<transcy>A Tale of Two Kingdoms (Un conte de deux royaumes)</transcy>
Presentation
A biblical theology of the kingdom
Many Christians have benefited greatly from the teaching given in their churches and in Sunday school, and they have an adequate knowledge of the characters and major topics covered in the Bible. However, an overview of the progressive revelation of God can contribute to a better understanding of the Holy Scriptures. By their very nature, the Scriptures first present us with truths in embryonic form, and then these truths find their full fulfillment in the person and work of Christ.
After years of careful research, the author presents the unfolding of biblical history as it traces the conflict between the kingdoms of Christ and that of Satan. In Revelation, the final triumph is beyond doubt. The maps, diagrams and documentation provided provide additional tools and encourage us to continue our research. We believe that Heather Kendall's book will prove to be a blessing for many.
Recommendations
We live in a time when it is vital for Christians to communicate the big picture of what constitutes our faith. Not just in scattered bits and pieces, as true as they are, but in stating how Christianity explains life as we know it, and interprets the origins of man and the end towards which this universe is heading. A Tale of Two Kingdoms accomplishes precisely this goal. It evokes this great picture, having God at its center, not in technical terms, but in a way that is faithful to the Bible.

I enjoyed reading various excerpts from your book. The theme of promised offspring is one of the main threads of theology that runs throughout all of Scripture. Thank you for raising and highlighting this topic. You have done a tremendous amount of work which I believe will be of interest to those who study the Word seriously, as well as those involved in theological and pastoral training.
