New Testament Fiction
Jotham’s Journey Series
A series of eleven adventures that take kids and families through the entire New Testament — real people and events set in fictional stories. Jotham starts it all at age ten when he runs away from home . . . straight into the arms of Judea’s arch enemy. He ends up in Bethlehem one night just in time to witness a special birth. Along the way he meets the real people of the Christmas story and learns what it means when they say “The Messiah is coming!”
Ten books and thirty years later, Jotham’s grandson Enoch completes the series when his “punishment” for bad behavior is to accompany the apostle Paul on his third missionary journey. Like his Grandpa, he meets and learns from the real people of the Gospels and epistles.
Whether they’re read aloud as a family or just by a kid curled up under a window, the books of the Jotham’s Journey series teach kids what it was like to live, witness, and experience the miraculous events of the New Testament.

Contemporary Fiction
Mike Danford Adventure Series
Contemporary adventures of a Christian teen and his friends who just want to be high school students, but keep running into situations and bad-guys that put them in peril.
Seventeen-year-old Mike and his best friend Josh Roberts start out as two young men who want to build a submarine. Sure, they believe in God, but what’s that got to do with living their adventures? As they’re constantly thrown into situations that threaten their city, their country, their planet, and always their lives, their understanding of God, and faith in his providence, grows. Oh yeah, they also invent and build some pretty cool machines in the process.
Along the way they meet and involve a new friend during every adventure, and learn that there a many different kinds of people in the world, all who need the love and mercy of God.
With a light-handed touch on the religious themes, and plenty of action and adventure, the Mike Danford series is a hit with kids from 8 to . . . well, actually, we get a lot of fan mail from adults too!

What Our Readers Say
From Amazon and Website Reviews
“I wish I was half as cool as Mike (Danford) and his friends when I was 17! Love how traditional family values are threaded throughout the story, and Mike and his friends act extremely respectful to the adults and truly care for each other.”
“My children absolutely love (the Jotham) series . . . Very entertaining and always a good lesson to learn. Good for all ages. My 18 year old down to my 1 year old all love our nightly reads of series before Christmas. It’s one of our best traditions! Parts of the story literally gave me goosebumps and made me tear up!”
“These books make you think and ponder truth about scripture, God, and yourself. Even after reading these books many years over, the story still leaves us at the end feeling like all wrongs will someday be made right.”
