A "fairy tale for children of all ages" in the tradition of George MacDonald and C.S. Lewis. The Sword, the Garden, and the King is written by the man who has continued the legacy of Lewis and MacDonald into our generation with his own best-selling works of fiction.

When fourteen-year old Matthew Robinson enters the world of the Forest of Pellanor, he and his brother and sister embark on an adventure that will require all the courage they can muster. The three do not know it, but all Pellanor has been waiting for them to rescue its creatures from a danger that threatens the forest families and the life they have known.

The place: A European center of power in the emerging New World Order.

The event: An international conference plotting the strategy for evangelism in the post-Cold War era.

Jackson Maxwell, Christian journalist, travels to Berlin intent upon capturing the spirit of this historic gathering. But behind the scenes, a much more crucial chain of events is about to take shape.

As high-tech churchmen plan a big-money conversation of the East, Jackson is suddenly faced with the life-or-death struggle of one solitary Christian. He is Andrassy Galanov, a former KGB spy, whom aspiring leaders of the New Order want dead as soon as possible.

When Jackson and leading evangelist Jacob Michaels make the decision to help, they are plunged into a hidden world of political intrigue…phony coups d’état…plans for a one-world currency…and a sinister religious vision for the globe.
In their race against time, Jackson and Jacob also run headlong into their most surprising find—the rethinking of the very nature of Christian conversion itself.
