The Lion Princess — Journey to an Awakening
Praise from Readers in Just One Month
Dear John,
Your tale of Alice in The Lion Princess – Journey to an Awakening captivates so well the thought processes of an intelligent twelve year old eager to learn of the challenges and mysteries that await her future. Unforeseen dangers happening in her life lend suspense to the story as she must deal with the unknown through her own ingenuity and her underlying faith. This story will lend to the young reader an awareness of the nature of people as well as of animals, so dependent upon the understanding and compassion of others.
Thank you so much for this delightful book. I am especially intrigued by your capability to write such a delightful story which will appeal to children and adults of all ages, and especially to those who love animals.
Wishing You Much Success and Blessings,
Mary Barbara G. Yokum, M.Ed.

Mr. John
I go to San Jacinto Christian Academy. I am reading your Lion Princess book. I like it. I think my friends will want to read it, too.

The Lion Princess helps a child and even an adult see how their faith in Jesus as they pray can comfort them and deliver them in a difficult situation. A very meaningful book!

Hey, John,
Finished your Lion Princess last night. Just read a little in the evenings to relax and looked forward to it. It is an enjoyable read. You did a good job. Thanks for the book and the autograph. It means a lot to me.
Thanks,

John, now it is my turn to have tears in my eyes. What a lovely book and I am so touched and proud of the dedication. It came yesterday evening and I sat down and read it through in one big gulp. It's a lovely story and the cover photo is, of course, perfect. I am ordering four more copies -- in the mail today.

The Lion Princess was a lovely read — so creative, with deep meaning. Not having read a sweet fairy tale that has depth to it for a long time, it makes me want to go back and read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Hinds Feet for High Places. I'd put this work right up there with them!
