“Once upon a time…” These compelling words stir something deep within us—a longing for truth, transformation, and the comfort of a good story. Folk and fairy tales have enchanted us for generations, but what if they hold more than fantasy? Daughter, Arise invites you to see these timeless tales through a new lens—one rooted in biblical truth and spiritual insight.

Just like Jesus used parables to reveal the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven in a relatable way, these beloved stories hold hidden lessons that gently reveal God’s heart for women—the heart of a Father who will not see His daughters dwell in darkness one more day, and whispers to each one as He did to Jairus’ daughter, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”

These fantastical tales give voice to the real trials and transformations involved in “growing up girl,” while reminding us that rejection and abandonment are not the end of the story. Each chapter takes a classic fairy tale and unpacks it from a Christian perspective, revealing powerful patterns of spiritual truth and celebrating the reclamation of female identity rooted in Christ. From overcoming abandonment to recovering personal value and developing faith, strength, and courage in adversity, these stories offer a treasure trove of wisdom and strategies for every woman on a quest to recover her godly identity.
