1 Introduction
Over the past
little while, I have had the opportunity to get my hands on books
written by Canadian Christian authors. It has been a great joy to
read these books and I would like to share my thoughts on them.
Come join me.
2 Heather Kendall
If I ever wanted a book to read
alongside the Bible, Heather Kendall’s book A Tale of Two Kingdoms
is the one I choose. Insightful and detailed this book reads like a
combination between study guide and novel. It is packed full of
important information about the history surrounding the Bible and
leaves me scrambling back to the scriptures to verify the content.
Ms. Kendall’s Biblical overview would benefit anyone interested in
analyzing the scriptures but it is also an excellent book to
introduce a person to the truth of scripture in an easy-to-read
format.
Ms. Kendall begins in the beginning with Genesis
and shares the stories of scripture in chronological order. She
offers tidbits of information such as where and when the historical
accounts were written. She draws from the intellects of numerous
theologians and historians and while some of her sources are
unfamiliar to me, the ones that I am familiar with are known for
their wisdom. She then works it all together into an interesting
and challenging manual that the serious thinker would find an
absolute treasure. Ms. Kendall walks us through each Biblical
account and leaves no thought unchallenged.
This is a book that I would recommend to teens who are questioning
the validity of scriptures, non-Christians interested in what the
Bible says and adults who want all the knowledge surrounding the
Bible.
