Customer Reviews

Excellent book that speaks loud and clear.

Every woman of God should read. Encouraging and a blessing, equips us for service

Must Read

I absolutly loved this book. It spoke to me so loudly, most of the book is highlighted haha. She talks about how we are daughters of God and we should carry ourselves that way. We are not to chase men but allow the men to choose us. God loves us so much he will provide our mate, we are not to choose.

Perfect for All Women - A Must Read

A JEWEL IN HIS CROWN is a delightful study into a woman's life and her place in the royal court of God. Both the book and workbook provide an in-depth exploration of issues relevant to a woman's life at all stages and her relationships with all people. Shirer points out that women are Royalty, and they need to look for their place in God's Court. As daughters of the King, women should put on their own crown and at once take upon the qualities of one in a royal court. It is vital for women to claim their inheritance. If they don't' they block God's purpose for their life and insult Him by trying to be someone they are not. Though the book or workbook can easily be used separately, together they provide a more complete tool. The book(s) are filled with topics, which encourage women to be women, to glory in their likeness to God, and to embrace the fact they were specially fashioned by Him. The book version includes in each chapter: a study, a prayer and a list of things to consider. The Journal is unique. Chapter by chapter, it accompanies A JEWEL IN HIS CROWN perfectly. Questions, quotes and scriptures are designed to bring a woman's gem-like qualities to the surface, where they belong. Shirer relates her own difficulties in relationships and then later, candidly shares the important lessons she learned from overcoming the trials. Both books are rich with tools to bring all women into the glory of their womanhood. Audience: A JEWELL IN HIS CROWN, the book and journal, is suitable for teens and young adult women. Older women will benefit as well, as the knowledge extracted from these books will teach women about their value as a woman, and prepare their spirits, mind and bodies for the man God has chosen for them. By doing so, and applying the principles in the book and journal, unmarried women can then enter into a married union with the fullness of grace God has provided, with the man God has selected to be their groom. Either book, or both as a set, would be an appropriate gift to a young woman in her teens and can aid all women in their journey as God's woman. Married and older women as well will enjoy the set and be able to deepen their understanding of their place in God's Kingdom, their place on the earth, and their place in other people's lives.

A Jewel in His Crown

I am at an age to have the privilege of mentoring many young women. Almost every woman I've met has dealt with low self image (very few exceptions). Shirer's book is THE BOOK I recommend. Priscilla speaks to ALL women, not to only a select group. This book challenges women to see themselves as their heavenly Father sees them. The book offers insight, hope, challenge, and makes one rethink the lie believed about SELF. If I had the power, I'd place "A Jewel in His Crown" into the hands of every woman. It's THAT life changing!

God made us just the way He wanted us to be.

Priscilla has really captured my attention as someone who speaks from her heart. She has created a book that should be read by every woman out there that has doubts about her purpose in life. Although I am a Christian and know that my Heavenly father loves me, reading Priscilla's book reminds me of this and truly gave a beautiful picture of my role as a female in God's world. This book did wonders for my self esteem, reassuring me that through thick or thin I am a "Jewel in His Crown." What a wonderful thought to think about when things aren't going as I think they should. All I need to remember is "God would never give me anything that I could not handle." With God as my partner, I will always be on the winning edge.

A New Jewel

This book changed my life. I cannot express how much Priscilla's words spoke to me. The Lord really used her in this book. She showed herself as vulnerable and in return she was seen as real person to the reader in the book, not just some boring words on a page. I will forever look at myself differently because of this book. I am 22 years old and I have read a great number of Christian women's books, but this one in the diamond in the rough. So many of those books speak only to certain groups of women but, this book will speak to any age of women, single or married. I was very greatful of that. Thank you, Priscilla for speaking your heart.

You are a sparkle in His eye.......

Ladies...we joke about it and say little remarks in passing, but we are very seldom truthful about it.....our self-esteem. Priscilla Evens Shirer takes a candid look about what we have been told we are and who we really are in the sight of God. This is a book for real woman with real issues. Priscilla Evens Shirer makes the Bible come to live as she goes through practical applications of Biblical stories. The references sent me running to my Bible to go deeper into the word. Her passion for seeing God women know who they are in the sight of God can be seen in every page. She bravely exposes her own heartache in order to teach us not to settle for anything less than God's best.I will never be the same after reading this book. My future friends, husband and children are going to have a better Karen because of this deposit of wisdom that has been placed in my Spirit. I suggest you get a journal and write to your heart cries. You will be amazed how much it will show you about yourself. Don't rush. Take your time to see your own sparkles (and rejoice in them) and evaluate where the Master Jeweler needs to buff out the impurities.
