About the Author
To our grandson, Leo,
all generations of nieces and nephews,
and to all who travel this Bible Journey
This Bible Journey has reached
Revelation.
And the goal was to finish at that
destination.
My family shared both joy and
frustration,
so they should all share in this
dedication:
My loving husband, Maynard,
and my dedicated sister, Jeannie,
both star witnesses
to my triumphs and challenges;
also our daughters, Lori and Shari,
together with brothers, Stan and Cliff,
all who've been my supporting witnesses.
Foreword
Bible Journey in Song, Rhyme, and Verse is the culmination of considerable creative efforts spanning nearly thirty-three years of the life of the author. Rather than forcing her words onto traditional melodies, she uses the tunes as a natural backdrop for her message. The informative lyrics flow easily with the notes, and the accents fall in comfortable places for singing.
Her desire to introduce each book of the Bible to the young is admirable. Her attention to detail and the book's organized structure make it easy for children to learn and teachers to teach. Use it with children's choirs, Sunday school classes, or even for a fun activity with your adult Bible study group.
—Norma Jean Luckey

The cover
Pictured is the Bible of the writer's grandfather. It is the Authorized King James Version, the Oxford Self-Pronouncing Bible, New York, Oxford University Press (undated, circa 1940s). It has also been a study Bible of the writer and was one of the sources consulted for song content in this collection. This Bible is also the source of the map: Plate 3—The Promised Land showing the settlement of the twelve tribes.
The manuscript excerpt on the cover is from flutetunes.com; used by permission.
Other sources consulted
New Believer's Bible, New Living Translation, Tyndale House Publishers, 1996, Wheaton, Illinois. An additional source, influencing words to the song tunes.
New King James Version Holy Bible, Thomas Nelson, Inc., Nashville, 1982. Used by Permission. All rights reserved. The Memory Gems were taken from this translation.
The Penguin Rhyming Dictionary, Rosalind Fergusson. The Penguin Group: Penguin Books, Ltd., London, 1985.
Websites hymnary.org and pdinfo.com were most frequently consulted to verify tunes in public domain.
Special thanks
To God for inspiring all who authored the books of the Bible, for without them, this Bible Journey would not have been possible.
To my husband, Maynard, who helped with copy machine needs and endured avalanches of paper and a wife for a year, who was quite disconnected from nearly anything not associated with the production of the Bible Journey.
To so many for their assistance
