“With sanctified imagination, Chuck Black transports readers back to the days of chivalry and valor, clashing steel, and noble conflict–but ultimately he transports readers to the eternal triumph of the King who reigns!”
     – Douglas Bond, author of HOLD FAST In a Broken World, and Guns of the Lion

“Chuck Black is a word crafter who is able to weave Kingdom principles into the fabric of one’s moral imagination. The characters he has created and the passions they exude, will motivate readers to follow their examples, which have now been etched into their awakened conscience.”
     – Mark Hamby, Founder and President of Cornerstone Family Ministries and Lamplighter Publishing

“My son, Nathan, loved the first book in this series and he said the second was even better. In my son's own words, ‘Mom, it was exciting and full of mystery. It compelled me to read more. I couldn't put it down.’ As a mom and an author, I give Sir Bentley and Holbrook Court two thumbs up!”
     – Tricia Goyer, homeschooling mom and author of eighteen books, including Generation NeXt Parenting

 

“A Pilgrim’s Progress for the Xbox generation! That’s what Chuck Black has achieved in his Kingdom Series. It’s an allegory of the whole Bible told in the medieval format of noble knights and scathing sword fights, quests and dragons, betrayal, and final victory by the true Prince over the Dark Knight.”

    -Dave Jackson, author of the Trailblazer novels

 

“Take up the sword handed to you and boldly carry it through the pages of Chuck Black’s Kingdom Series. You’ll be held captive by a creative journey through a distant world that leads to God’s Word…and a kingdom like no other.”

    -Tim Wesemann, author of Swashbuckling Faith

 

“Ever since John Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress," few attempts to put Biblical truth into allegorical form in stories have been successful or worthily written. The new Kingdom Series are a delightful exception that we are thankful to commend.”

    -Dennis Gundersen, Grace & Truth Books

 

This is an incredibly engaging allegorical presentation of the spiritual warfare being waged here on Earth, and of future events in the end times. The Kingdom Series uses knights, strongholds, swords, and kingdoms to convey the story of Christ - from the prophecies of Old Testament saints, to the battles believers are currently encountering, to the future victories under the Prince. The series is a wonderful way to introduce discussions of the end times, as well as to encourage us to be ready servants and prepared knights for our King. The books can stand alone, but their meaning is certainly clearer when read in sequence. If this is any testimony of the "enjoyment factor" (as well as the "teaching factor") of these books, our second son, Westley, read through the series twice within five days because he was captivated by the medieval-style storyline. But the books also caused him to ask several questions about how our world ends, and who will survive that final conflict. The Book 1 Prologue and ending commentaries in each title further elucidate the allegories presented. On a spiritual level and on an allegorically literary level, this is an outstanding series of books to consider.

“Imagine eight children of various ages sitting in a room enthralled by a book being read to them. Your imagination will turn to reality when you read The Kingdom Series by Chuck Black. My children begged for more, resulting in us reading the entire first book in one day!”

     -Terri Camp, homeschool mom, speaker, and author.

What amazes me is how well the books can captivate readers of such a range of ages. My children range in age from 8 through 17, and each of them thoroughly enjoyed the stories. And this 40-something mom often found she was just as caught up in them, excitedly reading further (and not necessarily because the children were cheering her on to do so!) Many a lunch hour was over-extended in order to hear what would happen next! As we came to the end of Kingdom's Dawn, the first of the four books, my youngest, Sarah, asked with disappointment, "Is that all?" She grinned happily to hear there were three more.

“Thank you for the last book [Kingdom’s Reign]! Josh has already finished it—and loved it! He started back over on Kingdom’s Dawn for the third time...thank you!”

     -Carol, Oklahoma City

 

 “I would like to say THANK-YOU for your incredible Kingdom's Dawn series. They are my absolute favorite books. They are filled with non-stop high packed action adventure, with the Word of the Lord and Bible Stories all put into one book. (Who would have thought it possible?) I am a girl of thirteen and I have many other girl friends that like them. Believe it or not but we have even made swords and shields to go with them, we like to play kingdom's dawn. We have had such a wonderful time reading the books.”
    -Kelsey, 13
