Thank you for

accurate accounts of Bible stories that can be read to our children that speak the truth and not a television version made for a movie. I expected nothing less from you. May God Bless!

— Claudette Arnold Youth Pastor

dedication

This work is dedicated to a Bible study youth group, S.A.L.T. (SAVE A LIFE TODAY) that I taught several years ago. They informed me during a Bible study that they would like to read the Bible more but did not understand the Bible, and that inspired me to write this work.

acknowledgments

I would like to acknowledge my husband, Minister Alfred Charles Burton; he is the consummate advocate and supporter in whatever the Lord endeavors for me to do, and I love him for being a humble man of God.

To my daughter, Clarissa Louise Johnson, who attended the youth Bible study group (S.A.L.T.) that I taught. She was one of the youths that spoke a truth that inspired this work; Out the mouths of babes and nursing infants.You have perfected praise. (Matthew 21:16 NKJV).

To two of Gods’ angels and my spiritual parents, Pastor and Sister Calvin Arnold, who have always believed in me and encouraged me to be the best me I can be for the Lord.
