Combat Veteran Launches Shield of Light Publishing: Revolutionizing Faith-Based Children's Literature

Shield of Light Publishing, LLC, a veteran-founded company, introduces a new approach to children's faith-based literature, aiming to make biblical stories engaging and accessible.

-- Redefining Children's Faith-Based Literature

Shield of Light Publishing, LLC, founded in 2025 by cybersecurity expert and U.S. Army disabled combat veteran Dr. Jeffrey Nickle, writing under the pseudonym “Dr. Dime”, is set to transform the landscape of children's faith-based literature. After sustaining injuries during combat operations in 2017, Dr. Nickle endured nearly a year of surgeries and hospital stays, yet his faith remained unshaken.  Driven by a desire to make a lasting impact on future generations, he established the Shield of Light Publishing to inspire and educate young readers through captivating  narratives that emphasize faith, integrity, and the power of biblical stories.

Mission and Vision

The mission of Shield of Light Publishing is to bring biblical stories to life for children and families in an engaging, educational, and spiritually enriching manner. The company focuses on storytelling that is accessible, rhythmic, and visually captivating, ensuring that young readers connect with faith-based lessons meaningfully. The vision extends beyond books to digital content, interactive learning materials, and community-driven initiatives that support Christian education and family faith-building.

Innovative Storytelling Approach

Shield of Light Publishing distinguishes itself through a unique storytelling approach:

  • Engaging Rhyming Structure: Utilizing a structured rhyme scheme, the narratives are crafted to be memorable and enjoyable for children.

  • Dynamic Dual-Scene Illustrations: The books feature before-and-after scenes, making biblical events more engaging and easier to understand.

  • Whimsical Characters – The Littles: These characters add an interactive element, guiding children through the biblical world with curiosity and emotion.

Veteran-Led, Mission-Driven

Founded by a disabled combat veteran, Shield of Light Publishing embodies values of discipline, integrity, and purpose. This background influences the company's commitment to producing biblically accurate and impactful literature.

Upcoming Projects

The debut book, The Littles of Zion: The Big Beginning, introduces young readers (ages 2-8) to foundational stories of Genesis in a fun, engaging, and biblically sound way. The book follows a structured, rhyming format and features The Littles—tiny, whimsical characters who guide young readers through biblical moments while reacting with wonder and curiosity.

Future plans include expanding into additional biblical stories, devotionals for children, and faith-based activity books. There is also a vision to build an online platform that connects families with Christian resources, book clubs, and digital learning experiences to reinforce biblical teachings in everyday life.

Commitment to Quality and Community

Each publication undergoes meticulous editing, illustration planning, and theological review to ensure the highest quality. The company collaborates with talented illustrators and faith-driven writers who share the vision of making God’s Word accessible to children. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds supports faith-based initiatives, veteran advocacy programs, and local Christian organizations that share the mission of spreading the gospel.
