Becki Dudley is a children’s author who has written titles such as When You See a Rainbow, When You see a Cloud, and When You a Star, Noah’s Ark for Kids and more. She’s written and recently released God’s Story: From the Beginning to the Promised Return.
Becki is a mother as well as a grandmother of seven. She communicated that because of the things we’re seeing that are happening in the world, the most important thing we can do is to teach children the truth that’s given to us in God’s word.
The result is God’s Story, a collection of 125 illustrated stories from the Bible that takes a child from Genesis to Revelation. Her hope in writing this was to connect the dots of the “big picture” for children, to reinforce that these were real people and that they’re not fiction or fairy tales. In other words, God’s word is real history and children can learn from it.
During the two year process of writing the book she used the scarlet thread of redemption as a general outline beginning with the Garden of Eden and culminating on the Cross. She definitely wanted to include those stories that foreshadowed Christ’s ultimate sacrifice and what that means.
The book is illustrated with wonderful pictures by Bill Looney. Becki feels his pictures themselves tell stories and help to bring those in the book to life.
As the broadcast moves along you’ll hear why this isn’t just a “feel good” book, why there’s an emphasis on the holiness of God, what the “thread of hope” sections are all about, the colorful maps that allow you to compare the land in Bible times to the land today, some key points from Christ’s ministry, and much more including calls from listeners!
