A little boy sang in Sunday school, "I've got a home in glory land that outshines the sun...". The boy grew up to be a father, a husband, and a busy man with a career. Do the echoes of that Sunday school song still reverberate in his life? Do they still have meaning, now that he's an adult? Meet Lyn Cryderman. And go back in time with him to that long ago Sunday when millions of children were being taught "Jesus loves me, this I know...". This warm, funny, and encouraging memoir looks fondly and humorously at the lessons we learned in Sunday school so long ago. And it asks what those lessons mean to us today. Does "Trust and Obey" still work when our teenagers openly question the faith that we desperately want to pass on to them? Did the chalk artists and magicians and college quartets and visiting missionaries give us enough spiritual grit to weather the storms of adulthood at the end of the millennium? Glory Land reminds the reader that the teachings of the faith are timeless and that we must hold fast to the basic, universal truths we were introduced to in the churches of our childhood. This wise, wonderful, and witty memoir reminds us that God's truth can always be trusted, no matter how times change.
