Saul, David, and Solomon

The hearts of the first three kings of Israel affected the lives of God's people and the nation.

• Saul had no love for God. The nation was divided, and the people fought each other.
• David loved God with all his heart. Glops watched him lead the people into a united Israel. God promised to bring the Savior of the world from David's family line.
• Solomon was very wise but his loyalty to God was half-hearted. The united Israel began to divide.

What happened in the lives of these men?

What did the eavesdropping, practically invisible glops see and hear?

In The Story of Glops, fictional, shapeshifting glops help the reader stay engaged by voicing the concerns and feelings that are invoked by true Bible stories. They elaborate on important historical facts and traditions. Chief messages throughout the series are that our Father God wants us to know and love Him, He always keeps His promises, He always answers our prayers, and His plans are infinitely better than our own.

All books in the series strike the perfect balance between reality and fantasy in the genre of children's literature. The writing style and photos are appropriate for children giving them opportunities to imagine how life was in Biblical times. There is depth to these stories, but the author presents them in a way that captures the imagination of anyone of any age who reads them.

The stories in the Glops series are accurate, accessible, and appropriate. The reading level is good for interested adults to read to younger children and for middle graders, teens & young adults to read for themselves. These books make meaningful additions to any reading list and bookshelf. They may also be used in homeschooling.
