Young readers will encounter the story of Scripture up close and personal along with life-changing truths they'll never forget. Written by Champ Thornton and Andrew Naselli and illustrated by Dana Thompson, this story, on one level, follows the adventures of tween siblings as they magically observe firsthand events in the Bible¿getting up close and personal with the Hero of heroes, the Serpent Slayer.
