The Joyful Kingdom is about a kingdom that loves to worship the Lord through the people's love of dancing. However, the trials of life overwhelm their monarch, and she decides to outlaw every type of worship and dance. These new laws become a source of fear for the people, and unfortunately, they start drifting away from the Lord. Since God loves all His children, this greatly disturbs Him. Therefore, it is with great sadness that God sends afflictions to His people three times in the effort of calling His children into repentance. While these afflictions don't appear to be working, Isaiah 11:6 (ESV) reminds people that "a little child shall lead them."God's plan is always perfect. All people need to trust in Him more. This book is a reminder of this lesson, and therefore is filled with holy Scripture. Additionally, it is designed to increase the reader's vocabulary and provide space for children who love to draw and color. Every chapter ends with activities for this purpose. This book is the first book in the author's Kingdom series, so be on the lookout for more books to follow.
