The Hunting of the Snark is a whimsical and nonsensical poem by Lewis Carroll about a curious crew of adventurers on a voyage to find the mysterious Snark. Along the way, they encounter absurd situations, strange creatures, and playful language that stretches the imagination. Though the story is fantastical and full of Carroll’s signature wordplay, it is lighthearted and suitable for older children and adults who enjoy clever humor and imaginative storytelling. The poem explores themes of adventure, curiosity, and the joy of puzzling mysteries, rather than focusing on violence or danger.

In the first three books of The Kingdom Systems Series we concentrated on the very real and crucial objective of knowing our God. For the successful living of our lives, we must know our God intimately. We must know who He is and how we can be in an active living relationship with Him. We examined the Scriptures to learn the facts that we are told about our God. We determined that there is a huge difference between knowing about our God through Religion and our knowing our God experientially, personally and intimately through Relationship.
