Today's boys are fascinated by pirates. Best-selling author Sheri Rose Shepherd uses this to great advantage in His Mighty Warrior, a new sort of devotional, filled with 128 pages of "letters from God."Boys will first be enticed by the 18th century-style map at the front and back of this book, and the imagination-inspiring illustrations of sailors on islands and tall ships by Lisa Marie Browning. Then they'll discover down-to-earth, kid-friendly "letters from God" on each two-page spread, accompanied by a related Bible verse and a simple prayer. For example, here's the first letter in the book:"My Son,I have chosen you to do something great for my kingdom. You are not just a boy - you are a child of the King and I am your Father in heaven. I want you to know that I am the same God who chose King David when he was just a little boy, and I have chosen you to show the world who I am. I will give you all you will ever need to conquer and accomplish the mission I have for you. Never forget who you are or who I am, and you will become a strong and mighty warrior for me.Love,Your King and Father in heaven"Deut. 7:6 is then quoted, and a four sentence prayer follows.Topics in this book include God's purpose for our lives, the importance of prayer, developing character, the power of promises, courage, being tender, the power of words, respecting rules, being your best, fighting the good fight, honoring others, dealing nobly with money, dealing with disappointment and anger, telling the truth, being a server, bragging and boasting, dealing with fear, failure, loving your enemies, giving revenge to the Lord, obeying parents, "when bad things happen," "death is not the end," and much more.
Before I even opened this book I was pleased. The front cover is slightly puffy. I know that's silly to note, but it just gives an extra something special to the book. The cover art is of a boy on an adventure...what young boy wouldn't be intrigued by that! The first thing I noticed upon opening the book is that the beautiful artwork from the cover continues inside. Each page is really a picture in itself with the words set on top.This book is not a story, but more of a devotional for boys. Each page that you open to features a (fictional) letter from God to your boy, a Bible verse, and a prayer for your boy to pray in response to the letter and verse. It reads like the final words of instruction and encouragement a father would give to a son who is going off on a journey. Each letter encourages or instructs your boy in a way that he should act (be courageous, be a protector, obey the rules, etc.) and is doctrinally strong on points like God's sovereignty and our utter dependence on Him. The content is not dumbed-down, but is still appealing to young, imaginative minds. Here is an example from one of the `letters'... "You will be surrounded by boys and girls who do not want to follow the rules. I do not want you to be like them. I want you to be a leader, not a follower. A true leader will be strong and do the right thing."The prayers are fantastic responses to the letters. Each one is honest, often with a confession of wrong behavior and a plea to God for help in doing the right thing. Here is an example of one of the prayers... "Dear God, I want an awesome attitude. Please help me have a grateful heart no matter what happens. I want to be a hero for you and help others do the same by my example.
