Are you ready to come home?
A place where no one is ever hungry, afraid, or alone. A golden land of beauty, laughter, and joy.
Could there really be such a place?
This is the question our protagonist, a little lamb, asks when a mysterious kindly Shepherd appears, promising eternal happiness in a world to come.
Yes, our home is indeed a paradise, and the Father has prepared a place for each of us.
As the lamb grapples with this joyous revelation, he learns to ignore the scoffing of worldly leaders, who boast of their own plans and claim that Heaven is a myth. The lamb believes the Shepherd and is determined to find the way to this wonderful place.
The way is simple. The Shepherd tells him: “I am the Way.” And the lamb eagerly follows Him. But while simple, the way is not easy. The lamb faces many obstacles on the path to happiness, including his own weakness and temptations. As his memory of the Good Shepherd fades, will he overcome the allure of the world to follow the true path once again?
With whimsical storytelling and colorful imagery, this picture book gently introduces children to the challenge all Christians face during their lives. Parents and children alike will ask whether they have the courage to follow Jesus when the path before them becomes steep and rocky.
Inspired by the parable of the Good Shepherd, who goes into the wilderness to rescue the sheep that strays, this tale of faith and forgiveness is sure to inspire greater love and devotion for the kindly Shepherd, who is always ready to find us and lead us home.
