It is starter to get cooler outside here in Wisconsin and that means I am beginning to really plan and figure out how we will enjoy the winter that is soon to come. It can e pretty brutal sometimes around here. I was so excited to see two new books in a favorite series of ours, The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls: The Shepherd’s Stone (Book 5), and The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls: The Lion’s Roar (Book 6) from WorthyKids Books. These are recommended for ages 6-9 (or grades 1-3) but these are books that every one of my children enjoy (and that isn’t an easy thing). Certainly these can be enjoyed by older and younger kids too!

We have been super blessed to be able to say that we have received every one of the books in this series in the past, but if you have not, this is one of those series in which each book can stand on its own. I know that can make a difference sometimes. My younger son is very reluctant to read any series of books but this is one that he is happy to dig into. In fact I often find him reading one of them on his own (in no particular order too).

The Shepherd’s Stone is the fifth book in the series, is a little over a hundred pages with black and white illustrations throughout. In this adventure Peter, Mary and their dog Hank are transported to Bethlehem where they meet a young shepherd. Did you guess that it was David?

One of our favorite figures in the Bible right now. What an exciting way to go back and experience the battle between David and Goliath – with an underlying message reminding us that the Lord is our shepherd and we have nothing to fear. Throughout the pages they experience adventure after adventure, they find clues leading them forward as they seek to solve the secret before they are found by the Soldier of Darkness.

At every turn there are reminders to trust God; to know that God is bigger than anything. What a fun way to explore the Word and increase your faith.

The Lion’s Roar, Book 6, was my boys favorite book thus far! Meet Daniel as we visit the city of Babylon and race chariots. They explore and adventure as they look for the words they need to solve the puzzle and get back home. In the process they must determine what is truth!

Outsmart a wicked high priest, beware of the lions but remember that through every challenge they face God is still in control. This is a story full of examples of courage and the value of the search for truth. What about prayer? What about song? See the power of these both within the pages of the story as we they fall into dangerous situations, as they struggle to find the answers they need in time.

At the end of each book, you don’t want to miss this, you can find details and locations within your Bible where you can go to read the complete story. There is also a short and simple explanation of each section of scripture listed.

I find this to be so encouraging – my younger son has even taken to using these references to find and read the stories within his own Bible. There is definitely nothing better than seeing our children enjoy stories that are wholesome and inspiring. When those stories lead them to God’s Word, it is even better!
