Toy Soldiers

Toy Soldiers by J. Shea Hughes is a powerful and deeply personal journey of healing, identity, and redemption. Drawing from his own story of growing up with the wounds of fatherlessness, Hughes weaves together biblical truth, heartfelt testimony, and the life of David to reveal how God restores what has been broken and calls His children into their true purpose. Through themes of abandonment, validation, obedience, and the Father’s unwavering love, Toy Soldiers reminds readers that they are not forgotten, discarded, or defined by their past. No matter the wounds you’ve carried or the battles you’ve faced, God is still shaping you into everything He created you to be.

Written for those who have wrestled with rejection, struggled to find their identity, experienced the pain of an absent parent, or longed for a deeper understanding of God’s love, Toy Soldiers offers hope, healing, and encouragement. Pastors, ministry leaders, parents, and believers at every stage of life will find practical wisdom and spiritual insight that point them toward the heart of the Heavenly Father. This inspiring and hope-filled book will challenge readers to move beyond their past, embrace God’s purpose, and discover that they are far more than a copy of the real thing—they are sons and daughters of God, uniquely created and called for His glory.
