Ancient treasure lies buried in the basement of an abandoned church. And never--not in his wildest dreams--could Elijah Creek have imagined that an innocent peek into that old church would change his life forever. But it will.... When the treasure mysteriously disappears, the adventure to find all six pieces of the ancient armor begins for Elijah and his friends--Robbie, Reece, Mei, and Skid. Throughout their quest, friendship is tested, faith examined, and choices determine each individual's path. Every turn in the journey highlights the inexpressible power behind the true armor of God and the commitment, knowledge, and faith needed to use the armor as a weapon in life's battles--both seen and unseen. As discord and difficulties emerge, Elijah and his friends realize that this ancient treasure is more than they thought it would be--and someone who wants it lost forever is battling against them. Their discoveries test their friendship nearly beyond its limits, until Elijah withdraws to a place of mystery and later confronts the old man who knows the secret of the treasure. Together Elijah and his friends begin to sense that God has plans for them beyond anything they have ever dreamed. Recommended for ages 8 to 12. |
