"How can I get rid of these people before they start a war?" King Balak asked himself. God's people, the Israelites, rested in the country of Moab after forty years of wandering. They had won many battles against other nations.

Balak, the king of Moab and Midian, hired the prophet, Balaam, to curse Israel so the immigrants would go away. Some imaginary glops became friends with the prophet's donkey. Together with Balaam, they went to the king.

Amazing events took place. How did God step in to get Balaam do what God wanted?

The Story of Glops Series

Fictional, chameleon-like glops help readers stay engaged by voicing concerns and feelings 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.

This series strikes the perfect balance between reality and fantasy in the genres of literature for children and youth. The writing style, photos, and illustrations are appropriate and help readers 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.
