I first decided to write my book of Bible stories with the Grandma telling the stories to her grandchildren when I realized that many grandparents found themselves responsible for the Christian and spiritual training of their grandchildren. A writing tutor encouraged me to move ahead with it. I wanted to write the book in simple language that children could understand. The books I had had to use with my own children had many difficult words in them. If I was in doubt about the reading level of any word, I would look it up in the Children's Writers Word Book.
