The Lightlings

In The Lightlings, Dr. R.C. Sproul brings the story of redemption to life through an allegorical tale that follows a race of tiny beings called Lightlings. Representing humanity, the Lightlings journey through the stages of creation, the fall, and God’s plan of redemption, helping children understand why some fear light more than darkness—and why we need never fear darkness again.

Richly detailed illustrations by Justin Gerard captivate young readers, while discussion questions and Scripture references at the back give parents and caregivers the tools to guide meaningful conversations about faith, hope, and God’s love.
