The story

There is a war you do not see. It is fought in headlines and on screens, in classrooms and homes, and in the arena of your own soul. Most people never know they are in it.

Tommy is about to see it. He wakes in an ancient forest just south of heaven and stumbles upon a wondrous place called the Playground, built long ago among the giant trees as a training ground for young souls. Join Tommy as he and a chosen group of children from around the world are taught by the King Himself and an old saint named Clarence.

Before his training ends, Tommy must learn to see himself and all of creation in a new light, learn to withstand the tactics of humanity's enemy, and be willing and able to defend and advance the Kingdom and its people.

Why I wrote it

I wrote this course for my own children. They were leaving homeschool for public school, and I wanted them to walk through those doors ready: knowing who they are, knowing their King, and prepared for the enemy's devices in our modern culture, some of which they would meet there for the first time. I wanted them to hear about those things from me first, in a safe, Christian way, so they wouldn't be blindsided. The enemy has no qualms about lying to children, so we must be doubly vigilant and prepared.

"Lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices." — 2 Corinthians 2:11 (NKJV)
