The Armor of God Series
Book 3: Tommy and the Good News Shoes
"This book gives kids some great ways to understand the armor of God (based on Ephesians 6)! In case you're not familiar, the armor of God is a biblical analogy to remind us that God protects and equips us for what we face in life. For this 3rd picture book in the series, the author focuses on this part of the passage: 'Stand firm then...with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.'
This sweet, playful book helps kids know what that means in their own lives by comparing the armor of God to the types of shoes they're familiar with. It shows how shoes like ballerina slippers and football cleats protect our feet and keep us ready for the task at hand. This is just like how the relying on the good news of Jesus keeps us ready for whatever may happen in life. I think young kids would find this shoe analogy very relatable and the situations in the story very engaging!
I also love the colorful, pleasing illustrations and the authentic, childlike interactions of the characters. Very fun read!"
