Sir Kendrick Book Giveaway
I had two polls within the past two weeks about the Kingdom Series, written by Chuck Black, which is a series “The Kingdom Series is an expanded parable that uses the adventures of medieval knights to accomplish the same. This series is great for read-alouds! Designed to instill Biblical character and principles in young people, parents can be comfortable knowing that these books contain no magic, wizardry, mysticism, or fantasy elements. For ages 9 to 99! Each book contains in-depth discussion questions which are great for studies in Literature, History, and Bible.”
About The Author
Chuck Black is a Christian, homeschool father of 6. He enjoys writing fiction stories. You can tell this from reading his books that is a Christian author, because he uses stories from the Bible. He copies them in a sense, but you can tell they are from the Bible.
My family really enjoys the Kingdom Series books. As the review above, taken from The Old Schoolhouse Store, says they are designed to instill Biblical character and principles for ages 9 to 99. They also have no magic or mysticism as that of the popular Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings and still keep a child’s (or adult’s) attention for hours on end. Mother Dear feels safe letting her children read these books with no side-affects spiritually or emotionally, except for the fact that my brother act as if he is one of the knights for days afterwards! Haha
Lady Rachel @ A City on a Hill wrote a review on the first book in the series, Kingdom’s Dawn, on Growing In Grace Magazine several months ago, and said…
“This book series was such a thriller for me. I loved it. I love the era it is set in: almost medieval. Like most stories of that era, there are knights in shining armour and evil lords to conquer. I just love reading about gallant knights who save people from being killed by vicious evil lords. This series was just the right one for me since I love reading about them. I am sure you will agree after you finish reading the first book that you won’t be able to keep yourself from reading the next one. It has become one of my favourite series….Read entire article.”
Now, from my poll some of you said that this wasn’t a series you’d be interested in, but I would still recommend you getting it from your library and see if you can put it down. I really would like to know. Mr. Black did an excellent job writing the story and writing in such a way that it keeps your attention. As many of you know I”m not a big reader, but I couldn’t put the book down when I started reading it. Not to mention the fact that it’s knight and fighting, which I absolutely love. Action packed and with Godly-traits. This series is not only for boys, but for boys and girls of all ages. This is a series you can read to yourself or read as a read-aloud.
There are six books in the series, but just recently Mr. Black added another volume entitled “Sir Kendrick & the Castle of Bel Lione, Knights of Arethtrae“, which is probably just as tremendous as the other six. We will probably buy it to add to my brother’s collection as he just got the last three books for his birthday, signed by Mr. Black.
As you can tell we really like these books, and I want to give you a chance to own the newest addition, Sir Kendrick, for yourself signed by Mr. Chuck Black! Would you like to win it? Read below!
