I Was There... (ePub)

I Was There when Jesus was born describes in detail what it was like to have been a child in Bethlehem during the birth of baby Jesus. As narrated through the eyes of a little girl, Sarah, the story vividly describes Bethlehem to create a realistic image of what it was like to have lived during that time including side notes and illustrations on the most interesting facts. The story describes the homes, the peoples jobs, what they ate and the clothes they wore providing a new sense of how it felt to be in Bethlehem leading up to the birth in the manger on that starry night.

I Was There is the first book in a series on Biblical events directed at giving readers a child's view including expanded historical and geographical notes. Each book will have a different girl or boy narrator/character from the event time. These narrators will bring a fresh perspective into these events to provide a unique child's viewpoint on what took place at these well-known biblical stories. Each book will provide new facts that the children may not have known and make the events feel more real to them. Hopefully these books will encourage parents to read these stories with their children, Sunday school teachers to read to their classes, or older children to read alone with a goal of discovering new biblical details while being fun and interesting to both child and parent.

A portion of each book sold will be donated to St. Jude Research Children Research Hospital.
