The Prince of Owr Nancy Christenson

The Prince of Owr is an allegory of the love of Christ for every individual. The crown prince of the Kingdom of Owr (Hebrew for "light") falls in love with a lowly and abused woman. He realizes that in order to court her, he must for a time conceal his true identity, laying aside his glory and wooing her in her own world. The second half of the book is an in-depth look at the symbolism of the story and the inspiration behind its creation."What a beautiful story. There is something other-worldly and enchanting about it-you found a haunting and beautiful voice...." (S. M.)"I want you to know that your fairy tale has profoundly impacted my life, and explained a lot about myself and why I feel the way I do. ... [I]t almost seemed like I was reading about myself." (A. K.)[The story] is beautifully done, and describes Christ's love for us in a warm and wonderful way. I have trouble seeing and feeling His love for me in that personal, intimate way, but I'll work on it! (V. B.)
