The Waffen SS were considered the elite of the German armed forces in the Second World War and were involved in almost continuous combat. From the sweeping tank battle of Kursk on the Russian front to the bitter fighting among the hedgerows of Normandy and the last great offensive in the Ardennes, forever immortalized in history as the Battle of the Bulge, these men and their tanks made history.
Princess of Power was something God planted in the heart of A. F. Baker during her father’s bypass surgery. Her father was her rock and was always there for her as her gentle giant, but his mortality was something that made her have to look deep inside herself as to who she was and what she really believed about herself. Was she a daughter of the Most High King? Was she a strong warrior and conqueror in God’s army? Or was she just a troubled little farm girl that failed in many areas of life and was now destined to be a statistic and burden on her family? Through much arguing with God and delayed obedience, A. F. Baker came to see herself as the Word of God says—not just a “least of these.” As for the book, God reminded her that “she was meant for such times as these.” If she was going through it, then she was to help and/or prevent others from having to walk the same road. If hardship did come then to teach women to look deep inside themselves and see the princesses of power they were created to be.
