By R.C. Sproul-PCA. The Prince's Poison Cup continues Dr. R. C. Sproul's series of books designed to present deep biblical truths to children on their own level. In this work, he focuses on the atonement to show that Jesus had to endure the curse of sin in order to redeem His people from their spiritual death. When Ella gets sick and has to take yucky medicine, she wonders why something that will help her get well has to taste so bad. She puts the question to Grandpa and he tells her the story of a great King and His subjects who enjoyed wonderful fellowship until the people rebelled against the King and drank from a forbidden fountain. To their horror, they found that the beautiful water in the well made their hearts turn to stone. To redeem His people, the King asks His Son, the Prince, to drink from a well of horrid poison. The poison will surely kill the Prince but He is willing to drink it to please His Father and save His people. Richly illustrated, The Prince's Poison Cup will help children appreciate the great love of God for His people and the awful price Jesus had to pay because of sin. A "For Parents" section provides assistance in unfolding the biblical parallels of the story.
