The Witness Series
The Bible tells you what happened. These books show you what it felt like.
Looking at familiar Bible stories through a fresh lens can reinvigorate our faith. That’s what The Witness Series accomplishes. Each book in this middle-grade historical fiction series places a young protagonist inside a familiar Bible story, told through Scripturally faithful imagination. The feelings, the tension, the wonder: all of it comes alive through the eyes of a child who could have been there. Nothing contradicts the biblical account. Everything deepens it.
These are the stories your kids already know. They won't be able to put them down anyway.

What's Inside The Witness Series
Every story is carefully built around the Biblical account. Nothing contradicts the text. The series adds a layer of imaginative possibility that draws young readers deeper into the story, never away from it.
Each protagonist is a young person navigating real fear, real doubt, and real wonder. Your child sees themselves in the story, which means the spiritual truths land differently.
Short chapters, black and white illustrations, and a fourth to sixth grade reading level make these books accessible to kids who find longer or harder books frustrating. The emotional depth keeps older readers engaged too.
These aren't just good stories. They send readers back to Scripture with fresh eyes and deeper questions. That's the kind of reading that builds faith.
Why Choose The Witness Series Readers?
Sometimes when we read the Bible, it can feel like we’re on the outside looking in. What if we could actually enter the story and become part of the action? Historical fiction can take you on this kind of imaginative journey, helping you feel what the characters may have felt, prodding you to ask deeper questions than you ever considered before.
- Why did the character say or do that?
- What would I have done in that situation?
- Wow! Now I see that God really did something amazing here.
That's the kind of reading that sticks.
