Before they were legends, they were kids.

I Changed the World

A cinematic literary adventure for tweens.

I Changed the World is a six-book cinematic series for tweens that turns real lives from the Bible into immersive adventures. Each book is a full hardcover novel with cinematic art on every page, a Stranger thread that runs from Eden to Patmos, and a 30-week curriculum that reads as a year of formation, not a Sunday-school worksheet.

"This story is pure adventure. Every chapter ends with a cliffhanger and my daughter begged me to continue every night. Almost every page has at least one picture. Great writing and material!"

— T Horner · verified Amazon · about David

"My 12-year-old daughter read this out loud to my 8-year-old son. Both loved every second of it. This series is doing a brilliant job of making these characters and stories come to life. We loved David and Miriam is even better."
