The Prince Warriors by Priscilla Shirer

Here’s the book summary:

The battle is real.

As brothers, Xavier and Evan are used to battling each other. But now they’re discovering that there is a much bigger battle going on all around them. And it’s their turn to fight. Based on Ephesians 6:10–18, The Prince Warriors is the first book in Priscilla Shirer’s epic new series that brings to life the invisible struggle ensuing in the spiritual realm. Xavier, Evan, and their friends have typical lives until they enter a mysterious land called Ahoratos. There they meet their guide, Ruwach, who offers wisdom and direction as the kids’ initial adventure begins—an adventure filled with armor and danger and a very real enemy.

And now, my review:

The battle is real and this book is a great encouragement to read about it.  The book draws you into the characters and situations that they face and it keeps you reading as they face things that are sometimes scary and sometimes funny.  This book is very imaginative, creative, and inspiring.  If you are looking for a great chapter book read on the Spiritual war around us and the need for putting on the Armor of God, I recommend this one.  We are looking forward to reading more in this series.

Choosing REAL by Bekah Jane Pogue

Here is the book summary:

Are you ready to release your control of needing to be everything for everyone? . . . The invitation is yours. In Choosing REAL, author Bekah Pogue walks with you into life’s unplanned circumstances--specifically frantic schedules, pain and transition, feelings of unworthiness, loneliness, and tension. . .  And she'll remind you that it is in these very moments that God invites you to notice, respond, and even celebrate how He shows up in every little detail.


And now, my review:

Choosing Real in life is a wonderful thing!  This book had great parts to it and I really liked her experiences that she shared.  She went into details of life happenings that framed how God is using her now.  Comforting others with the ways she has been comforted.  I thought she had great challenges and addressed things like living in a Facebook/Instagram world and remaining REAL.  Also, the importance of putting that away to embrace what God has placed right in front of you.  This is relatable material in the world that we live in.  And true!!  Life flies by and those things should NOT be number 1, or even have a high place in our days full of people and relationships in our mission for the Lord.

Like every book, every person has a opinion of what being real is.  I have an idea of REAL that at times is different than this author. I've seen her REAL before, but it's not all that REAL to me.  Check it out and see what you think.
