Publisher's Synopsis
BOOK THREE: In the face of surging technology and massive construction, is there still room for paradise?
Six hundred years into the thousand-year reign of the King in Jerusalem, a cohort of mortal humans experiments with the divine power once only wielded by the saints who rule with the King. New generations are training in these powers, as some live for more than 500 years. Children once rescued by Joshua Stippleman, from abusive homes in rebel cities, have grown up to lead others to freedom. Rebel communities continue to expand, and the number of those resisting the King has surpassed the population of the loyalists. The population explosion-in a world with little disease, no poverty and no wars-demands technological solutions, including a lunar colony, floating cities on the oceans and in the air, and three-hundred-story buildings. Even amid this high-tech expansion, servants of the King maintain Eden zones, where mortals can live like Adam and Eve. In those safe and fruitful gardens, inhabitants are free from bondage to technology and possessions. This is the third book in The Reign series. The first book introduces the new world under the rule of Christ on his throne in Jerusalem and tells the story of Rodney Stippleman, retired army captain and Joshua's father.
