Secret Journals of Bible-Time Kids series

Historical fiction - ages 8-12

Have you ever longed to know more about familiar Bible stories? When I was in fifth grade, I remember wishing I could peek into the minds of those Israelites kids, who had to suddenly leave home for a trek through the wilderness. The Biblical account in Exodus didn't feel like enough; I wanted details!

I could picture the parents herding children and flocks, but what were their sons and daughters thinking when their parents rushed off in search of a "promised land"? Didn't they miss home? Weren't they scared (or bored) out there among the bramble bushes and desert snakes? And how did they really feel about eating mannawiches every single day of their journey?

Secret Journals of Bible-Time Kids books bring key eras of Bible history to life.  Told through the eyes of kids who had hopes and dreams, disappointments and worries just like kids today.

Update: This series has been discontinued, but you may purchase signed copies of the following through this website: Abigail's Secret Journal, Rachel's Secret Journal, and Deborah's Secret Journal. Unfortunately, I've run out of Benjamin's Secret Journals. Email me with the title(s) you would like, and who the book will be going to, so I can sign it accordingly. Books are $5.95 each, plus $3.00 S/H.

 

 

 

What reviewers are saying:

"Bonnie Bruno does an excellent job of weaving the threads of Abigail's friendships, family, and growing faith throughout this outstanding book. Never allowing interest or excitement to wane, a delightful surprise awaits as Abigail writes some ending entries in her journal. " --Sally Chambers, Melbourne, FL (review of Abigail's Secret Journal)

"These books are really great for getting an idea of what it was like to live in biblical times. As I read Vol. 1: Abigail's Secret Journal, I could clearly picture the mixture of confusion and excitement the Israelites must have felt as they traveled from Egypt to the Promised Land. Vol. 2: Rachel's Secret Journal is a wonderful story set in biblical times when Solomon was building his temple. Rachel's father is a talented builder, her sister is a great seamstress, and Rachel learns to appreciate her talents as a gardener. She also learns to value friendship. My 12-year-old niece will love these books!"--Cherline ("Cherry") Pedrick, North Las Vegas, NV
