In The Lightlings, 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 some people fear light more than darkness, but why they need never fear darkness again.
The Lightlings is an excellent introduction to the key themes of Scripture. Richly detailed illustrations by Justin Gerard will hold children’s interest, and discussion questions with Scripture references in the back will help parents guide children into the deeper meaning of the story.
[4-9 years]
We've had this story for some time now, and our older children aged between 4-7 still thoroughly enjoy this being read to them. It starts with a boy who is scared of the dark, and questions his mother about why this is. When he asks his grandfather the following day, he doesn't get the answer he quite hoped for- some people are in fact scared of the light. Here his grandpa begins the story of the King of Light who made all things and made people to shine just like he does (the lightlings), and yet after a time they decided they didn't want to do things the way their King wanted (sin). So, they had to leave the garden and no longer be with the King of Light. In fact, they lived in darkness and were scared of the King, for fear he would punish them for their sins. But one day they saw a light far off in the distance, and some curious lightling children wanted to investigate. Who they found was the Son of the King of Light, who was to be called the Light of the World. "There would be no darkness strong enough to hide His light, no darkness deep enough to send His light away." They began to worship Him (representing Christ). The story concludes with grandpa explaining what it will be like to be with Christ one day, and why we need not fear the light or the darkness. All who come to Him will never be in darkness again. The end 3 pages of this book contains 13 questions with scriptural references for parents to delve into the deeper meaning of the story with older children (I'd say from around 7+, but of course dependent on your child).
This book contains large, easy to read font, beautiful engaging illustrations, and good quality paper and hardcover book. It looks like it will last a long time! Highly recommend!
