David — Book One
Book One · David

Chapter 1: Danger!

The wind hadn’t stopped blowing for five days. This wasn’t unusual, but it did make staying warm at night hard. Summer had arrived in Bethlehem, and the days were hot. But the nights were bitter cold.

Twelve-year-old David retrieved a log and added it to the fire. Pulling his woolen cloak tight, he sat, leaning against an olive tree. Most shepherds complained about the lonely days and nights with only their sheep for company. But David lived for these moments.

It was in these moments, out in nature, where he could most clearly hear the voice of his Maker—it was almost as if he had his own audience with God.

Miriam — Book Two
Book Two · Miriam

Chapter 1: Slaves No More!

Miriam looked at the terrified faces of her countrymen. A vast expanse of nearly two million people stretched for miles. Every Hebrew man, woman, and child on the planet was gathered in this place, at the edge of the Red Sea. And almost every one of them believed all was lost.

Outside of a mammoth miracle, every Hebrew would die today.

Adam — Book Three
Book Three · Adam

Prologue: Creation

A lump of red earthen clay was placed upon a blanket of lush emerald-green grass. The Sculptor kneeled over it, working with a master’s skill, carving and shaving the clay, molding it into the perfect shape. The Sculptor’s Son stood behind His Father, mesmerized by the scene.

“This is different from the others,” the Son gasped.

“It is,” the Father laughed happily as His hands continued to mold and shape the clay.

“This changes everything,” the Son was breathless at the thought.

Rahab — Book Four
Book Four · Rahab

Chapter 1: The Notice

Fourteen-year-old Rahab woke to her mother coughing.

Not a polite cough. Not the kind you could blame on smoke from the hearth and ignore. This cough clawed its way out of her mother’s chest like it was pulling something loose inside her.

Their home, which doubled as an inn, was built into Jericho’s wall.

An adaptation of Joshua 2 & 6

Benaiah — Book Five
Book Five · Benaiah

Chapter 1: Giant Killer

A mammoth spear sliced through the air, a deadly blur hurtling toward Benaiah’s chest. His heart thundered in his ears, drowning out the world. In the blink of an eye, he cleared his mind as his grandfather had taught him.

Time seemed to slow, as Benaiah’s eyes locked onto the fast-approaching spearhead, mere inches from stabbing him. With a dancer’s grace, he twisted his body sideways.

He had cheated death, for now.

Zechariah — Book Six
Book Six · Zechariah

Chapter 1: At the Temple Gate

The poor widow never saw the hand coming.

Zachariah did. He had been watching.

She was small and bent with age, clutching two thin coins she had saved for the Temple treasury as she shuffled toward the gate. Pilgrims streamed past her on both sides. Doves fluttered overhead. The sun hammered the white stone of Jerusalem so hard it nearly hurt to look.

And Rome stood at the entrance.

Who God Says You Are

You are not a side character.

Every kid you are about to read about? They were ordinary. Just like you. None of them woke up one morning feeling like a hero. God called them by name, and so they became one. He calls you the same way.

✦

You are known. By name. Right now. Just as you are.

✦

You are loved before you have done one thing. Belonging comes first.

✦

You are brave, even when you don't feel brave. Especially then.

✦

You are sent. The same God who used them is using you.
