Dr Mark Loretz has been a close friend and ministry colleague for over twenty years. I consider him to be a truly gifted and anointed Kingdom teacher and prophetic voice of our time. He has a passion for extending God’s Kingdom in every sphere of society and helping people and organisations to achieve their full potential in Christ. He is truly a man of God who is wholeheartedly committed to love and obey God, and to fulfil all that God has called him for. In this great new book, he brilliantly and practically reveals and unlocks so many precious gems of revelation regarding the Kingdom of God that I can highly recommend it to every believer in the body of Christ.

I have found sowing seed, thinking it was good ground and hoping for a return is not what the Kingdom is, but pressing in, waiting, listening and growing in my relationship with the Holy Spirit and being obedient to His prompting has revealed the reality of The Kingdom, which is within me. Within these pages, Mark has managed to coerce the reader to delve deeper into their relationship with the Father to find the lustrous pearl, and compel you, the purchaser to sell everything to possess it. The writings expose the gap between the child-like faith illustration Jesus used of the Kingdom of heaven belonging to children, to the reality in adulthood of what it entails and the availability as Jesus taught in His Prayer. The challenge has been to understand again that it is in seeking first His Kingdom and His Righteousness, which reveals the ultimate Pearl of Great Worth – Jesus Christ and His Kingdom.

I am excited about this beautifully written Kingdom guidebook, as it gives us various keys and strategies to live a Kingdom life. It also challenges us to become Kingdom establishers and to build the Kingdom of Jesus where we live and work. I enjoyed the parts referring to Kingdom mindsets and attitudes that teach the believer a different worldview, to attract a life of miracles as well as being instrumental in letting His Kingdom come on earth as in Heaven. What Dr Mark Loretz describes, is how to practically align ourselves with the Kingdom of God to live the life of overflow as Jesus intended.

Teamed with a young slave girl, Leinad is thrust into adversity and danger—for the Dark Knight and his vicious Shadow Warriors will stop at nothing to thwart the King’s plan to restore the kingdom. Leinad will need more than a sharp blade and a swift hand to fulfill his mission and survive the evil plots of the King’s sworn enemies! Journey to Arrethtrae, where the King and His Son implement a bold plan to save their kingdom; where courage, faith, and loyalty stand tall in the face of opposition; where good will not bow to evil—and the future of a kingdom lies in the hands of a young man. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS INCLUDED Story Behind the Book “When my six kids’ eyes glossed over during a reading from the Bible, I paused to explain the significance of redemption to a sin-sick soul. I was rewarded with patronizing elephant nods and more blank stares. Shortly thereafter, I awoke in the middle of the night with a medieval story enveloping my mind. I wrote it down and later read it to my children. Their waning attention transformed into complete anticipation. I was amazed and disappointed. Why did it take a fictional story, not a Bible passage, to get that response? Then I realized—that is how Jesus taught! Parables are powerful! I penned the Kingdom series to help young people get excited about the supremely significant story of Jesus Christ and His mission to save mankind.” — Chuck Black
