughters and have been searching for a Godly alternative to everyday etiquette."-Jana R - Mother/Teacher"My daughter and her friend read your book Princess Charm School together and learned what a virtuous woman looks like, also while learning about etiquette and other things they needed to know about being God's daughter. Thank you for writing this book. I know both of them will take your good advice, and use it as they grow and mature into adulthood."-Shelly K.--Mother"God Bless you for your work! Such a sweet, simple way to explain Godliness in young ladies lives."--Mrs. Cochran--Girl's LeaderLisa Harris' book, Princess Charm School, is such a gift. I have also heard Lisa speak and I love her heart. Appropriateness whether in manners, conversation or dress is no longer a priority in our culture. The result is there is a vast amount of ignorance concerning these things. Princess Charm School teaches the lost art of manners, also known as etiquette, which gives the learner a poise and grace that is so needing to be revived. But it goes even deeper than that. Lisa's deeply felt heart's desire to share the Good News about the only One who can make true heart change in a person's life is a strong thread throughout the book. I was blessed with a grandmother who was a true Christian lady in every sense of the word even though she was poor most of her life. Whether you had a role model or not you can turn to this book to find out what you need to know or just fill some gaps to become the gracious woman God desires you to be. Great for individual study or in a group.--S. Coody--Amazon Customer
