The Ring of Truth: A Children's Picture Book About Vanquishing Shame (The Christian Kids Values, Identity & Affirmation Series 1) Kindle Edition

by Aaron Ryan (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (18)

In a world filled with mythical beasts and battles, one young boy is on a quest to defeat his greatest enemy, Shame.


Far, far away, yet not too far so as to defy belief, there lies a fantastical world filled with dragons, wargs, and ogres. In this world, a young boy finds solace battling creatures. The boy is determined and brave, using his battles as a way to escape from his worst enemy, one of inner turmoil: Shame. Shame over what he did. Shame over who he was becoming. Shame over his very identity. So, since he couldn't defeat shame, the next best thing were the evil creatures that called him names. The names hurt, because they were true.

Finally, the boy realizes that the only way to truly defeat shame is with The Ring of Truth. Truth about who he really is. Truth about how he is forgiven. Truth about how loved he really is, regardless of what he may have done in the past.

===

Shame is a powerful enemy, and too many people, especially children, suffer from it. It is debilitating. This story was written from a Christian perspective to remind us of our true identity in Christ: forgiven, whole, and loved. If you have a loved one struggling with shame, please consider giving them a copy of this book, and reading this to your own children at bedtime. Shame can never vanquish The Truth.

Don't miss out on this thrilling adventure - "The Ring of Truth" is an epic children's picture book addressing one of the most powerful enemies of identity: shame. From the bestselling author of the "Dissonance" sci-fi alien invasion saga and the sci-fi 9/11 historical fiction thriller "Forecast," Aaron Ryan delivers a beautiful tale of affirmation and a reminder of our identity.

From the Author

This story stemmed from a bedtime tale I told my son in October of 2024.  It lulled him to sleep.  My heart was deeply moved at how powerful the story was, and how meaningful it was to both him and me.  I knew that I had to have it illustrated and made.  This is my first foray into writing a children's book, and I'm so thrilled with how it turned out. Thank you so much for your interest!

About the Author

Award-winning and bestselling author Aaron Ryan lives in Washington with his wife and two sons, along with Macy the dog, Winston the cat, and Merry & Pippin, the finches.
 
He is the author of the bestselling "Dissonance" saga, the sci-fi thriller "Forecast", the business reference business books "How to Successfully Self-Publish & Promote Your Self-Published Book" and "The Superhero Anomaly", several business books on voiceovers penned under his former stage name (Joshua Alexander), as well as a previous fictional novel, "The Omega Room."
 
When he was in second grade, he was tasked with writing a creative assignment: a fictional book.  And thus, "The Electric Boy" was born: a simple novella full of intrigue, fantasy, and 7-year-old wits that electrified Aaron's desire to write.  From that point forward, Aaron evolved into a creative soul that desired to create.
 
He enjoys the arts, media, music, performing, poetry, and being a daddy.  In his lifetime he has been an author, voiceover artist, wedding videographer, stage performer, musician, producer, rock/pop artist, executive assistant, service manager, paperboy, CSR, poet, tech support, worship leader, and more.  The diversity of his life experiences gives him a unique approach to business, life, ministry, faith, and entertainment.
 
Aaron's favorite author by far is J.R.R. Tolkien, but he also enjoys Suzanne Collins, James S.A. Corey, Michael Crichton, Marie Lu, Madeleine L'Engle, John Grisham, Tom Clancy, C.S. Lewis, Stephen King and Dave Barry.
 
Aaron has always had a passion for storytelling.

Excellent book for Christians
This is a cute picture book for young kids. It’s a spiritual allegory of Christianity. The “ring of truth” in the title is meant to be Jesus’s sacrifice for man’s sins. The “ring of truth” in the story vanquishes the main character’s shame. He feels shame when he “makes mistakes,” ie, sins. The same way, Jesus forgives all sins so that there’s no need for shame. This is a very good book to read to kids to explain this religious concept to them. I recommend this book to all Christian parents.

    As with all other Aaron Ryan books, I Beta-read this, and it's brilliant and beautiful. It's a HUGE shift from what he's written before, but he's a daddy, so I get it. Sounds like he told this story to his son at bedtime. Really sweet story. Warning: it's probably for Christians only, but the universal problem of shame extends its borders by a fair share, so there's that. A remarkable analogy and a great source of truth for helping children.

    4.0 out of 5 stars We all make mistakes - A tale of forgiveness
    Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    This is the story of a very brave, very human boy. The mistakes he makes, bring him feelings of shame. But, with the help of 'the man' (Jesus - although never mentioned by name), he learns the valuable lesson of forgiveness. The man teaches the boy the truth about how battles are won, and enemies are vanquished. It brings the gospel to light in a simple way that is easy for children to understand. I was immediately drawn in by the colorful illustrations. Engaging and encouraging; it's a story we can all relate to.

    Format: Kindle
    This is a cute book about God's unfailing love and forgiveness. It talks about a boy who is a warrior that fights orcs, dragons and other mystical beings. He does bad things sometimes like stealing and so he thinks badly of himself. He was given a ring by a mysterious man that will vanquish his bad thoughts and foes when he presses it. It reminds him of the forgiveness that was given to him by the sacrifice of Jesus' blood.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The book theme was Lord of the Rings but with Christian aspects
    Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    The book theme was Lord of the Rings but with Christian aspects. I loved the pieces of Bible verses in the book! The truth about the main character doing good and doing things that are sinful. It even mentioned the importance of forgiveness, also how the main character is given grace and forgiveness through the blood of the King. However, the book never mentions Jesus Christ name. It also replaces the power of prayer with the power of pressing a ring. I think this has great potential but I do wish there were more Bible verses, the power of prayer and mentioning Jesus name. I will say I like the adventure the main character went on.

    This book is interesting and uplifting to teens just trying to find their place in this world. This book helps them understand that just because you mess up doesn’t mean you’re bad or terrible. Learn from your mistakes and forgive yourself and others.
