<p><em>Do we know who our King is?</em></p><p>At thirty years of age, Jesus launched his ministry with the words &ldquo;Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Yet even before then, his life pulsated with the mystery and revelation of the kingdom of God&mdash;still the most critical and yet misunderstood component of the Christian faith and the life of anyone who desires to follow Jesus.</strong></p><p>In this electrifying book, author and speaker Rachel Starr Thomson argues that King and kingdom are inextricably interlinked: to see one is to see the other. In her lyrical, accessible style, she guides readers through Jesus&rsquo;s early life as chronicled in the gospel of Matthew&mdash;an ancient book that bridges Old and New Testaments and reveals king, and kingdom, within their prophetic and historical context.</p><p>Every day, millions of Christians pray &ldquo;<em>Your kingdom come.&rdquo;</em>&nbsp;Let this journey with Jesus deepen your understanding and practice of those words as you see Jesus in a whole new light, and with him, discover the astonishing reality of the kingdom of heaven on earth.</p><p><strong>Rachel Starr Thomson&nbsp;</strong>lives, writes, and drinks too much coffee in the Niagara Region of Ontario. She is an international speaker with 1:11 Ministries and the author of thirty-some works of fiction and nonfiction. Since 2015, she has blogged verse by verse through the gospel of Matthew at RachelStarrThomson.com.</p>
