The story was inspired by the Bible's Matthew 13:44-45 where Jesus reveals that people will seek happiness from material goods and beauty, but that the happiness found in heaven far exceeds any found on Earth.
Next, "Princess Charity's Courageous Heart" follows the adventurous princess as she makes a difficult choice. Inspired by the Bible's Good Samaritan story, Charity must decide if she should break her father's orders to save another's life or turn a blind eye.
The fearless princess became overwhelmed with compassion for an injured boy and risked her own life by saving him. Taking the risk came with a reward, and Charity not only made a new friend, but restored peace in her kingdom.
In Luke 10:30-37, Jesus explains that we should be giving and kind in whatever way possible.
Lastly, the third new book, "Princess Faith's Mysterious Garden," sees Faith growing in her relationship with God despite hard times. As she determinedly tries to build a garden, Faith faces disappointment after struggling to grow plants and when a storm destroys her work.
"Even though we don't understand why things like this happen, God uses these things to grow our hearts," the story reads.
Following dedication and hard work Faith's garden flourishes. The tale was inspired by Matthew 13:1-23, which relates a garden's seeds growing just as God's words grow in our hearts.
Each story successfully incorporates lessons found in Scripture without overwhelming the reader or losing focus on the importance one's relationship with God and family. Folded up in a neat and clear message, each story's conclusion not only demonstrates quality Christian behavior, but highlights the rewards of doing so.
The books are illustrated by Argentinian artist Omar Aranda who uses vibrant colors to add to the text. All three newest "Princess Parables" installments are available for $12.99 each.
