I was so excited to receive my latest book to review, "The Prince Warriors", written by one of my favorite bible study speakers, Priscilla Shirer. Priscilla is a gifted author, and I loved that she was branching out to write a fiction book. "The Prince Warriors" is the first book in a epic new trilogy written for a Juvenile audience, but can be enjoyed any age group.
The book centers around four children that take a trip to another realm known as Ahoratos.
Ahoratos is the spiritual realm that parallels the children's lives on earth. As quoted from the story, "Earth is but a shadow of the unseen realm. This is the real world where the battles rage, where your true enemy lies." It is a place of adventure, but also one of great danger. There are twists and turns around every corner, and nothing is at is seems.
The children are guided by a mysterious creature named, Ruwach. He will help to equip and challenge them to always follow the way of Truth. Following their hearts and desires will get them into a lot of danger in the land of Ahoratos. Ruwach will help to show them that they were created and equipped to be Warriors.
One of the reasons I love this book is that it parallels the Bible. In the book of Ephesians there is a chapter that talks about the "Armor of God", and how as Jesus followers we battle an enemy. He is an enemy we cannot see, but is real and evil nonetheless. This is a book of fiction, but many of the principles about our unseen battle hold true.
I think children and youth will like this action-packed book...they will not be bored! This book will give parents an opportunity to open discussions about the truth of the Bible as it pertains to our battle with our unseen enemy. Obviously, I am writing from a Christian viewpoint, but I think this book can be enjoyed by all.
I received this complimentary book from B&H Publishing, and in turn am writing this review. Thank you B&H Publishing.
