King of the Golden City was first published in 1921, as a response to a young child who asked Mother Mary Loyola what she must do to prepare for her First Holy Communion. Mother Loyola proceeded to write an enchanting allegorical tale about Dilecta, a poor maiden, who finds favor with the benevolent King of the Golden Kingdom. The king wishes the girl to enter the Golden City and dwell there with him and the Happy Ones, but first she must learn the laws and ways of the kingdom. Little Dilecta, eager to please the king, struggles between choosing the more arduous road to the Golden City and abiding happiness, or the alluring "Broad path" of Malignus, the evil lord, which is filled with fleeting, temporal pleasures. A prince of the court is assigned to the girl to guide and protect her from Malignus, the Triflers, and Self, who tempt her to make poor choices and distance herself from the great king. Finally, through perseverance and invaluable gifts from the king, the young heroine succeeds in living a life worthy of a place in the Golden City.
King of the Golden City is brought to life through a talented cast of voice actors, music and sound effects, and since the story is organized nicely into chapters, it's perfect for listening to in the car, enjoying a chapter at a time each night before bed and for family devotional time, too. It is a 2-disc set (Disc one--60 minutes, Disc 2--58 minutes).
