Booklets

Pray Your Way into Their Story
This “Pray Your Way into Their Story” booklet will help prospective members, as well as all Daughters, explore how Service and Evangelism is an essential result of Prayer. The phrase, “Prayer-Care-Share” summarizes how our commitment to pray, serve, and evangelize can flow into each other as a continuous circle. This booklet is used with National Study Guide or as additional chapter study resource.

Mary Davenport’s “Work Among Girls”
This booklet contains the original address that Mary Davenport gave to her fellow sisters in The Order at the 1899 National Assembly of The Order of the Daughter of the King^® held in Atlanta, Georgia, in which she presents the need to start a “Junior Branch” of The Order. As the Junior Daughters were formally established at the Assembly, Mrs. Davenport is rightfully considered the founding mother of the Junior Daughters. The booklet also contains biographical information of Mary Davenport.

Ada Loaring-Clark's "Prayer and Service"
"Prayer and Service: An Explanation of the Work of The Order" was written by former National President Ada Loaring-Clark in 1936 for The Spirit of Missions, then reprinted as a brochure. This is how The Order understood its mission at its 50th anniversary. Remarkably, with a few revisions it would accurately describe the work of The Order in the 21st century--though the annual dues today are $40 instead of $1 and we no longer have chapters in Canada.
