• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Raise your shield high in the next thrilling chapter of Timmy's Armor of God series! After lacing up the Sandals of the Gospel of Peace (Book 3) to run and share without slips like Philip, Timmy discovers even steady feet can't dodge the enemy's "fiery darts"-whispered fears, sneaky doubts, or distractions pulling us from prayer and God's Word. "I need something to block those!" he thinks. Enter Ephesians 6:16's Shield of Faith: A massive Roman scutum, big as a door, soaked to quench every flaming arrow, built on trust in the Unfailing One-Jesus Himself, our ultimate Protector (Proverbs 30:5: "He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him").

One cozy weekend, Timmy and little sister Ginny craft a twinkly-lit fort from sheets, chairs, pillows, and blankets-a "shield fort" glowing with Christmas lights. As they snuggle in, Ginny's nightmare strikes: A roaring monster chases her, hissing, "You're alone!" But in her dream, Jesus appears-a gentle Friend with open arms-teaching her faith's five Hebrew "layers" like fort-building blocks: Aman (lean on Him, Genesis 15:6), batach (slam fears down, Psalm 62:8), chasah (flee to refuge, Psalm 91:2), yachal (heal hurts, Psalm 31:24), and qavah (weave unbreakable, Isaiah 40:31). With verses like Psalm 27:1 ("The Lord is my light... whom shall I fear?") and Psalm 56:3 ("Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You"), Jesus mends her ache: Faith isn't wishful thinking-it's rock-solid trust in the One who never forsakes (Hebrews 13:5), turning fear's sting to strength.

Waking calm, Ginny rouses Timmy, sharing her dream. Inspired, he recounts Daniel 3's fiery furnace: Proud King Nebuchadnezzar demands all bow to a golden idol amid blaring music-everyone does, but faithful friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stand firm. Officials tattle; the king rages, offering a sly chance: "Bow or burn-save your lives!" (Satan's dart: Distraction from God!). Unshaken, they declare: "Our God can save us... but even if not, we trust Him alone" (Daniel 3:17-18). Tossed into flames seven times hotter (guards perish without faith-shields!), they stroll unharmed-with a fourth figure, Jesus, glowing as their Shield! Walls of fire become cool walks; the king marvels: "Blessed be the God who quenches flames!" (Daniel 3:28).High-fives and fort romps ensue-Ginny's "no more monster!" Timmy's high-fives with Dad affirm: Faith quenches every dart because it's Jesus, not us (Romans 4:3, Abraham's trust credited righteousness).

For kids 7-12, this 1,945-word tale sparkles with dream glows, furnace roars, and sister-brother bonds, unpacking faith as layered trust in the Never-Failing Shield-eternal (Hebrews 11:1) and daily (Philippians 3:10). Perfect for family devotions, bedtime battles, or Sunday school. Includes devotional, 12 memory verses (Proverbs 30:5, Psalm 27:1, etc.), prompts, and teaser for the Helmet of Salvation (Book 5). Quench your darts-what's one fear you'll shield today?(Full-color illustrationt. Faith-fort fun for young warriors!)
