Welcome to the Kingdom Seekers Circle!
The aim of the Kingdom Seekers Circle reviews is to build a library of books that are written so we might “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33), even in reading!
Each review features a Hallelu Yah! I read with the intentionality of seeking God and glean things in works of fiction that are true of God in real life, so that I can praise Him.
Ephesians 4:29 says, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only with is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”
I would waste my time preparing written critiques and telling you about all the books we shouldn’t read. What you don’t see is either 1) not kingdom-seeking material or 2) not yet discovered.
Ephesians 4:15 says, “But, speaking the truth in love, (we) may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ.”
