From the author and illustrator team of The Creator in You comes a fresh and compelling picture book about what God’s heavenly kingdom will be like—and the place in it that he’s saving just for you.

Jesus said He won’t stay in the clouds way up there.
He’ll bring heaven to earth, and He’ll live with us here.

Scripture teaches Christians that we should look forward with hope and joy to the day when God will make all things new—so why do many feel boredom or even dread when picturing God’s heavenly kingdom? Bestselling author Jordan Raynor follows up his successful picture book The Creator in You with an exciting, hope-filled look at what the Bible really tells us about heaven and the New Earth. Far from being the end of our story, it’s just the beginning of a new life filled with all the things we love about the earth—animals, music, adventure, and meaningful work—but without any of the things that make this world sad and broken.

Based on Scripture and told with engaging rhyme and epic illustrations, The Royal in You is sure to become a go-to resource and beloved readaloud for families of faith.
“Oh, oh, I wanted to linger on every page, dreaming about the joy and vistas, the thrilling adventures and happy music that heaven holds for us. And the best part? We will forever be with our King! I highly recommend this enthralling little book.”—Joni Eareckson Tada, founder and CEO of Joni and Friends

“I can’t think of a better way to help our kids understand God!”—Candace Cameron Bure, actress, producer, and New York Times bestselling author

It’s not often I read a book that deals with Heaven and the New Earth when I feel like the author really gets it. Jordan Raynor has done his homework and really gets it. I’m happy to recommend The Royal in You.”—Randy Alcorn, New York Times bestselling author of Heaven

“If you’re a parent trying to point your kids closer to Jesus, you need this book in your library.”Jerrad Lopes, founder of Dad Tired

“‘What’s Heaven like?’ is a question many parents struggle to know how to answer. Jordan Raynor’s book, The Royal in You, is a wonderful way for parents to share with their kids a biblical understanding of the New Heaven and New Earth.”—Melissa Kruger, author and VP of discipleship programming at The Gospel Coalition

The Royal in You is a beautiful explanation of what all believers have to look forward to in Heaven and gives parents language for describing what can sometimes feel like an abstract concept.”—Laura Wifler, bestselling author of multiple children’s books, including Any Time, Any Place, Any Prayer and Like Me

“Forever can be a scary idea for kids. Jordan Raynor masterfully simplifies deep theological truths to grow hope and eager excitement in kids and parents alike for the kingdom of God. Warning: your kids are going to ask you to read this one again and again!”—Jonathan Pokluda, pastor of Harris Creek, host of the Becoming Something podcast, and bestselling author

“Raynor’s meaningful words cultivate clarity and faith at every turn of the page. This book is a gift of hope and anticipation!”—Lara Casey Isaacson, author and entrepreneur
 
The Royal in You sparks the Christian imagination for young and old in the right ways. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to parents, churches, and all faith leaders.”—Dr. Darrell Cosden, author of The Heavenly Good of Earthly Work

The Royal in You is a profound and exciting look at the New Heaven and the New Earth for kids (and even adults). Setting a vision for the future that we can put our hope in gives us a deep appreciation for what we are building toward and how God's glory will be manifested someday.”—Lauren Gill, Senior Director of the Global Faith & Work Initiative at Redeemer City to City

“I’m grateful for The Royal in You for providing a bedtime conversation that can awaken the imagination of kids—and offer us adults a glimpse of Heaven that invigorates how we build and create here and now!”—Mike Sharrow, CEO of C12 Business Forums

“We’re in a defining moment when the next generation is getting a clear picture of how faith can be an exciting adventure. Raynor’s doing that in such an important way, and I’m excited about how his books help kids dream big ideas of making a difference.”—Justin Forman, Executive Director of Faith Driven Entrepreneur

“Raynor’s The Creator in You picture book was a masterpiece that I shared with marketplace leaders (and their children) everywhere.”—David Roth, founder of Workmatters
