Introduction

This book, The Playground, is actually a children's story. When I saw there was a need to explain to my fourteen year old daughter, spiritual principles in the simplest of ways, I referred her to the elements found within a playground.

I thought it would be the easiest way for her to retain information if she drew an analogy from each element of play and it worked.

Here I use spiritual applications of the slide, a swing, a see saw, some monkey bars, a sandbox, a roundabout, a barrel, and finally a balance beam to illustrate metaphysically spiritual terms in the simplest of manners.

Realizing myself how effective this is as a teaching tool, on how we relate to God, I also wanted to share this with my readers.

Socialization, parental guidance, and leadership are some more of the topics addressed, along with more wonderfully crafted poems to strengthen one's faith.
