Gospel Time Trekkers Series
What Are People Saying about this Series?
"A delightful series that immerses today's young people in the life and culture of Bible times and the Gospel story itself. Well-researched and engaging-with a conclusion that satisfies the reader's growing curiosity."
-Anne Eileen Heffernan, FSP, author of Bible for Young Catholics
“Shepherds to the Rescue is a great tale of friendship and heroism, offering young Catholic readers an interactive experience of popular Bible stories. Each story invites the young heart to engage Christ and His gospel in a personal way; it’s an introduction to lectio divina without your [young] reader even realizing it! The tales are great for both boys and girls—offering them face to face encounters with Scripture, framed in a way they will truly understand. For parents seeking a way to bring more Scripture and family discussion into their home—apart from Sunday Mass —this is a great tool and an engaging step forward.”
—Mark Hart, Executive Vice President, Life Teen; best-selling Catholic author; host of “Fired Up” on The Catholic Channel, SiriusXM 129
