Josiah represents an ordinary person before salvation, enslaved to Argamor, who represents Satan. Josiah is trapped in the weight of guilt and the chains of iniquity. But as his punishment for trying to escape the dungeon of condemnation draws near, King Emanuel, in His coach of grace, pulls up and demands that Josiah be given to Him, as He has paid the price and bought Josiah's freedom. King Emmanuel adopts Josiah as His own and makes him a prince in his kingdom. He entrusts Josiah to Sir Faithful and Lord Watchful and leaves to prepare a place for Josiah in The Golden City of the Redeemed. Josiah learns to be faithful and follow King Emmanuel's instructions as written in the book, his sword. | Extra Notes: | This is an excellent allegory. It is written in very simple language and includes a guide at the end explaining the way of salvation. It is ideal for someone wanting a summary of the Gospel message. | Reviewer: | | Recommendation Scale: | 5 |
