Kingdom's Dawn

Biblically allegorical medieval fantasy. In other words, perfection. All my favorite things wrapped up in a single series! First read the Kingdom books when I was 12. Eight years later, it's still one of my favorites. Chuck Black is such a talented author; I wish there were more writers like him! I love the discussion questions in the back of each book.

I am a longtime medieval fantasy enthusiast, and a Christian. I am used to "Christian fiction" being either a good story that is seriously theologically flawed, or a bad, bad story that is theologically sound. Rarely do you find a book that is both a good story and theologically sound, let alone an entire series. I am also a medieval reenactor and practitioner of Western Martial Arts. As such my only suggestion might be a greater familiarity with medieval swordplay but I'm very picky and I admit that anything that seemd awry was more than made up for elsewhere. ;) My son is only three right now, but I am eagerly awaiting the day he is old enough for me to go through this series with him. Thank you Mr. Black for your service and ministry.

My son and I both read all of the books in the series and many times we found it hard to put the books down. I would recommend the books to anyone that enjoys medieval times and sword fights. I enjoyed figuring out the different allagories to the bible that where in the books.

I read this book to my 8 & 6 year old children last summer. They didn't want me to put it down. At one point it brought my son to tears. We are currently reading the last book in the series; Kingdom's Reign. I am thinking of purchasing them in audio form sold from the publisher.

Gave to my 13 year old grandson. He loved it, couldn't put it down! Can't wait to read the rest of the series now. It's hard to find good Christian books that appeal to him, but this has lots of action and adventure, written from a basis of wholesome Christian values. I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed this book and was anxious to read the next in the series. As a teenager I highly recommend this book for all age groups. The author did a good job of portraying the bible in a medieval setting which made for exciting reading. This book goes goes from creation through captivity under the Pharoah which in this book is named Fairos. Great book! Highly recommend and I am so excited to see that the author has written more for a total of 6 in this series as of May 2007!
