Elijah Creek and the Armor of God #3

The quest to recover all pieces of an ancient suit of armor has already changed Elijah Creek and his friends forever. Now they must learn discernment in order to protect themselves from danger and find the next piece of armor.

Rumors surrounding the mysterious deaths of Mr. Dowland's daughter and grandchild have made Elijah's life miserable, but life in Magdeline is quiet again after Mr. Dowland himself turns up dead. Then the calm explodes as disaster hits and tragedy strikes close to Robbie's heart.

Elijah and the clan pull together to surround Robbie and help him through this agonizing time. Will the adversity push Robbie to discover who he really is? Has someone he can't see been guiding him all along?

3 years ago I read this series to my class and now, two students get to hear it again, and they both vividly remembered and were excited for the “war games” that the trio of boys would engage in. My class laughed out loud as I read the lines of text that made it sound like a Gullah accent/language.

I personally love the eight lessons in this book and since reading the series when I was ten, they have stuck out to me and been applied to a variety of areas and scenarios in my own life.

2025-26 read aloud: this time what stood out was the breastplate and how there were so many symbolic things on it connecting to Jesus that my students asked about and were interested in identifying what it actually looked like. A breastplate isn’t like a belt in knowing what it looks like and what its job is.

I am really enjoying this series. Yes, it's Christian, but it's not hokey! This is the third book. In this book, Robbie's parents annouce that they're splitting up and Robbie goes into a deep depression. Skid, his dad, Elijah and Robbie take a vacation at the beach where Robbie learns to face his fears and stand up to his parents with his friends there to back him up.

My dad read this series first and loved it (he is almost 50). I really loved this series. I would read a chapter or two to my sisters before bed (4 girls, ages 5-12) and they loved the series so much that they want me to read it to them again. It is griping, with a strong Christian foundation. We met the author at the International Conference on Missions (ICOM) last year, she was very nice.
