Thistledom, a tiny kingdom born somewhere in the Land of the Mitten, remains home to our beloved Nobbies. It is indeed a Land where “seeds of promise” are sprinkled for all who would seek them. The centerpiece of Thistledom, A Kingdom is Born, was the great love story between Zygmunt and Irene.
In a tiny kingdom somewhere in the Land of Mitten, lies Thistledom, home of intelligent and resourceful little people called Nobbies. Author John LaCroix’s marvelous mix of characters, creatures, and life values binds a carefully crafted narrative, encompassing a truly refreshing tale for all ages.
This short adventure by John W. LaCroix written thirty years ago introduced the Nobby character, as well as the fearsome troggs and doogles. The setting is at Christmas time when Princess Emily hosts a party for her cousins in Le Grande Chateau Castle.
The faces of good and evil do appear throughout our world. Undoubtedly, you are familiar with both. Author John LaCroix describes in graphic scriptural and philosophical terms, the initial inherent goodness of creation, and then reveals the tragic genesis of evil in a new and fascinating manner.
God is a personal God who has spoken to men. His words are Revelation, and man’s response is Faith. Revelation by nature is public. Passed on orally, it becomes Tradition; recorded in writing, it becomes Scripture. Hence, the written record in the new Testament is vitally important – the permanent and unchanging testimony of the apostolic generation.
Throughout all of recorded history, and even in the traces left in caves and fossil remains, Man has known intuitively about the presence of God, but did not know who God was. Man made God a superhuman and saw God as just like Man only better in every way. We will soon see that one group of people saw it differently – the Israelites.
