What do you think brethren?  These novel series I have finished reading and I cannot highly recommend them enough for great stories and allegories that best represents Religious Chivalry.

Hmm.  I might have to take a look at these.  Sir Joshua, have you ever read any of Frank Perretti's works?  One of my all-time favorite books is titled This Present Darkness.  Mr. Perretti has a way with words...you can almost feel things as you're reading.

Which one?  I've read This Present Darkness, Piercing the Darkness, and the Visitation.  I would say the first two epitomize the greatest of his work, the last one being a bit lighter in fare.

I have The Visitation, I haven't read the previous two though but I will see to that (thanks for the subtle recommendation).

It looks like I have to write up a full review on the Novel Series so that everyone here can get a better idea of the content of "Kingdom" and "Knights of Arrethtrae" novel series.
