I was first introduced to this book, by Philip C. Fields, the moderator of the Daily Bible Reading Podcast - part of our daily Bible reading plan - Digging Deeper Daily which is housed in the YouVersion of the bible devotionals. Philip was reading chapters, at a time, in part of our JoySightings podcast. I think we had gotten to chapter seven in the listening, when I chose to look the book up on Amazon and decided to purchase. I wanted to read along as Philip read. I started all over from the beginning and followed along as I listened to the readings.

What a wonderful piece of allegory. I was mesmerized throughout, but especially in the last chapter use of imagery. Such vivid pictures raced through my mind's eye as I read/listened to the words of the authors flow through the pages. I was indeed moved with Hope, Visions, Laughter and a desire to seek out the other two books in this trilogy.

Was this book written for young children to understand on their own? I guess it depends on their level of spirituality. As an adult, I loved every single bit of this book. It touched me deeply. I think it's a good conversation piece for families of small children to discuss. Middle school children may be able to comprehend this allegory or maybe it will appeal to them as a nice piece of fiction. With prayer, the Holy Spirit could work on their hearts to teach the meaning of the book.

Highly Recommend this book and hoping the other books in this trilogy will live up to this wonderful work of words.

Tales of the Resistance Kingdom Tales David R Mains Karen Burton Mains Linda Wells 9780781432870 Books Reviews

This is a story book you will want to read to your grand kids. My children loved it and are now reading it to their children.
I have loved this series since I was young. The stories are fun and exciting and are not overly "preachy". I love the Christian message, but to be honest, never saw the connection when I was younger. To me it was always a good story. Now that I am older I have purchased several copies of the whole series for my own family and also some friends. I think it is a great way to reinforce the story of Christ without making it feel like a bible lesson. Younger children will love the stories and older ones will understand the correlation between them and bible stories. I highly recommend this for any child's library.
We love this series. We can’t wait to read the third book. Well done parallel to the gospel. Very descriptive and fun for vocabulary learning.
This book series changed my walk with God, and my marriage has blossomed because of the emotional awareness that God has taught me through reading this story and engaging with the full supply of Heaven.
I was introduced to the "Tales of the Kingdom" series when my kids were elementary aged. When my friend first suggested it, I thought "OK, another good book but whatever. How good could it be?" How wrong I was!

This book is the 2nd in the series. It's an allegorical book subtly and through a fantasy-ish style follows the events (& adventures) of a young man who as a child had escaped Enchanted City, which is ruled by the evil enchanter. The young man now follows his King back into Enchanted City to rescue others, and to ultimately confront the Enchanter.

The adventures include rescuing orphans from the underground furnaces, a beautiful actress during her performance, a heartbroken princess, a little girl from the crazy roller-coaster in her mind, and various others. Ultimately, there's a show down between the Enchanter and the King with a dramatic ending.

Without going into detail and spoiling the story for you, each chapter is a story by itself, but all part of the young man's daring adventures and escapes from danger. Each chapter begins with an introduction of sorts and the launches into the story, which is exciting, sometimes dangerous, and always gripping. At the end of the chapter, there is a moral which sums up the message of the chapter.

Although this allegory beautifully represents God's heart for us, if you are not a believer, the stories will not be offensive as the Christian messages are not obvious or hammered upon. It will be a great adventure that your children can relate to, enjoy, and the good moral messages will encourage and inspire them.

Personal note At the time I finally got the first book in the series, "Tales of the Kingdom" I was dealing with depression. I had recently delivered my 4th baby and about 6 months later, fell into a dark place emotionally. I would read only 1 chapter in the evening to my little ones before bedtime, and often through choked-back tears, God would use these stories to minister to my heart while inspiring and teaching us all. Through these stories, He was showing me His heart for me as well as for my children, bringing hope, faith and healing.

Reading these books to them became a special, about twice a year thing. They would be quiet, and listen with rapt attention, and as I completed the chapter, they would BEG for another one. (By the way, a great way to encourage kids to want to read/hear more is to tell them that they have to wait until tomorrow to hear more - builds anticipation!) I never pointed out to them the allegorical similarities between the boy's stories and the Christian faith, trusting God to bring the revelation at the right time. A few years after we started reading them, my son commented on how he just realized that the story was a lot like the story of Jesus. D We had a neat conversation afterwards.

Years later, my now adult son was home for a visit and as I sat down in my youngest son's (child #6) room to read a chapter to him, my older son quietly slipped into the room, sat against the wall and listened as I read. Even as adults, my kids love the stories, and I still tear up just sharing about them with others, even as I write this review.

My plan is to buy the books for my grandkids, so I'm hoping that the publishers will do another printing of the hardcopy versions. In my opinion, these are keepsakes, to be shared through the years and handed down to the next generations. For that reason, I just really didn't like the paperbacks.
Awesome allegory. I read book 1 and 2 to my children when they were growing up. My oldest has the old copies and will read them to my grandchildren. My son and his wife will be having their first in a few months, and the request for the newest grandchild was for their own copes of Tales of the Kingdom and Tales of the Resistance. Book three will be for both my children and grandchildren next Christmas. Don't miss reading this out loud to your children and grandchildren.
I read these to my grandsons when they were children.They are marvelous, exciting tales of truth principles from the Scriptures. I purchased sets of these books for each of the 3 grandsons for their children...to pass on the fun!! In the books the Rangers greet each other with a special ranger handshake. When one of my grandsons graduated from US Army Reserve I congratulated him with the ranger handshake and he remembered it!
