About the Author

FOREWORD

My husband Jack was an amazing Bible teacher. He had a gift of making complex topics easy to understand, and communicated God's heart for His people in ways that profoundly influenced his audience. One of Jack's most popular series has been his Children's Stories of the Bible for Adults, Volume I. Shortly after publishing these Old Testament stories, we were called to be missionaries in Mexico. (You can read the whole story on our About page on .) From the very beginning, our ministry focused on showing that the God we serve is real, that He hears our prayers and answers them. We asked the Lord only to provide for our needs and the needs of those we served. And He provided abundantly. He is faithful! From Mexico, Jack published two other books, over 8,000 Bible Q&A posts, and over 1,000 Bible Study articles at gracethru- . He taught and wrote prolifically, while we provided food, housing, medical care, and education for the poor. Jack was putting

FOREWORD

the finishing touches on Volume II, the New Testament stories, when he passed away in October 2015.

In the two years since the love of my life went to his eternal home, the Lord continues to prove faithful. Jack's legacy lives on in his teachings on the site, and our outreaches continue to grow. We are able to do more to help those in need now than ever before. As always, we offer all of Jack's teachings free of charge. And we bless those in need with what we're given.

Now, I am so blessed to present to you Jack's teachings on the chil- dren's stories in the Bible. In this new book, including Volumes I and II--the Old Testament and New Testament--you'll discover how the language, customs and culture of biblical times will help you grow in a more mature understanding of these timeless chil- dren's stories. I'm excited for you! The details and symbolism of these stories are about to make the Word of God come alive in your heart. Prepare to have your faith strengthened as you grow closer to the Lord.

May the Lord richly bless you, Samantha Kelley
