Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Is your child a fan of princesses and fairy tales? Join Princess Joy in this charming picture book based on the Parable of the Great Banquet in Luke 14:15-23, which helps teach young children ages 4-8 that we are all welcome to God's banquet in heaven--we only need to accept his invitation.
In Princess Joy's Birthday Blessing, Princess Joy loves celebrating her birthday! But when no one accepts the princesses' invitation to their sister Joy's surprise birthday party, she finds out and is sad. Then her father, the king, helps her understand that there are more ways to celebrate a special day and much better gifts to get than ones wrapped in pretty paper and bows. Joy then decides to create a party for some very special guests, creating a celebration for everyone to enjoy.
