stories you can trust

A Way Through the Sea was Robert Elmer's first novel.

How can you choose a book that will always encourage you and your family? Since my first historical fiction story came out in 1992, thousands have enjoyed the adventures. I'm honored! They're full of history, action... and biblical faith. And today, a new generation of readers is discovering The Young Underground, Adventures Down Under, Promise of Zion, Life Behind the Wall... and much more!

Whether it's historical fiction, lighthearted action, sci-fi, devotional classics, or even just a good read for Mom and Dad, my goal is that you and your children (or grandchildren) will find hope, excellence, and adventure in these books—even as you're challenged in your faith. As the Word says, "let your mind dwell on these things." (Phil. 4:8) That is my commitment to you. ~Robert Elmer
