The Princess and the Kiss by Jennie Bishop Book Review & Giveaway


The Princess and the Kiss: A Story of God’s Gift of Purity is a beautiful tale that unfolds in a splendid castle. A loving king and queen present their daughter with a gift from God—her first kiss—to keep or to give away. This precious gift is kept safe by the king and queen while the princess grows up.

As various suitors compete for the princess’ attention, the wise girl waits for the man who is worthy of her precious gift. The story beautifully portrays the ageless message that “love comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith” (1 Timothy 1:5, NIV).

The surprising answer in this marvelous parable will touch the heart of parent and child alike. It’s a perfect tool for teaching young girls about what it means to be pure in an impure world. Whether given as a gift or used as a teaching resource, this book will help children understand the value of a pure heart.

My Thoughts:

I remember when this book came out several years ago. I read it several times to my daughter and son. (there is also a boy's version of this book) I loaned the book out and it never came back. I’m glad that someone enjoyed the message as much as I did. I forgot about the book and replacing it on my bookshelf. When I opened this book, I saw my now 21-year-old’s face light up. She still remembers the message that is told in this story. This book tells the story of purity. Purity isn’t a popular message these days. A much-needed message for our kid's heart. @warnerpress @frontgatem 


The book is beautifully illustrated and fully colored on every page. The story reads like a fairy tale to capture the imagination of children.

The book doesn’t read like a preachy book shoving purity down your throat. It shows some of the most common traits that young girls and women look for in a man. Prince Peacock is handsome and mighty. He has one flaw he is full of himself and too self-centered. Next, you meet Prince Romance who is charming and would spoil her and take her to many places. This prince would lose interest and his feelings would wane for her when his excitement of spoiling her fades away. The last suitor is Prince Treasurechest. He is very materialistic and would shower her with treasure and give her the finest things.  Her kiss would not be special to him as his eyes are on the treasures this world has to offer. Many suitors came to try and win her hand in marriage.

Would she ever find a husband who was worthy of her kiss? Her mother reminds her that God will bring her a husband, that would truly treasure her.  A simple farmer comes to the castle asking to see the princess. The simple man told her, “I have no gold and have no means to take her to exotic places.  He whispers all I have is one special gift to offer you. He had God’s gift that was given to him on the day he was born and saved it for the special woman who would become his wife.  The book ends with 1 Timothy 1:5.
