In The Lightlings, Dr. R. C. Sproul weaves an allegorical tale that captures the essence of the biblical story of redemption. A race of tiny beings known as lightlings represent humanity as they pass through all the stages of the biblical dramacreation, fall, and redemption. In the end, children will understand why some people fear light more than darkness, but why they need never fear darkness again. Richly detailed illustrations by Justin Gerard will hold childrens interest, and discussion questions and Scripture references in the back will help parents guide children into the deeper meaning of the story.
