The Fourth Kingdom & The Force
Is it possible to be a good person and yet still be connected to great evil? How do we define evil? How much time has to pass before a person's actions no longer matter? If human beings are molded by genetics and environment. where does personal responsibility come into play? Do Christians have a right to judge or even define evil without taking into account extenuating circumstances?
The Kingdom Chronicles examines real evil and the Christian response to it. How do we define it, how do we respond to the people who participate in it and how should we confront it? These books are dark and often violent, but they explore the serious questions that increasingly confront our modern world.
