A Must Hear

Immensely enjoy all of the Kingdom and Knights of Arrethtrea series. Always waiting for the next one to come out. Only series that I can RELISTEN to and enjoy each time.

love the book

I have only read three out of the six in the series. And I have enjoyed this series. Kingdom Series is great how Chuck Black use the The Bible to tie in his story of knights and the great battles that they have in that time. At the end of the books there are discussion question and answers. That help show you what part of the Bible he uses to tell the story. I have never read a book cover to cover before, I'm 36 and have a hard time putting this series down.

An adult's review

On the back of the book it says it is supposed to be for teenagers. I enjoy a lot of 'young adult' fiction, so bought this book. Frankly, it's written more for pre-teens, maybe 8- to 12-year-olds. The language and writing is very simplistic for teenagers. I do think a pre-teen could really enjoy it, though. In my reviews of the first two books, I complained about how the author didn't do a good job making this book a true allegory, which he clearly wanted it to be. This book, however, is very good in both the writing and in the allegory. I think it helped that he let the allegory be looser (less 'this is this event!!') and each chacter represent one group of people or one person instead of changing what the character represents throughout the story. I would recommend this book to young adults and am going to give this book to my church's "Knights of the Cross" 4th and 5th grader Sunday school program as a prize gift.

A book you will benefit from reading!

Kingdom's Edge is the third book in the Kingdom's Series (Kingdom's Dawn and Kingdom's Hope being I and II). Leinad (Moses) has crossed the sea to be with the King (our Lord) and has left his stories with Cedric. Cedric of Chessington is not too sure if the stories are to be believed, but there is "something" about them that rings true. The Kingdom is going through some very tough times. The Noble Knights have lost their path--and now they are out for themselves rather than for the people and the King. Through the years they have stopped following the Code (Commandments) and become more interested in their own power over the people. In the midst of these hard times, the Prince arrives. His coming was foretold by Leinad. He gathers believers around him and trains his Knights (the Apostles) to fight the Dark Knight (Satan/evil) who with his Shadow Knights are coming to take over the Kingdom. Kingdom's Edge tells the story of the Prince's life, His death and then His rising again. Even if the reader does not catch all the symbolism that the author intends, this book is very inspirational. It gives the reader a sense of hope and reminds us, in a contemporary story, the importance of faith. Kingdom's Edge (as well as the other books in the Kingdom series), should be put on everyone's reading list. Armchair Interviews says: Anyone who reads it will benefit in some way.
