"The Kingdom Series" is an extraordinary collection of books that vibrantly relate the story of God and His Son's love for all humanity. Chuck Black is a gifted author who presents the marvelous Gospel in a compelling manner that appeals to both children and adults alike. I am 26, and even though these novels are purported to be for children, they still have the power to inspire me. Some readers of fantasy may want more complex stories, but Black's writing is simple enough that his message can be understood by all.In the third installment of the series, Cedric, a peasant in the city of Chesington in the Kingdom of Arrethtrae, is about to embark upon the most perelous journey imaginable. Arrethtrae is ruled by "The Noble Knights," leaders who have sworn to uphold "The King" and his "Code." However, "The Noble Knights" have been poisoned by their own lust for power, and thus Arrethtrae suffers from oppression and sorrow. Into the midst of this turmoil, a mysterious stranger, (a peasant in appearance but more than he seems), comes forth. The stranger claims to be "The Son of the King." He is an expert swordsman, and he offers freedom to Arrethtrae's people. Cedric is chosen to become a knight in the stranger's service along with other unlikely men. The men are trained in preparation for a battle against "The Dark Knight Lucius," and his followers. What results is a danger-filled quest where freedom must come at a terrible price.Chuck Black recreats the events of Jesus' life, and retells the story of the formation of the Church. He is particularly gifted at illustrating the truth of spiritual warfare. Once again, the audio addition of this book is narrated by Andrew Turley and Dawn Marshall. These British narrators infuse life into the excellent novel. You will be moved, and you will be inspired to proclaim Christ's love to others. Happy reading, and God bless.
