He has to travel to 7 castles and learn some important lessons along the way. The travel is filled with dangers, temptations and trials. Through it all Josiah will learn more about King Emmanuel and become an even better servant to his King. | Extra Notes: | Just like the first in the series, this is an absolutely excellent allegory! Ed Dunlop took the verse from 2 Peter 1:5 (For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love) and turned it into a journey of lessons for Josiah. Each of the castles he has to journey to is under one of those names. And one the way to each castle he learns the lesson through encountering a trail which causes him to need that element. For example, he encounters someone who tells him things about King Emmanuel and His word that aren't true. He needs knowledge to refute the statements. He finds a village of Littlekins - or rather "Little Sins" where he learns that little things like envy or greed can destroy you just as much as something big. They pose as much of a threat to him as the giants do later on in the story. Ed Dunlop has done another great job presenting the Christian Life as an allegory! | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 5 |
