When Everything Changed
True Stories of Ordinary People and Extraordinary Moments
What would it have been like to be there? To sit beside the boy who shared his lunch… to walk through the crowd with Zacchaeus… to stand with Martha outside her brother's tomb… or to discover the empty tomb with Mary Magdalene?
These stories invite children, teens, families, churches, and anyone who wants to experience Scripture to step into the pages of the Bible through the eyes of the people who lived these extraordinary moments firsthand. Each story is written as a first-person account, allowing the biblical characters, and even one little lost sheep, to tell their own story while remaining faithful to the biblical account.
Whether you're reading together as a family, using them in children's ministry, exploring them in a classroom, or simply enjoying them yourself, my prayer is that these stories inspire you to look more closely at God's Word and discover that the same Jesus who changed lives then is still changing lives today.
Because every time someone encounters Jesus… everything changes.
