Good solid read for younger children
A young boy asks a very difficult question of a king - where do shadows come from? As the king explores the answer, he learns that shadows come from the existence of light and then he learns about a Great King who has no shadow since He Himself is the Light - this Great King is God Himself and this fun little story is a great and easy read for young elementary-aged students. I would think that this is a good book for parents to read with their children, though, since the concept of shadows and light is a little confusing and presents a very good opportunity for a conversation.

As I read this book, I thought of the quote by C.S. Lewis that applied, "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." This truth, that God is the center of the universe, the absolute truth, and the meaning and purpose of life, is the core of what Dr. Sproul is communicating to young readers with this book. It's great to see so many great children's books on the market today by some of the leading Christian authors and teachers of our day.

Another gem to be a classic
Dr. Sproul has done it a second time with this wonderful children's work. It will help the child in all of us renew the wonder and awe of a God beyond our imagination.

In this work, Dr. Sproul attempts to describe the indescribable in order to bring us face to face with the God we cannot see. The writing is superb. The illustrations are very well done. A great addition to children's literature bound to one day become a classic.

I thought it would be more of a bible story
I thought the book was good. My boys really liked it. However, I was thinking it would be a bible story but it was a story to illustrate a bible issue. It was correct in theology. I just wished it had gotten to the point a bit faster.
