The Forming of the Empire: A King Montezuma Story: Book 1
About
What would it look like if God’s People were the Mexicans, and God’s Promised Land was Mexico? This book answers that question as it follows Jameson, his father, and their personal guide Geraldo. The Old Testament stories unfold anew in Mesoamerican times, beginning in the jungles of Guatemala. The trio journey to different pyramids on the way to Mexico, to hear biblical stories that took place at the nearby mountains. Montezuma serves as the King David character, as the Law section of the Hebrew Scriptures through the book of Kings comes alive in fresh new ways. The Empire is slowly formed, with God’s help, but what brought about its demise after the Mexican monarchy divided?

His extensive knowledge of the Bible and the geography of Central America enables him to recast this great narrataive in a different culture with different implications. Adkins creatively sheds fresh light and adventure on 'the greatest story ever told.'"
