“To paraphrase a famous Christian hymn: in history Kingdoms rise and wane but God’s Kingdom, with Jesus Christ as its King, shall remain. Author Randy Crane cleverly draws upon ideas in Disney’s Magic Kingdom to illustrate and underscore historic Christian truths and principles. Crane knows both Kingdoms well and shows how Disney’s magic is sometimes a useful metaphor for understanding God’s historic and eternal Kingdom.”

“Disneyland is one of the most exciting places on the planet. In fact, it IS the “Happiest Place on Earth!” Millions of people visit annually, many making return trips throughout the year. But few SEE the Park as Randy Crane does. In Randy’s first book, Once Upon YOUR Time, Randy helped us to take control of one our most precious commodities—our time—by giving us key strategies through a unique tour of Disneyland. In Faith and the Magic Kingdom, Randy once again takes us on an inspiring and dynamic tour of the Happiest Place on Earth in a way only he could—by showing us that valuable lessons of faith, and “magical” examples of God’s wonders CAN be found at Disneyland. By backing up biblical scripture with real-life examples that you CAN see while visiting the Resort, Faith and the Magic Kingdom is the perfect companion book to your next Disneyland Resort vacation. It will open your eyes to the wonders God has to offer in a way you never thought possible!”

“Many people view a trip to Disneyland as a way to escape reality for awhile and enter a world of fantasy. But in Faith and the Magic Kingdom, Randy Crane flips that notion on its head. He uses a place that is known and loved for its escapism to teach and explain Christian doctrine, turning the Happiest Place on Earth into the ultimate picture illustration of Bible truths.”

“Having grown up in Southern California, Disneyland has been a part of my existence: childhood memories, dates with my bride to be, annual passes with my children. I thought I knew a lot about Disneyland until I read Randy’s book. Faith and the Magic Kingdom provides plenty of Disney secrets I never knew (and those are fun!), but more so, this book challenges you to think beyond the pixie dust and 'hidden Mickeys' to the real purpose of life. Randy Crane takes you on a tour of 'The Happiest Place on Earth,' then brings insight to make you think about the things that bring true happiness.”

“I grew up playing in Disney World as if it were my backyard and performed in both Disney World and Disneyland. Now I view these oh so familiar places in such a differently enriching way since reading this book! Even though Faith and the Magic Kingdom is about Disneyland, I can see a lot of it in Disney World, too. I will never step inside again without being reminded of God’s purposeful details in my own life, as well as the big picture!”
