For the King!
Such is the battle cry of the royal army as soldiers in
the service of the King of kings and Lord of lords set out to wage war
against the forces of evil.
Lanus, a new recruit, finds he has much to
learn - about obedience, about failure, about victory. And about the
vital importance of putting on the full armor of the King.
In this
fascinating tale of spiritual warfare, the story of Lanus vividly
illustrates the Christian's conflict with Satan. Come along as a new
convert trains for conquest by skillfully wielding the ultimate weapon
of righteousness, the Sword of the Word of God...
The hero of
the tale, Lanus, is a new recruit in the royal army of the King of
kings, and he learns the importance of obedience, preparation, and the
full armor of the King in daily battle. The story is allegorical -
though not as "obtuse" as John Bunyan's or C.S. Lewis' works can be, at
times - so it is a great way to introduce allegorical writings to your
family. It is written at approximately a fifth or sixth grade reading
level, but the story line is captivating for any age (four years old
and up). You'll be elated to see how quickly even your young ones
comprehend what the battles, armory, castle, swords, and such represent
in our Christian walk. It makes a great read-aloud addition to
devotions, or a bedtime chapter book; however, you'll have a hard time
reading only one chapter at a time!
