KINGDOM'S DAWN

KINGDOM'S DAWN by Chuck Black

We recently read Kingdom's Dawn for our family devotions. Book 1 of 6 of The Kingdom Series by Chuck Black, this amazing allegorical story goes through many of the Genesis stories of the Old Testament but is told in a medieval setting. Reading the story you will recognize the stories of Creation and the Fall. You'll recognize the Biblical characters of Satan, Joseph, Moses, Pharaoh, and more. Once you finish the story be sure and flip back to the Author's Notes to fully appreciate all the parallels from the Bible that Black wrote into his story.

I was unfamiliar with this series until this spring when I had multiple encounters with the book. First, my husband and I heard Chuck Black speak at the Homeschool Convention we attend. We both walked away from his session very touched and convicted. Black is a former Air Force F-16 pilot who has an amazing heart for God and his family. He wrote his stories originally for his kids, and now we are blessed to be able to enjoy the stories as well. Second, my eldest daughter attends a dramatic arts school. This spring as well, one of the students, who had grown up reading this series and was very spiritually touched by them, wrote the story into a script, and the academy performed the play. Chuck Black was able to attend one of the performances. It was clear it was time for us to experience this wonderful book.
