    About this ebook

    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.)

    Nancy Fowler Christenson

    Nancy Christenson has loved writing for as long as she can remember.Many years ago she dropped out of university, intending to take a year off and decide what she really wanted to study. She never went back. But when she left the bastions of higher education, she took two important things with her: the discipline of prolific journalling and a new classical guitar. In her single years, she used her journal and songwriting to process thoughts, emotions, and life itself. At 24 years of age, she became a follower of Jesus, and this impacted her writing ever after.When she was 30, she married a wonderful man. The responsibilities of the four babies that then arrived in quick succession left little time for creative pursuits. But in her early 40s she wrote her first full-length book, a memoir, "Yes, I Really Was a Cowgirl." This was followed by a number of shorter projects; then came another major book in 2009, about her marriage: "Made in Heaven, Fleshed Out on Earth."Nancy and her husband, Greg, live near Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada. Their two sons and two daughters are adults now, and the family circle continues to grow with the addition of their spouses and children.She can be reached at nancy@ogdenfish.com.
