The Prince Warriors series has been one that my girls love. I haven’t had my daughters to beg me for a book then when the first book came out. They were fighting over who was going to read it first. When I was given the opportunity to review book 2 in The Prince Warriors series: The Prince Warriors and the Unseen Invasion, I knew I had to get it. Priscilla Shirer as outdone herself with these books, even though they are geared to boys, girls will enjoy them also. I love how these books are teaching our kids about God in a way they can understand. I absolutely am a huge fan of The Prince Warriors series and can’t wait to add the third book to my collection.
Along with book two, Priscilla has a devotional and a activity book to help them dive deeper into God’s word. If you are looking to purchase books for your children then I highly recommend getting The Price Warriors Series. You will not be disappointed and neither will your kids.
I received a copy however a favorable review was not required, All opinions expressed here are my own.
I was blown away by this book. Wonderful fantasy mixed with Godly themes that has you reaching for the next one almost immediately. We read it as a family, however, I would recommend this for kids 5th grade on up (4th grade advanced). My son, who is not a reader, begged for the first one and we devoured it as well. KUDOS!!!
Wow, the second book in the series and what a great adventure. Full of the characters from the first with more experiences with them. And some added additions to the mix. Seeing played out the importance of the armor and their job. There were great drawings that kept us reading and intrigued. And long after the book, I'm still pretty creeped by "Stella"... It makes me want to stay away from butterflies. (~Smiles) The Word says that the enemy can disguise himself as light... Creepy but we, as believers, have everything we need!!. Praise the Lord. You'll want to check out this series. A great read aloud that creates great discussion and imagination that keeps going beyond the book.

Priscilla Shirer and Gina Detwiler co-authored this fiction series for children ages 8-12 years old. Xavier and Evan are brothers and used to fighting each other. Now they discover the real battle is in the spiritual realm, and they have been called to fight it using the armor of God.
In The Prince Warriors and the Unseen Invasion, they face new weapons from the enemy, ones they never even imagined. They are given more armor to help them face the deadly Olethron. Have they learned their lessons
the final battle to stop him. Will their swords give them victory? Will they recognize the traitor in their midst?
Gina Detwiler and Priscilla Shirer, author of several best-selling adult non-fiction books, do an excellent job of capturing the voice of the children in this new series. They tackle the non-fiction topic of spiritual warfare through the use of fantasy fiction to reach their target audience.
"Your faith is your shield". "How can faith be a shield? That's impossible. Nothing is impossible." The enemy will do everything to stop you and many will try to take it from you.
The Prince Warriors are on another adventure. They join Ruwach in another realm, learning about doing battle of the spiritual kind. They come back to their world and use what they learn. In the spirit of the Chronicles of Narnia, the warriors are given seeds from Ruwach and warned to keep their seeds protected and to use them in time of trouble. Several of the warriors doubting the power of the seeds (the seeds represent faith), throw their seed in the pond and the other flushes his down the toilet. Another warrior Brianna takes a harmless friend from her adventures with the other warriors secretly and has the biggest battle of the mind. Something all readers can identify with.
Such great lessons using adventures to talk about faith. Because living out our faith is a adventure worth living out every day.

I purchased the first book, The Prince Warriors, for my oldest grandson. He loves sci-fi and I thought that this trilogy would be a perfect fit. I was right, he loved it. In fact he not only loved it but his younger brother and dad did as well. After reading it myself I am also of the opinion that girls will love it too.
The Prince Warriors and the Unseen Invasion is book two in the trilogy and we have all eagerly anticipated it. The story picks up where the first left off and still centers on the theme of Ephesians 6:10-18 (putting on the full armor of God). In the first book the enemy's schemes had been defeated and truth prevailed.
In this second book the enemy is furious and is coming back at our warriors with a vengeance. New creatures, weapons, and even characters are introduced. Never fear though, our warriors will receive more of the armor they need to ultimately defeat this enemy. I felt like this story was even more intense than the first. I'm pretty sure the next book will ratchet it up another notch. As with any good trilogy the tension just builds and builds. In this instance the tension is building but so is the warriors confidence, knowledge, and skills.
I cannot possibly recommend this series enough. It is designed specifically with middle-grade kids in mind. The humor and situations will appeal to them and the lessons that are presented are put forth in a way that will make sense to their growing minds. If you have an 8-12 year old you should definitely get this for them. The third and final book, The Prince Warriors and the Swords of Rhema, is set to be released on February 1st. I can promise you I'll be snatching it up for my grands.
