Amazing!

We actually have the audio version of this series. We purchased them at a homeschool convention earlier this year. They are so well done. We love listening to them as a family. My 9 yr old son loves them so much he wanted to buy the first couple of books for a neighbor boy's birthday gift.

You Can't Go Wrong...

This is the best book in the series! Cuck Black is an awesome author-I liked the drama and captivating scenes...I never read so much or so fast. I plan on reading the next books too . I highly recommend these books to christian kids who want to learn more about the Sword!! Joseph

Excellent book series for boys

We are studying medieval times and this played right in to our studies. A great fictional work from a biblical standpoint. My 9 & 10 year old boys loved it.

A good read!

The second book in the Kingdom series does not disappoint the reader. It is as positive a work of fiction as the first, Kingdom's Dawn. Here again, I did not catch all of the symbolism that the author meant, reading the study questions at the end of the book. However, in no way does that detract from the book. Leinad is the leader of the Christian people and his faith in the King, our Lord, is very strong. It is obvious during the first half of the book he represents Moses. The bond between Tess and Leinad is growing stronger throughout the book. Leinad frees the slaves and they begin their journey to the promised land. As the book progresses, it becomes clearer that Leinad's sword represents the King's Word. The people face many hardships and challenges. Eventually they do reach Chessington. This is the land that the King promised would be good and they would be prosperous. Over the years there they lose faith and become doubters. Leinad tries his hardest to prevent this from happening and tries to convince them to keep their faith in the King but Lord Quinn's wife, Moradiah, is evil. She sways the people and convinces them not to follow the King's Code. The result is the downfall of Chessington and the people becoming enslaved once again. Leinad's faith is still strong. and he fights for the people to free them again. Tess and Audric help. Their faith becomes stronger and the King helps them in their fight to free the people a second time. At the end of the book we are introduced to the coming of the Prince--Jesus and the hope that this brings. Author Black has another winner here. The story just seems to flow and leaves the reader wanting more. I think this is a very good book for teens and maybe even children a little younger to read and learn from. Personally, I believe that the book would be a great instrument to be used in Sunday school classrooms. Armchair Interviews says: The author utilizes the fascination children have with knights to get some very important lessons across without being overbearing.
