I did not know what to expect from Chuck Black book. Biblical allegories are often lame and you get the feeling the author is trying too hard to make a point. That is not the case here. These books are fun to read. Chuck Black is the author of many novels including the popular Kingdom Series and The Knights of Arrethtrae series. Each story is strong enough to stand on its own. I have 10 kids, and each of the readers enjoy the books. Even kids who are not familiar with the different Bible stories will still be on the edge of their seats. My wife has read all of them aloud. Our children are familiar with Bible stories, and 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. Then, after reading to them we hear "Please! One more chapter!" This is a refrain I hear nearly every night.
This is a review of the AUDIOBOOK version of the storyReview written by 12 year old boy:Kingdom's Call is about a Noble Knight called Gavin who honors his King and the Code, but when a pauper claims to be the King's Son, Gavin's life changes. Fellow knights, commoners, and towns folk start following the Prince and defy the Noble Knight's order to stay away from the imposter. Sir Gavin and the leader Caiaphas plan to kill the imposter and capture and imprison his followers. After murdering the Prince, the Noble Knights send Sir Gavin after the Followers, but he is intercepted by three Dark Warriors who badly wound his right arm. Gavin is saved by the Prince who persuades Gavin of his Kingship. Gavin becomes a Follower of the Prince.This story correlates to the Bible in that the pauper who claims to be the King's Son is Jesus claiming to be the Son of God, Gavin being hurt then saved by the Prince is Paul on the road to Damascus, the King and the Code are God and the Ten Commandments.Our family has enjoyed this series by Chuck Black in the car on family trips and I love it because it challenges me to be a better Christian and to keep my sword sharp!I only use 5 stars on books I buy for my permanent library. This book is part of my "all ages" library.Would I/Did I buy it? YesWould I read it again? YesWould I recommend it to friends? Yes
I really liked this book. It was the most unpredictable Christian book I have ever read. With terrific battle sequences, intense duels, and a story line from the Bible. I highly recommend this book.Reviewed by ReidAge 11
The "Kingdom" series by Chuck Black is FANTASTIC! My 10-year-old son is on his second read through the entire 6-book series. It is a wonderful allegory to the story of God's son Jesus being sent to save humanity from their sins - truly a "Pilgrim's Progress" for his generation. I am so pleased to have something available for him to read that offers him an exciting picture of God's love and story for us in a format he loves reading!

I should review every book, but for the sake of time, I'm only going to review a couple. This book was one of my favorites. Chuck Black really brought it home with this one. The whole time reading this book, you can see it playing like a movie in your mind. The sense of adventure and zeal, and revolting against the expectation to believe what we've always been taught is right despite God's Call elsewhere. This book will open your eyes to not only question what you've always believed, but give you the courage to take a stand. The book will put some fire in you that's probably been lost over the years of serving Christ. It's refreshing as Chuck relates Spiritual truth in the way Christ did to His disciples, through stories and parables.Go ahead and start with book one and read the whole series. By the time you reach book 3, you'll be hooked, I assure you.
