Hello, I am not so sure how to do this. I am homeschooled and love fantasy books(well duh I guess this is why this website is here). :rofl: Have any of you ever read the kingdom series by Chuck Black?

Welcome LadyCarliss :) It's lovely to have you here! I was homeschooled too! It's great fun isn't it. I have never read those books, are they really good? :D I shall have to try them some time.

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Lady Carliss.

It seems like just about everyone on Holy Worlds was or is homeschooled. :)

Weclome Lady Carliss. We are very glad to have you with us. The books you mentioned are on my list, but I have not been able to read them yet. Did you enjoy them?

May your time with us be blessed, and our time with you be such as well.

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Welcome, Lady C! *flytacklehug* ;) Yes, I think most of the people on here are homeschooled. :D It's great to have you here! I haven't read the kingdom series. What publisher are they from? I hope you have lots of fun, poking around this forum!

On the contrary, I've read the Kingdom Series (not all of the KoA books yet) and I believe SmfC (I'm calling you that now) has too since she's from KQ ;)

I've read the KS and also the Knights of Arrethtrae (PLUS the last two!)!! Just in case you're all wandering what KQ is, let me explain: It's a fan forum dedicated to Chuck Black's books (author of the KS and KoA), you can check it out HERE.

Note: The rest of the site is currently under construction, but we hope that it'll be up again soon. ;)
