Detective Zack books

The first Detective Zack book grew out of a trip my family took and the question, “Can I believe what the Bible says about Noah's flood? Is there any scientific evidence to support it?” And of course, there is. The rest of the Detective Zack books address the same question: Can I believe what the Bible says?

My writing for kids grew out of a simple desire; to help them understand important things about God and the Bible that are confusing.
