Taking the Kingdom seems to be a book on the spiritual side of things, however, it is actually about war, treason, bullying, and friends for life. This is a fictional fantasy work that is based on a series of dreams that spans for more than a year. There are a lot of named People in this story, and several of them are people that I know, but their situations have been changed to be a good fit for the work. and yes, I talked to them about the roles before adding them to the work. There are things on the power of love, the power of friendship, and what it could look like to have that one true friend. What happens when we are faced with bullies? Did you know that is what terrorism is, bullying other? That is my take on it anyway. the Story line starts out in Africa, and the only ones to truly get away were certain children, the story then goes to a certain city in North Carolina, it is there that, a certain person goes to this city and life happens, sort of. The rest of the story is just a never ending cycle of divine favor that is poured out through pain, suffering, torments, death, kidnapping, and treason, that makes this short story worth the while.
