Erasmus Joseph Lion

Erasmus Joseph Lion, the proud and powerful king of the savanna, has everything—a vast pride, unchallenged dominion, and the freedom to hunt at will. Yet an emptiness lingers within him. In a moment of reflection, he makes a life-altering decision: he will never kill or consume another animal again. But how can a mighty lion, bound by the brutal law of survival of the fittest, endure without his natural instincts and need for nourishment? As he embarks on a spiritual journey in search of a more compassionate and fulfilling existence, he faces trials of danger, heartbreak, and moments of doubt—along with humor and spiritual wisdom.

Along the way, Erasmus meets other animals with very colorful personalities, each on their own quest for inner peace. Together, they explore spiritual truths that challenge the harsh realities of their world. But can animals, like humans, evolve beyond their nature to become more loving and forgiving? As Erasmus confronts his greatest challenges, we, too, are invited to reflect on our own struggles with inner peace. In a world of great external progress, why do we continue to destroy one another and ourselves? What if there is another way? Join Erasmus as he finds the way on his transformative journey—one that leads through darkness into the light of the heavenly realm.
