The Claiming: Book Two of the Defenders of the Realms, Paperback

Having emerged victorious from the Cemetery of the Old Man, Eli begins his training as a commissioned defender of the realms. Eli's training does not last long as the Enemy, furious from his defeat in the cemetery, forces a showdown between the young defender and an ancient foe. With countless souls at stake, Eli must travel to the Desolate City and square off against an army of spiritual foes lead by the giant Polytheist. If Eli is to survive this latest mission for the King, he must learn the difference between knowing the truths of the King's Word and claiming these truths in his own life. In this latest installment of the Defenders of the Realms series, the author continues to display his gifted use of analogy as he makes the Bible come alive by weaving together the teachings of the Bible with the reader's imagination. This action-packed, page-turner not only keeps the attention of the reader, it also teaches Biblical truth and encourages Christian growth in an entertaining and relevant way.

About the Author:

Nathan D. Thomas has a passion for making the Scriptures come alive in a relevant and inspiring way for all ages. Residing in South Florida as lead pastor of Temple Baptist Church in North Fort Myers, Nathan has dedicated his life to sharing his passion through teaching, preaching, and writing. A multiple published author through Journeyforth publishers in Greenville, SC, Nathan has been burdened by a lack of quality Christian literature for children and teenagers. As a result, Nathan has authored the Defenders of the Realms series designed to engage the imaginations of his readers while teaching doctrinally sound biblical truth. Nathan's ministry has taken him all around the world. He has travelled the mountains of Guatemala ministering in several orphanages, he has witnessed God perform the "impossible" as he has led souls to Christ on the streets of post-Christian London, and Nathan has used his gifts of teaching and preaching in missions work throughout the islands of the Philippines. Though burdened for the peoples of the world, Nathan's passion is to see American children and American teenagers come to Christ and answer the call to serve the Lord with their lives. Nathan D. Thomas is also a popular event speaker who enjoys speaking at graduations, closing ceremonies, youth rallies, camp settings, revivals, and conferences for both teenagers and adults.
