Would you rather be a famous hunter or a lowly shepherd? Jered thinks he knows the answer to that question when the mighty hunter Nimrod comes to his rescue. But is Nimrod the hero Jered thinks he is? And is Nimrod right when he claims the tower will make their people famous?
Follow the adventures of Jered and his friends as they encounter dangerous creatures, face perilous storms, and learn the importance of obedience to God during a unique period of biblical history.
The Tower tells the account of the Tower of Babel from the perspective of three children. When the mighty hunter Nimrod saves the children from a monster attack, Jered wants to be like him. But is Nimrod really the hero Jered thinks he is? After a conversation with his ancestor Shem, Jered wonders if their people are being disobedient to God. If they are, what judgment might God bring? Join Jered and his friends as they battle dangerous creatures, face perilous storms, and learn to rely on God when hope seems lost.
Enjoy this reading of The Tower by Evonne Krell...
Evonne Krell grew up on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. She has written and edited Sunday school and homeschool Bible curricula, VBS materials, and children’s books for Answers in Genesis for over six years. Before devoting her attention to full-time writing, she taught private piano lessons and spent a year teaching children with a revival ministry in churches across the US. Her award-winning story “The Red Priest” about Antonio Vivaldi was published in Clubhouse magazine in 2010. Evonne currently lives in Northern Kentucky, where she enjoys ice hockey, martial arts, and teaching her third-grade Sunday school class.
Evonne wants readers to experience a unique period in biblical history that is often overlooked. The events at the tower of Babel give valuable lessons about God’s judgment and mercy and the origin of the nations and languages we have today. The Bible says that we are all “one blood.” We are all descendants of Noah’s family, who separated into different language groups and scattered around the world. I hope people understand that there is only one race, the human race, which Jesus came to save.
Interesting facts: Evonne is a dual citizen of Canada and the United States of America. She has been friends with the book’s illustrator since they were four years old.
