Two Doors - Making Good Choices by Tim Cole

On their tenth birthday, Markus and Junias are presented with two gifts by their father, the King - swords to learn to use, and keys to learn not to use. Each following year the boys are given additional instructions about their swords, their keys, and about two mysterious doors in the castle wall. Little do they realize how their choices today will determine the course of their lives. This beautifully illustrated book teaches children the importance of making wise decisions, the need to choose life-long blessing over immediate gratification, and the value of purity in relationships. A surprising twist to the conclusion of the story also introduces children to the hope of a new beginning through God's forgiveness. Each chapter ends with related Bible verses and discussion questions to help adults initiate thoughtful conversations with children and to apply the lessons of the story to life.
