Key Features of This Armor of God Pamphlet
Historically Accurate Roman Armor Depicted
Having a correct picture in mind is important to accurately teaching and understanding this portion of Scripture. While many other illustrations of The Armor of God show armor from the Middle Ages, or other time periods, the Rose illustration presents historically accurate Roman armor. In a side-by-side fold-out format, The Armor of God pamphlet describes each piece of armor, its historical background, and its application to our spiritual battles today.
The Apostle Paul knew how important it was for believers to understand the provision of spiritual armor that God made for them. Paul's teaching to the Church at Ephesus was born out of firsthand knowledge of Roman Centurions armor. He saw them up close on many occasions.

Angels hold a special place in the lives of children, offering them a tangible connection to God's love, protection, and guidance. Teaching children about angels introduces them to the beauty of God's divine creation and reminds them that they are never alone. This understanding fosters a sense of security, especially during moments of fear, uncertainty, or doubt.
Guardian angels, in particular, play a significant role in helping children grasp the concept of God's constant care. The belief in a personal guardian angel reassures children that someone is always watching over them, guiding their actions, and protecting them from harm. This can be a source of comfort during difficult times, such as nighttime fears or challenging experiences.
Angels also serve as role models for children, embodying virtues such as obedience, humility, and unwavering devotion to God. Through stories of angels in Scripture, children learn important lessons about faithfulness, courage, and the importance of following God's will.
In addition, angels inspire children to develop a sense of wonder about the unseen world and the mysteries of faith. By fostering a relationship with their guardian angel through prayer, children grow in trust, gratitude, and an awareness of God's presence in their daily lives, enriching their spiritual journey. Among the activities that children will enjoy are these:
Simple rhymes and informative morsels will teach children about the wonder and joy surrounding Angels.

Donkey That No One Could Ride
"... You will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden."
Bestselling author Anthony DeStefano begins his creative telling of the beloved Bible story of Christ's triumphant entry by introducing the young donkey who has yet to realize his important mission. The lowly creature believes he can do nothing noble, but that's before he meets the Master...
Then Jesus said to the donkey,
"It's time that you knew
About the great thing
That you're destined to do..."
He hears the sad donkey cry,
"Just leave me alone and cast me aside.
I'm just a poor donkey that no one can ride."
Richard Cowdrey's colorful illustrations pair beautifully with Anthony's charming rhymes. Together, they bring this timeless story of the donkey who carries Jesus into Jerusalem to a joyful finish. While especially appropriate as an Easter gift, this year-round story is for all time and for young and old alike.
