Product Description

Twin brothers Arion and Argo are scared. They have spent most of their lives shipwrecked on the lonely, gray island of Terrene with their ship's captain, and now he is leaving and they cannot imagine life on Terrene without him. He is going to Bluestone, a place where the birds always sing and the grass is ever green. He tells them he is going to prepare a place for them in Bluestone. Then he will come back for them, and they will all go to Bluestone together.

Though Bluestone sounds like a wonderful place, the boys find it difficult to wait for the captain on Terrene. The island is so gray that it is hard for them to imagine the vibrant colors of Bluestone. Soon they grow tired of watching and waiting for their captain, and it is hard for them to remember his voice. Can they really believe that he will come back for them? To do so they must have faith--they must see with their hearts, not their eyes. Will the captain really come back for Arion and Argo like he promised? And will the boys be ready for his return?

Once again, master storyteller Max Lucado tackles a difficult topic for children and creates an allegory that makes God's truth easy for them to understand. Coming Home captures the struggle and hope as we wait for Jesus to return and take us to an incredibly beautiful place that we cannot imagine. Children will learn powerful lessons about faith, patience, and God's great love and mercy. Recommended for ages 4 to 10.

this looked like a fun book, but it too much allegory for a small boy and not enough story. Not my favorite. Not thiers either.

Great book. My 7 y/o son really enjoyed reading it. However, he was hoping there would be additional books w/the same characters. I was hoping it would be a bit longer. Still, it's a very well written and illustrated book.

We love the books and DVDs from Mr. Max Lucado and have a huge respect for his work and creativity. After reading this book however, we were disappointed. I realize that "eternal salvation" (once saved, always saved) is a popular (yet controversial) idea and many may not agree with what I write below.
However, to imply that we can just decide to live like the world and abandon the Christian walk to the point where our life has no resemblance to what God intended it to be, yet when the Day comes, He just wipes it all out and in the end it makes no difference how we lived, is simply not what the Bible teaches. Of course, we are imperfect and hypocrites, get smeared and lured away and need to be constantly cleaned and reminded Who we live for, but if we decide to ignore Him altogether, there is no solution. Here is where I think the book got it all wrong maybe not intentional, but at least in the way the story is presented.
