Shepard’s Shield
Available to order · November 12–19, 2026
Ordering closes .
The Shepherd’s shield is not the absence of danger but the presence of the One who stands between the lamb and the wolves. In the quiet of the fold or the sudden violence of the wild, the Good Shepherd gathers the vulnerable close, his hands firm, his face set against the snarling threat that would scatter and devour. The wolves come with teeth bared and eyes fixed on what is small and soft; yet they meet not an equal prey but the One who has already laid down his life and taken it up again. That protective embrace is both tender and unyielding—cradling the lamb while facing the predators without flinching—because the Shepherd does not merely comfort the weak; he confronts what would destroy them. In that stance the ancient promise is made visible: no one snatches the sheep from his hand, for the shield is not a barrier of metal but the living strength of the One who calls each by name and keeps them to the end.

A World Without Christ
A World Without Christ asks what remains when compassion, sacrifice, and moral responsibility lose their place in human life. As the first entry in the supplied numbered list, it establishes the series’ central concern: faith must shape how people treat one another. The title challenges collectors to consider what a society loses when it forgets that obligation.

Archangel Michael
Archangel Michael brings the defense of faith into the collection. In Christian symbolism, Michael represents resistance to evil and service to divine authority. For this page, the design is presented as a reflection on courage directed by conscience—the strength to stand for what is right without making personal power the object of devotion.

Christ Defeats Satan V1
Christ Defeats Satan V1 centers on the refusal to accept falsehood as truth. The release text describes victory through the simple declaration that enough is enough. Its meaning is moral clarity: the moment when a person stops lending belief, attention, or obedience to what they recognize as wrong.

Christ Illuminated
Christ Illuminated invites reflection on faith as a source of light. Its place in the series can be understood through the relationship between seeing clearly and living deliberately: illumination carries a responsibility to act on what has been revealed. This is proposed interpretive copy; the catalog provides no original explanation for this release.

Christ is Coming
Christ Is Coming brings anticipation and readiness into the collection. The title looks toward the promised return of Christ, while asking what that expectation means for life now. Its devotional theme is steadfastness: continuing to live with conviction, hope, and responsibility rather than treating faith as something reserved for a distant future.
2024
Christ is King
Christ Is King is a declaration of where ultimate authority belongs. The original write-up emphasizes carrying Christ within and allowing His teachings to shape daily life through grace, courage, and joy. The design’s meaning is lived allegiance: faith expressed through character and conduct, rather than a title spoken without consequence.

Crucifixion of Satanism
Crucifixion of Satanism names a confrontation between faith and evil. Within the series, the title can be read as a call to reject the beliefs and actions that corrupt the spirit.

Enlightened Christ
Enlightened Christ invites collectors to consider understanding as a spiritual responsibility. Faith becomes a way of examining the self, recognizing what needs to change, and bringing conduct into alignment with conviction. The catalog also uses Christ Enlightenment for matching imagery; these names are grouped here while edition details remain distinct.

Immaculate Heart
Immaculate Heart centers on Mary’s love, purity, and sorrow.

2024
King Of Kings
King of Kings places Christ’s authority beyond earthly rank and power. As a devotional reading of the title, it asks where loyalty ultimately rests and what kind of leadership deserves trust.

Sacred Heart
Sacred Heart gives visible form to the love and sacrifice of Christ. The original explanation connects the heart, flames, thorns, and cross with devotion and redemption.

Son of the Sun
Son of the Sun brings a language of light into the collection. A devotional reading connects that light with renewal, understanding, and hope. The original design explanation is not present in the supplied catalog, so this proposed theme remains an interpretation rather than a claim about Chris’s intended symbolism.

Archangel Michael V2
Archangel Michael V2 revisits the defense-of-faith theme as a separately named version. In the Christian tradition, Michael’s struggle against evil directs courage toward service rather than self-glorification. The design offers a devotional reflection on steadfastness, while its V2 identity should remain distinct from the 2024 release.

Cleansing the Temple
Cleansing the Temple connects spiritual renewal with liberation from exploitation.

Eucharist

Immaculate Heart V2
Immaculate Heart V2 returns to Marian devotion in a separately identified edition.

Sacred Heart V2
Sacred Heart V2 revisits the love and sacrifice expressed in the earlier Sacred Heart design. As a devotional continuation, it invites renewed attention to mercy, compassion, and self-giving.

The Crown

The Return of Christ
The Return of Christ looks toward fulfillment: the hope that suffering and injustice will not have the final word. A devotional reading connects that expectation with the responsibility to remain faithful in the present.
