Overview

From the author and illustrator team of The Creator in You comes a fresh and compelling picture book about what God’s heavenly kingdom will be like—and the place in it that he’s saving just for you. Jesus said He won’t stay in the clouds way up there. He’ll bring heaven to earth, and He’ll live with us here. Scripture teaches Christians that we should look forward with hope and joy to the day when God will make all things new—so why do many feel boredom or even dread when picturing God’s heavenly kingdom? Bestselling author Jordan Raynor follows up his successful picture book The Creator in You with an exciting, hope-filled look at what the Bible really tells us about heaven and the New Earth. Far from being the end of our story, it’s just the beginning of a new life filled with all the things we love about the earth—animals, music, adventure, and meaningful work—but without any of the things that make this world sad and broken. Based on Scripture and told with engaging rhyme and epic illustrations, The Royal in You is sure to become a go-to resource and beloved readaloud for families of faith.
