About the AuthorĮd Dunlop has worked in children’s ministries full-time for more than thirty-five years. It is our prayer that the Kingdom Tales from Terrestria will challenge your entire family to serve the King of kings. Books 2 and 3 belong together, and Books 4 and 5 should be read together. Unlike the Chronicles, which are sequential and should be read chronologically, the Tales are stand-alone books and can be read in almost any order. The stories are fast-paced and captivating, but each was written to deliver a powerful message and draw your heart to the King. Like the Terrestria Chronicles, each Kingdom Tales from Terrestria book was written to honor and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ as King and challenge the reader to love and serve Him.
