$15.99$19.00

Dr. R.C. Sproul weaves an allegorical tale that captures the essence of the biblical story of redemption in a manner that will fascinate and delight children. A race of tiny beings known as “lightlings” are a picture of humanity, as they pass through all the stages of the biblical drama – creation, fall, and redemption. In the end, children will understand why they need never fear the darkness, and also, strangely, why some people fear light more than they fear darkness!

The Lightlings is an excellent introduction to the key themes of Scripture about the holiness of God and the damage sin does. Richly detailed illustrations by Justin Gerard will grip your child’s interest, and discussion questions with Scripture references in the back of the book help parents guide children into the deeper meaning of the story.
