Timothy Michael Hurst
As with all my reviews, I am not an affiliate.
I can, however, tell you that I am a fan! I look forward to following this young man’s insightful writing for years to come.
Timothy is revising his epic series, The Kinsman’s Tree. While similar in some ways to allegories by C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, and another of my favorite Christian authors, Chuck Black? Tim’s fantasy world and story are deep. You won’t skim through this. But you will be entertained and challenged! View Biblical truths and doctrines of the faith presented from a new, fresh perspective!
I’ll go out on a limb here and speculate (pray!) that Timothy’s writing will not only entertain, but be used of God to help many to “connect the dots.” For those whose faith is faltering, to get their fire rekindled. For those strong in the faith? To draw even closer to the strength, hope, purpose, and peace that is found in the true Savior.
Enjoy this thought-provoking adventure. I’m looking forward to the whole series!

Here’s his synopsis of Book One, which offers an outstanding description (it does remind you a little of The Lord of the Rings, doesn’t it?):
The Empire of Chōl has conquered the world, spreading darkness through an army of wraiths, the Nihúkolem. Ancient texts speak of a coming Kinsman who will restore what was lost, but promise fades in the smothering grip of evil.
Hidden in the village of Endego, tiny creatures called the Etom struggle to survive beneath the willows. When their peaceful existence is shattered, young Nat must embark on an impossible quest. Guided by supernatural events and spurred by sacrifice, he sets out to seek the world’s one enduring hope.
But the path to the Kinsman leads through treacherous wilds, ancient mysteries, and the very heart of Creation itself. Discovering truths about his veiled heritage and a Tree that holds the power of life, Nat must choose between security and a mission that could save them all.
Will courage triumph over darkness? Can the least among us yet carry the greatest hope?
Each novel in his series is being revised. Revision of Book One is the series title, The Kinsman’s Tree. It is already available. So is Book Two, The Æglet’s Answer!
This novel continues Nat’s quest, now including a daring rescue of his mother and friends. Will they be in time to rescue their hometown of Endego?
There’s another creature, Sayah a hapless, weak, stunted bird of prey. Can the banished Sayah overcome his humiliation, his banishment, the demonic powers at work to destroy everything good and decent? Can this “least of all” rest his fate in the Kinsman’s nail-pierced hands and answer to the Spirit’s call?
Sayah, Nat, his mother, friends, and all of Endego. . . The Æglet’s Answer “deepens the spiritual journey—exploring themes of abiding in the Vine, bearing fruit through suffering, and discovering that the smallest creatures can carry Heaven’s mightiest hope.”
