About the author

Gerard found his unlikely foray into authorship rooted in a simple family need - the desire for engaging, faith-based children's literature. Due to a lack of existing Christian books on the market, he undertook the challenge of creating books that would cultivate his family's Christian values in an engaging way.

The inception of his writing journey was solely to enrich his family's reading experience. Little did he know, this personal endeavor would strike a chord with numerous other families facing a similar challenge, resulting in an overnight sensation on Amazon.

Each of Gerard's stories beautifully blends essential Christian teachings with captivating narratives, creating a series of books that both enlighten and entertain. His commitment to his family and faith is reflected in every page, resonating with families around the world who were also seeking meaningful Christian children's literature. Today, his books continue to touch lives and fill home libraries, serving as a beacon of faith-based storytelling.

A read to keep you engaged

I loved this. The stories were simple but easy to understand the meaning and message. No matter your age, it’s a great book for anyone that is either getting into the Bible or someone who needs a refresher.
The stories inside this book is short and sweet so it keeps kids’ attention on it without being too much. It’s also written in a way that makes it easy to soak up and not in an old English language that makes it hard to read.
I got this for my 7-year-old so I can read it to him when I need him to slow down. It’s great for his wildness but I know he’s getting critical Bible knowledge. I love that it makes him ask questions and how much I can see his attitude and personality change for the better.
Although this is a great way to get kids and teen closer to God and to get familiar with the Bible, but this would also work great for youth groups and even bible study. I love the versatile use of this.
So, when I say I’m pleased with this, it’s not just an understatement. I highly recommend this to anyone who believes in Christianity and anyone who wants their kids or grandkids (or even yourself) more Bible knowledge.

I chose this book for my daughter's book club! The girls love it! They decided to listen to is as a nighttime story during the sleep over! Each Bible story presents itself as in chapters quick short enough stories to keep even someone with ADHD engaged! Bible stories for Modern teens is not just for teens, anyone knowing of the birds and bees will learn from this! Do to the first chapter with Mary I would recommend this for at least 13 and up or anyone that has had the talk! I do not find it offensive or anything like that just cautious to what you may or may not want your child exposed to! With that said you could allow younger children to hear this and skip the first chapter if you find it necessary. This was not an issue for the girls ages 12 through 14 that was present for the hearing. There are great lessons told in these short stories that many could learn from, refresh, or just enjoy in your biblical journey!

An informative, inspirational read for teens that is well-paced and easy to follow. It's an engaging novel for those who struggle to understand the messages of the Bible or stay focused. Each chapter follows a specific scripture from the Bible & a short, straight-to-the-point overview of the story. It teaches a meaningful lesson about Jesus, his teachings, & how we can apply them to our everyday lives. The teenage years are crucial times when you discover who you are & who you want to be. Bible Stories for Modern Teens is a relatable novel that guides you through many situations we often are thrust into & the importance of putting our trust in God, even when times are difficult.

Bible stories

I love how this author has taken bible stories and broken them down that make it much easier to understand. I also love the fact that after each story the author also explains how the stories are relevant to society today and makes it easier for people and young adults to understand. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that might need a little more clarification on some of the stories in the bible.

[Kayce · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book has 23 stories from the new testament and 27 from the old testament. The writer made the stories short, no more than two pages each, and relatable to today's world. I would recommend this book to someone that is new to faith or doesn't have a lot of time to dive deep into the Bible. Was a great read and would definitely recommend!

Bible stories

Good Bible book for teens. Simplified to where teens can easily understand/comprehend the stories of the Bible. Very enjoyable and not very long to where they will lose interest.

This book is a great way for teenagers and young kids to understand the bible. It breaks it all down to where you can easily read and understand the bible

[Michelle Boyer · Rating 3 out of 5]

I felt that this "read younger" than the average teenager and that at some moments because of the simplicity of the stories, it was just a little more "kid" than "teen."
