This is written very well. The titles also were wonderful. Also, everything was written in a way that is very easy to understand. I feel that both children and adults can benefit from this. It is great how Scripture is referenced throughout the work. This piece of work was very well thought out and portrays much writing talent. It is very compelling and interesting. It is also a great tool to pull others closer to God with the easy to understand language that is used. - L. Stilwel When my dear, beautiful friend asked me to read her book of Bible stories I had no idea what a true pleasure it would be!! I was immediately caught by the originality of her work. Darlene has written each story with a lyrical bounce that brings new energy and excitement to all the Bible heroes I grew up with. The illustrations are bright and vibrant bringing the reader to where David fought Goliath and to where Jonah got spit out of the mouth of the whale. I found myself unable to put it down. These precious Bible stories will be a joy to read to all the littles in your life and will be treasured by them for the rest of their lives. - Pam Beiber I loved reading the Bible stories. The stories kept me interested and engaged in following along the Bible's storyline. I like how you had the introduction, to let the audience feel welcome to read the Bible stories. I learned new facts in the Bible. This encourages me to dig in the Word and expand on knowing the stories in the Bible. The pictures are very nice, and they give a peaceful presence for the stories. Your bibliography is nice because it is simple and precise. At the end of the book, it's really nice that you have a glossary that defines the terms that are less frequently spoken. Having this glossary will help readers expand on their vocabulary. - Mihaela B. Hi Darlene, I really liked your book. I have formatted many children's books, but very few of them talk about God or the Bible. Your book has an excellent quality in the illustrations, and everything fits very well with the background of the pages. On the other hand, it explains in a very simple way biblical matters that help to create and strengthen the relationship between children and God. Maybe I'm not objective, but I love books that seek to bring children closer to God. I think it is sowing very positive things in children that will help them become good people when they are adults. So maybe I'm not objective because I like your book too thematic. And I hope you can reach many children and families with it. - Daianav

Author Information

Growing up, Darlene always wanted to become a teacher. During summer vacation, she spent many days on the porch pretending to read and instruct a class of children. Her interests turned to accounting and she continued down that path as an occupation, practicing successfully for many years.Eventually, she got married and had a beautiful, precious daughter, Tonia. At the age of 41, Darlene succumbed to a debilitating illness and her days of crunching numbers came to a crashing halt. It was during this time of weakness and total dependence on God that she was gently led by the Holy Spirit to sit and to write. Rather surprised at the words that came so quickly and easily, Darlene knew she had found her true calling: teaching children the love of the Lord. Despite never having written anything but letters, essays at school, or memos at work, she quickly finished her first book. Not knowing what to do with it, it sat in a folder for sixteen years! Life changed again, and Darlene found herself in a quiet time where the Holy Spirit once more led her back to the folder of pages written so long ago and her publishing journey began. Children had always been a constant passion. Darlene taught Sunday School, was a Bible Camp kitchen helper and Camp counsellor. Her most treasured occupation was that of a Financial Controller for a School Division, making sure that monies were there to provide the best education for the children in various districts. She considered this a great privilege, and that is where the journey of her first book began, as an unwelcomed illness overtook her. Darlene has endured many difficult challenges but her hope is firm in God's good plans for each of us. She believes there are great things in store for you and for her. She knows this promise to be true: that in our weakness, God is strong. Darlene lives in Vernon, British Columbia with her Boston Terrier, Daisy, who is a beacon of light for everyone who meets her.
