Ephesians 6:10-18 (New International Version, ©2010)

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.

People who are disrespectful and have attitude problems are
everywhere, they might even be us! Sophia Rose Giggleheart is a
little girl with an enormous attitude problem. In this first book, eightyear-
old Sophia learns how the Bible can help her exchange her bad
attitude for God's amazing joy so her heart can truly giggle!
From Sophia's perspective, the things that upset her seem to be
triggered by "annoying people" like her younger brother Luke.
Through this adventure, her vision of her attitude changes from a
"teeny weeny attitude problem" to a heart and attitude filled with a
judgmental peacock, a prideful lion, and angry bear. Ouch! How the
truth hurts.
During this wacky first adventure, the lovable and goofy angel Frank
helps Sophia learn how the Bible instructs us through the lens of
God's wisdom about examining our own hearts. By the end of this
adventure, Sophia learns to humbly examine herself and take
responsibility for her attitude and actions%u2026something most of us
could stand to do as well, if we're honest about it.
Given the universal need to take responsibility for our actions
regardless of our chronological age, it is not surprising that A Heart
Ready to Fly! is attracting fans of all ages. Author Dr. Jackie Chirco
Cogswell reports, "One grandmother was reluctant to part with her
copy of the book when her granddaughter wanted to take it for
herself. Instead, the grandmother promised to buy her a second
copy."
Both the content and humor prevalent throughout this appealing story
told from the perspective of the eight-year-old Sophia make A Heart
Ready to Fly! an entertaining - and instructive - read for all ages.
A Heart Ready to Fly! is available at www.amazon.com,
