Sir Knight of the Splendid Way
$27.00
Deep into the Vale of Promise ventures Sir Constant, a young knight who desires nothing more than to be in the service of the Great King. Though unworthy of this high calling, he sets forth on the Splendid Way—the perilous road that all who desire to serve the King must take. His faith and valor will be tested, his strength and endurance will be challenged, and his allegiance to the one true King will be proven. A rich allegory wrought with biblical truth.

My New Favorite Book This book was absolutely phenomenal. Like Pilgrims Progress it is a great allegory for the Christian walk, but unlike PP, it is a simple story and the concepts are easy to understand. I will absolutely read this to my kids and to my grandkids. This is a novel I can see myself reading every single year. It is rich with good morals and Christ centered themes. I will recommend this book to everyone. And whats not to love about chivalry and knights!

Very Encouraging Story! For the most part, I enjoyed this book! I love books about knights and adventure, and this one had both, with a really clear Christian message to boot! I also was glad there was no romance in this book, as I’m very picky with romance, and it’s seldom I find a book without romance in it. So that was also a plus for me personally. The commitment of the main character to Christ was also something I really liked, and it has encouraged me personally to evaluate my own life and see if I can’t work on becoming a better Christian myself.
There were a couple negatives about the book though for me. The beginning was a little confusing, trying to figure out what all the allegorical symbols meant, but as I read along, they gradually came to me. The confusing timing and uneven transitions were the main issue I had with this book, but I’m hoping when I listen to the corresponding dramatic audio CDs, it will smooth out those spots! However, because of the confusion they caused me, it has made me rate this book at four stars.
Would I recommend this book? For anyone who enjoys reading allegorical books set in a medieval time, written in Old English, and with a strong Christian message, a resounding yes!
