One of the realities of a writer’s life is that our books don’t last forever. It has been said that the average shelf life of a book is around two years, so it’s every writer’s challenge to keep coming up with new ideas and to not waste time lamenting past projects that are no longer in print.
I’ve written devotionals for families; teacher’s object talk books; a family guide to computing back in the early days of the Internet; a Bible study guide that was a finalist for the Gold Medallion Book Award; and a series of historical fiction for middlers. Each has been unique and special, and a joy to write.
Here are four selected titles that are available either in your local bookstore or online. (If they’re out of stock, please ask by ISBN number and they’ll gladly order a copy for you.) Signed copies of Weird & Wacky, Strange & Slimy and When God Steps In: Stories of Everyday Grace are available through this website. Simply leave me a note in the text box at Paypal, indicating the name of the person who will be receiving the book so I can personalize it. I generally ship within 2-3 business days.

Weird & Wacky, Strange & Slimy
Standard Publishing
ISBN: 0784718652
The world God made is full of weird, strange, slimy, creepy, crawly creatures . . . and kids love it! This book highlights the uniqueness of these critters and why God made them the way he did. Kids will love the amazing animal tales about slimy slugs, leaping lizards, and spiders the size of a dinner plate. It’s unlikely that ‘tweens will ever bump into any of these unusual plants, insects, and oddball critters anytime soon, so I’ve gathered nearly 120 of them in this chunky 256-page devotional as a showcase of God’s amazing world.
Written in a lively format, each reading will leave kids 9-12 guessing. Click image below to visit the book site:

(70 retold Bible stories for ages 4-8)
ISBN:078471908X
A CBA bestseller, this collection of retold Bible stories has introduced countless children ages 4-7 to the Word of God in a comfortable, easy-to-read format. It has sold well over a half million copies, and continues to entertain and enlighten young readers since its first printing in 1994.
What parents are saying about The Young Reader’s Bible:
“This is great for my 1st grader who is just starting to read. He loves it we use the devotional that goes with the bible. It makes it come to life for him.” ~Michelle Neal
“We appreciate three things about this Bible. (1) The illustrations are not silly or too cartoonish. (2) The text is decent, meaning it is easy to read but not too far removed from the Word of God. (3) A significant scope of stories are included, not just the same old Noah's Ark and Jonah and the whale. You will get a sample of everything from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to the end of the New Testament era, including a very decent treatment of such Bible topics as creation and the crucifixion of Jesus (short but sober). This is no small challenge given the format of 70 stories (three double-sided pages each), but well done.” ~Joseph Koheleth
“I can't say enough about this Young Reader's Bible. Laura has learned to love reading because of it. To me, that is a miracle because she was in danger of being held back before. These are familiar stories so they draw a child in. Even kids who have not gone to Sunday school before will find these stories exciting, and will want to read on. And the pictures are a BONUS.” ~Jennifer, Leesburg, VA
“This Bible is perfect for teaching in any children's ministry. The illustrations are bold and the writing is not dumbed down for small children. It also includes some stories that are hard to find in children's Bible picture books. It's a great addition to any children's library.”
~Barbara L. Courter
