Book Reviews of Kingdom's Dawn (Kingdom, Book 1)
Book Review: Great fun, great story
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. Biblical allegories are often lame, and you get the feeling the author is trying too hard. I didn't get that feeling here. The story is different and strong enough to stand on its own. Kids who are not familiar with the various Biblical stories will still be on the edge of their seat. And if your child is familiar with Bible stories, once they "get" what is going on, it adds another whole level of interest as they try to link the story they are hearing with the stories they already know. But, that usually happens after each episode, since some of the segments are so tense they are completely lost in the story. I have three kids between 10 and 14, two girls and a boy, and they all love this book. "Please! One more chapter!" is a refrain I hear nearly every night.
One thing to note - the author does not shy away from accurate descriptions of battle and torture. They are age-appropriate and not gratuitous, and Black seems to have a knack for just getting to the point where it might be a bit much and then backing down. It's a fine line, but I think he walks it well. The Bible is not all neat, clean, and tidy, and I'm glad the book is not either.
Highly recommended.
Summary of Kingdom's Dawn (Kingdom, Book 1)
A Riveting Medieval Parallel to the BibleGood and evil clash. Leinad and Cedric are determined to not only survive, but claim hope and victory! In Kingdom?s Dawn, Leinad and Tess, along with all the king?s people, must escape slavery by the powerful Lord Fairos. Kingdom?s Hope finds them free and arriving in the Chessington Valley. But when they forget the king, will Kergon and the Kessons capture them for good? After many years, Kingdom?s Edge finds Cedric living a hopeless life until a stranger appears with powerful words of a new kingdom and a grand army. Finally, Kingdom?s Reign marches you through the danger of earth?s last days as the evil dark knight threatens to defeat the prince once and for all. Swords, knights, and battles define these captivating tales that parallel biblical events from Genesis to Revelation!
He?s just a young man, but that doesn?t change the truth.
He was chosen?
Sixteen-year-old Leinad thought he was a common farmer?s son, nothing more. He wondered why his father had trained him for years to master the sword?not exactly a tool of the trade for farmers?but one tragic event initiates a world of revelation.
Only then does he begin to understand his calling?a calling no other man in the entire kingdom of Arrethtrae can fulfill?a calling given him by the King himself.
Teamed with a young slave girl, Leinad is thrust into adversity and danger?for the Dark Knight and his vicious Shadow Warriors will stop at nothing to thwart the King?s plan to restore the kingdom. Leinad will need more than a sharp blade and a swift hand to fulfill his mission and survive the evil plots of the King?s sworn enemies!
Journey to Arrethtrae, where the King and His Son implement a bold plan to save their kingdom; where courage, faith, and loyalty stand tall in the face of opposition; where good will not bow to evil?and the future of a kingdom lies in the hands of a young man.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS INCLUDED
Story Behind the Book
?When my six kids? eyes glossed over during a reading from the Bible, I paused to explain the significance of redemption to a sin-sick soul. I was rewarded with patronizing elephant nods and more blank stares. Shortly thereafter, I awoke in the middle of the night with a medieval story enveloping my mind. I wrote it down and later read it to my children. Their waning attention transformed into complete anticipation. I was amazed and disappointed. Why did it take a fictional story, not a Bible passage, to get that response? Then I realized?that is how Jesus taught! Parables are powerful! I penned the Kingdom series to help young people get excited about the supremely significant story of Jesus Christ and His mission to save mankind.?
