The ability to communicate real, non-watered down, truths to children is a a more and more forsaken art these days. So many Christian children’s books these days simply tell kids to be nice or to share. Children need to hear the gospel as much as adults do and one of the best ways of communicating the truths of the Gospel to them is through stories and allegories. R.C. Sproul has written such a story. The Prince’s poison cup speaks about the cost of the cross for Jesus and our role in making that necessary.  I have posted the audio of the entire book here. It’s about 16 minutes long but I feel that it will be well worth the time spent. I’m working on some posts defending allegory and defending fiction and hope to have those out soon. For now, enjoy R.C. Sproul reading his book, “The Prince’s Poison Cup”
