Perfect Bedtime Devotional for Little Boys

I am familiar with Sheri Shepherd's "Princess" books for little girls, and "His Mighty Warrior" is equally as wonderful for little boys. This is a great bedtime devotional for little guys from birth through elementary school. Each excerpt is about 1 page long with a short prayer to encourage and help boys to grow up to be Godly men. Illustrations are awesome! HIGHEST RECOMMEDATIONS!

Wonderful way to connect and talk about God's Word

I bought this for my 9 year old son (and it's princess counterpart for my 4 year old daughter). I have found it to be a wonderful part to add to our bedtime routine that doesn't take long but imparts profound wisdom. The letters to the boys "from God" really speak to their identities as young men and gives a parent the opportunity to put to words the different personality traits we hope our children grow up with.

Sheri Rose Shepherd "His Mighty Warrior" Is Awesome

My son, who I struggle with to get him to read, couldn't put the book down. He kept saying "Mom, I'm on page 9!" "Now I'm on page 30" His eyes were full and he kept smiling. He knew it was God speaking to him telling him what his purpose in life is. That God needs and depends on him. Most importantly, that my son is not in it alone. That God is with him every step of the way. My son feels so loved from reading that book. Kids need to feel important by their parents but when they know God thinks their princes and princesses. Wow! Nothing can top that.

Thank you Sheri Rose!

Thank you Sheri Rose for this wonderful book. My 6 year old son thinks it is the best book ever. He is so excited to here God's message to him each day. In today's society it is great to have such a book to support our efforts to raise Godly children. Do not hesitate!! Buy this book!!

A Real Treasure

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. What I Like: This book is filled with loving, biblical advice, and the illustrations are ideal for adventure-loving boys. There is so much to learn here, and the presentation is terrific. What I Dislike: Nothing. Overall Rating: Excellent. Kristina Seleshanko, editor of Christian Children's Book Review ( ccbreview at blogspot dot com )
