The boy poses this question to his grandfather, who tells
the allegorical tale of the lightlings. The lightlings are little beings of
light who lived in paradise… until they disobeyed and lost their light. They
were stumbling in darkness and fear in the wilderness, until the son came to
them, shining a majestic light that reflected off the faces of all the
lightlings that were attracted to the light, instead of running from it.
The images are enchanting. This would be a wonderful jumping
off point to discuss the gospel with children… and I can especially see how
it’d be perfect for children who are struggling with a fear of the dark. I am a
big fan seeing God’s purpose and sovereignty in everyday things and this is a
great way to train children to seek that outlook. This book connects a common
fear to our universal need for God. That is a worthy thing indeed.
I would recommend this book.

Pam, your excellent review makes me want to read this book. I really like Sproul's writings and am currently reading one of his books called The God of Holiness. I am so glad he is writing children's books because there is a great need in children's literature for this kind of allegorical expression that points to the gospel. Love and blessings from J-ma
