The purpose of this book is to awaken within the hearts of children a love for God's holy word. It provides pictures that will bring to life God's story of creation at a young age. The poetic verse is intended to give a unique approach for remembering the story of Adam and Eve while carrying with it a love for God's fulfilled promises. The long-term goal here is to evoke an enthusiasm for incorporating God's word into the life of the reader as he/she grows into adulthood. Theresa Bates has a BA from St. Mary-of-the-Woods College with minors in both English and Theology. She has an MPA from IUPUI with focus on Urban Policy Management. She has also taken a variety of courses in engineering and computer technology. She is currently a member of Presentation Ministries out of Cincinnati OH. She has studied scripture in-depth with Fr. Al Lauer, founder of Presentation Ministries. She has, for 25 years, taught scripture to members of home-based communities, given seminars at the bible institutes held at Xavier University in Cincinnati OH, taught classes for the Guadalupe Bible College, and given seminars with the discipleship program all of which are offered through Presentation Ministries. One of Theresa's favorite experiences has been teaching children at almost every elementary grade level. She has found the simplicity of children to provide numerous opportunities for sharing various disciplines especially regarding scripture. In her words: "children are an open book which has yet to be written. To feed them God's Word is one of the most precious gifts given her by the Holy Spirit."
