Pages: 134
Release Date: April 9, 2018

Note: I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. I have chosen to write this review to express my personal opinion.

About the book:

     The Millennial Kingdom is a wondrous time to be born into. The world is at peace and has become like the Garden of Eden; beautiful, exciting, and ruled by the Great King Himself who sits on His throne in the golden-street city of Glorania. In such a perfect place, who would expect thieves to prowl at night? It’s those two fumblers again, Lester Mudd and Castor Grout. This time the troublemakers intend to steal a special gift entrusted to Adam Beam by the Great King. Luckily, Adam is startled awake during the burglary. Lester and Castor panic and escape through a carelessly drawn Dream Door, accidentally landing on Noah’s Ark at the time of the Great Flood. It doesn’t take Adam long to figure out where the thieves have gone. At once Adam, his sister Sonia, and their pet Siberian Tiger Toby are in hot pursuit to recover the stolen treasure, only to learn that the gift has fallen into the raging flood waters and is permanently lost. Well, maybe not permanently. Adam has an idea how to find the precious gift, but it will take some clever Dream Doodling, the help of Noah and his family, a navy of friendly sea creatures, and . . . a submarine Dream Doodled from the far future. Naturally, the evil Evils intend to do all within their power to stop Adam from completing his mission.

My review:

     This is a delightful children’s Christian fantasy story!

     It was fun to return to the millennial kingdom of The Great King. I really like Adam, Zonia, and their pet tiger Toby. They are wonderful characters with a great attitude toward doing what they are asked. It was interesting to see how the fact that not everyone in the millennium would be doing the right thing was worked into this book.

     This time they are sent to visit Noah and his family on the ark. They face danger and difficult situations that they have to figure out. At times Noah is the one with answers. But in many ways it is the children themselves that come up with the solutions. The imagination of the authors really shows up in all the details that they suggest for the ark itself. It was a really fun book to read.

     This charming book is getting a rating of 5 stars from me. I am recommending it. It is a fun twist for learning the story of Noah’s ark.

Adam's Apples (Dream Doors Adventures #1) by Douglas Hirt & Terry James













Title: Adam’s Apples (Dream Door Adventures #1)
Author: Douglas Hirt & Terry James
Pages: 122
Release Date: March 7, 2018 
Genre: Children’s Christian Fantast
Publisher: CKN Christian Publishing
Format: eBook (also available in Paperback)

About the book:

     Ever wonder what living in a near-perfect world would be like? Bible prophecy promises just such a coming world! The Millennium will be One-thousand years of an Eden-like Planet Earth, ruled by Jesus Christ, the King of Kings!

     Adam Beam, a young boy, and his sister, Zonia, live in a future time, born in an era of a beautiful, Utopian world. The children live in Glorania, the capital city of New Eden, where the Great King rules an almost perfect planet. They face no dangers in this new world. Adam’s pet, Toby, for example, is a Siberian tiger weighing 1,000 pounds!

     Adam, Zonia, and Toby go through a “Dream Door” into the past, as part of Adam’s “Explore Time” adventure, the method by which children of New Eden Time learn history. They pass in and out of Dream Doors by means of the “Dream Doodler”, a fantastic instrument that can draw a spectacularly beautiful picture in midair. The children can jump into the picture they draw, to take them wherever they want to go.    

     Exciting, wonderful adventures await. Going them in their quest to find Adam’s Apples!

     Help get out the message that, for Christians, the future is not gloom and doom, but is God-Guaranteed to be gloriously splendiferous!

My review:

     This is an exciting Christian fantasy adventure for children!

     I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Millennium Kingdom. The characters are fun and very believable. The fears that they display at times are very typical for the type of adventure that they are undertaking. 

     I loved journeying along as they learned what limits that the Dream Doodler has and figure out how to work around them. The mission that they embark on to find Adam’s Apples is very imaginative. It is an enjoyable way to see what those born into in Millennium will lack in the area of understanding what those who live in the fallen world have to deal with.

     I’m looking forward to seeing what other periods of time and other adventures the authors come up with for this series of books.


     I have decided to give this book a rating of 5 stars. I am recommending it.
