Making the Bible Come Alive for Kids

How do you capture a young person’s imagination so they get interested in the Bible? Jack and Liz had that same question. Their answer was to create a character named Patrick. Their imagination went wild when they wondered what might happen if a 10-year old kid found himself yanked into his Bible? Hear about Patrick Wigglesworth’s Bizarre Bible Adventures on Chris Fabry Live.

Jack and Liz Hagler

Ever since Jack Hagler was little, he’s loved to write and communicate. Over the years he has been able to use those skills in a variety of venues as a pastor, teacher, executive coach, engineer, senior project manager, homeschool principal, and children’s book author. While studying for his MDiv at Western Seminary, Jack’s first class was a survey of the Old Testament. It was as if God’s plan for the whole Bible was opened up to him. Since then it has been his passion to help kids discover God’s goodness and plan for their lives in every book of the Bible. And to top it all off, he gets to do that with his wife of 38 years, Liz. She is a wonderful illustrator and provides the creative spark as they write together. Their first book was Hooked on the Book: Patrick’s Adventures Through the Books of the Bible. Their newest work is a graphic novel series for kids, Patrick Wigglesworth’s Bizarre Bible Adventure.

Liz Hagler is the illustrator of The Bible Animal Storybook and The Early Reader’s Bible and the coauthor (with her husband, Jack) and illustrator of Hooked on the Book: Patrick’s Adventures Through the Bible. Liz has a BA in art and English from the University of California at Davis.
