Thy kingdom come

Thy Kingdom Come: A Prayer of Victory is the title of a Christian evangelical book by Nicholas R. Carter that focuses on the theme of the Kingdom of God throughout the Bible.

The book presents a systematic overview of the Biblical timeline correlating major events to the advancement of the Kingdom of God. The intent is to present a new perspective on Bible interpretation and to present salvation in Jesus Christ through a slightly different lens than traditional Western church culture does.

By re-examining the Bible with new perspectives, a movement called the Emerging Church is reshaping traditional doctrines and reaching the younger generation within Western culture. The author, Nicholas Carter, is among this young generation. As a young entreprenuer and lay minister, Carter wrote the book to convey his kingdom-focused perspective on Christianity to his peers, bringing the voice of the Generation X into the theological arena.
