Product Description for The Orchard Gate

What if the Kingdom of Heaven is not earned—but entered like a child?

Elias is a brilliant scribe, exiled for daring to question the religious order that raised him. When he hears whispers of an orchard where truth lives and the Maker still speaks, he sets out to find it—armed with scrolls, logic, and pride.

But the gate does not open for the learned. It opens for a barefoot child.

Unable to enter, Elias turns to find another way—only to meet a strange old man named George, who walks the orchard’s edge not as a guard, but as a guide. Through quiet parables and piercing questions, George dismantles everything Elias thought he knew about truth, holiness, and God Himself.

Inspired by George MacDonald’s sermon “The Child in the Midst,” this gentle yet soul-stirring parable invites listeners to lay down the burden of performance and rediscover the way of childlike trust.
