About the Author

N. A. Hart grew up in Toronto, Canada and Brisbane, Australia, but wound up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Family and cheap real estate drove her to it. She has been telling Bible stories to kids and teenagers for over twenty years. The Old Testament is her favorite because it's full of real people who are mixed bags of failure and faithfulness, fear and trust-just like she is.
