Powerful allegory for children from master storyteller, Max Lucado

Twin brothers Arion and Argo have spent most of their lives shipwrecked on the lonely island of Terrene with their ship's captain, and now he is leaving. 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 there, then he will come back for them, and they will all go to Bluestone together.

Though Bluestone sounds wonderful, the boys find it difficult to wait for the captain. The island is so grey that it is hard for them to imagine the vibrant colours of Bluestone. 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?

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.
