Customer Reviews:

“This story handled big and heavy topics with expert care. It spoke of sin and the choice to allow the enemy to take over, the judgment and wrath of God, the shame that comes with our rebellion, and the sacrifice of our Savior. Heavy topics for children, but necessary to encourage and equip them!”
--Bethany Searls

“I think this will be a really engaging way to get kids to understand our sinful nature- especially young boys! It brings that element of fantasy into play, while still instilling the truth of Scripture in its words. It shows how easily we can be turned from following God to following evil when we aren’t grounded in the truth.”
--Cassie Whitman

“As an adult, I find allegories to be one of the best teachers of biblical truths. I personally learn so much, and see so much more clearly the beauty of the Gospel through them. Mansoul was no different. The allegorical retelling of the metanarrative of Scripture was beautiful and moving and captured both my imagination and my mind.”
