Chuck Black’s Kingdom series

This series is like no other. You are taken to a fictional place, with some similarities to this world, and some not. There, you find many different characters, sometimes they might be familiar to you, and sometimes not. The characters follow the path of the Bible, from “In the Beginning,” to “May the grace be with Jesus on God’s holy people.” The first two books take all of the Old Testament in them and turn it into partial fiction, and at the same time entwining in characters you can love. The third book picks up from where the first two left off, pushing through the entire New Testament until God brings his people up to heaven. The fourth and fifth books follow Saul, then Paul as he travels to the ‘gentiles’ to bring them the good news. The final book focuses on Revelation, from when God banishes Satan into Hell, to the final revolution and the rising up into the New Jerusalem. These books are a biblical allegory to remember.
