Book Review: The Prince Warriors

    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.


 

The Armor of God Bible Study by Priscilla Shirer (B&H/Lifeway Bloggers)

  I recently joined the B&H/Lifeway Bloggers Team, and am so happy that I get a chance to review Priscilla Shirer's newest bible study; The Armor of God.   In my opinion, Priscilla Shirer is one of the most gifted bible study teachers in today's Christian circles.  I have completed three of Priscilla's previous bible studies, and have seen her in person a couple of times at her conferences.  When I heard that Priscilla was working on a bible study about the "Armor of God" I knew it would be one I would want to complete.  B&H/Lifeway Bloggers have given me a complimentary copy of Priscilla's study, and I in turn agreed to write this review.

 The Armor of God is a DVD based study, but one can go through it without watching the DVD sessions.  However, I would always suggest finding a way to view the DVD footage as well.  There are precious nuggets of insight that you will gain through watching the DVD sessions that you might miss if you just went through the book alone.  You can download the video sessions from the Lifeway website, or find a group/Church that have purchased the Leader Kit with the DVDs included.   The study is set up to work through it in 6 weeks, but you may choose your own pace.

  As the title states, this study is about the "Armor of God" taken from Ephesians 6:10-19 from the Bible.  Priscilla teaches about the pieces of the "Armor of God" every week, but gives attention on the first week to the enemy of a Christ follower's soul; Satan.  Priscilla walks her participants through a very strategic plan to defeat Satan through the power of Jesus by using specific prayer strategies, based on Scripture.  Priscilla shows how we can put on each piece of the "Armor of God".

  Included in Priscilla's study are sections titled, "Digging Deeper" (where we can dig a little deeper :) and a section on "Prayer Strategies" where she gives her readers a specific way to pray.  In the back of the book,  Priscilla added some tear out cards that can be personalized by individuals with their own prayer strategies This study is so well constructed, and so packed full of information that will help you to go deeper with God through Prayer and the reading and understanding of His Word.

  I highly recommend this study for women, but I know that men would also benefit from this study as well.  Go and purchase it today, or find a group that is going through it and join in.  Thanks B&H/Lifeway Bloggers for this wonderful resource.
