Jesus taught us to pray for God's kingdom to come. But do we understand what we are praying for and what the kingdom of God really looks like?

Using the analogy of God as the director of the greatest show on earth, Richard Porter shows how the kingdom of God is the overarching story line throughout the Bible. Each scene, from the people of Israel to Jesus and the early church, reveals kingdom truths that should impact the church today.

As the story unfolds, you can understand why Jesus proclaimed the message of the kingdom. It is indeed good news for our towns, our cities, our homes and families.
