This novel is a shining example of quintessential vintage Canadiana! With an Ivy League education and a promising career at an international law firm, one might think Ben Cabot is the picture of success, but there is something missing from his privileged life. Apart from his bad luck with the ladies, Ben has an existential crisis when he becomes embroiled in a bitter battle against the greedy and corrupt leaders at Christ Church Cathedral. Set in the charming city of Montreal (presumably during the 1980s), For Theirs is the Kingdom by Christopher Carlisle will compel you to look deep within your soul and seek the true meaning of the gospel as you analyze Jesus’s ministry. Along the way, you’ll meet an unforgettable cast of characters and fall in love with the vibrant Quebecois culture before being whisked away to the motherland where the French language was born.
The cover features a photo of the cathedral with its foundation exposed during an excavation underneath the building. The white title font is bold and clear. The text is separated into forty brief chapters, and the themes include Christianity, theology, morality, drama, international travel, Quebecois culture, and friendship. There is no violence in this book. However, there are several instances where profanity is used. The novel discusses the Christian faith at length. So, it is best suited for Bible believers.
