This collection reflects the deep desire to be part of something greater, to be connected to a story greater than my own. In pursuit of this desire, growing up, a week didn't go by that I wasn't reading the next great fantasy novel, devouring each one within hours or days. The Redwall series by Brian Jacques was one of my earliest experiences of a fantasy world brimming with lively, colorful characters. Then, as I grew, I kept company with heroes and villains, warriors the likes of Aragorn from the Lord of the Rings and Tanis Half-Elven from the Dragonlance Chronicles. The longer the series the better, because in all of us there is a deep desire for a story that never ends, but only gets better, and that desire was stoked with each new volume. Eventually, I came to feel like I needed more than the stories could offer, however. In that time, I met Jesus, and realized that all of us have a chance to be an active part of the greatest imaginable story, one with all of the excitement and warfare and reward that we find in the greatest of novels, and more than that, because Jesus said that He came to give us abundant life. With Him, my journey in literature has changed, so that I now enjoy some of the more powerful works of people like Ted Dekker, Jerry B. Jenkins, and, especially, C.S. Lewis, but I still haven't forgotten the joys of the books of my youth, and some of those writers are still putting out wonderful work even now.
Over mij
Hello! I’m Jonathan Macnab, writer of The Hidden Kingdom book series. I write stories because I believe that in every story there are shards of truth. Stories speak to us at a deep, spiritual level, whether we intend them to do so or not, because we are part of a story. We are part of God’s story. Finding our place in that story is the single most important thing we will ever do in our life, because all true life comes out of it.

So, I write. I write the stories of us all, and I do it through fiction, because imagination is built into who we are. We are meant to dream, to see the unseen and wait for it to come. That is why I write with hope, hope for what could be, what should be – if the world were as God intended. My books all come from taking a long, hard look at my own soul, and asking my Father God what it is that He intended when He made me., and what He intended for the world around me and it’s beautiful people. God’s word says “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart…”(Jeremiah 1:5), and I take God at His word. He has a purpose for me, and, because He is the only good Father, He shows me who I am day by day, teaching me. As He shares with me the truth about myself and about the world, I want to share it with you.
