The Gathering

The Gathering hides between the lines of Genesis 7:14-15; it is the epic backstory of the animal’s journey to Noah's Ark. Those familiar with the Bible will see countless symbols, themes, and events from scripture, metaphorically portrayed throughout. The story begins with a remnant, the chosen among several species, who are blessed with unique gifts for completing a great quest. Guided by their dreams, these animals sense they are on the edge of a great precipice. They heed a peculiar calling as they are drawn to a mysterious mountain, not fully aware of why they are going there. This story was written for parents to read to their children. It can also be used for Sunday school classes. Each chapter includes a colorful picture and commentary notes, spanning a total of 52 chapters. Sunday school classes can cover one chapter per week as part of a one year devotional. The commentary notes include a minimum of 7 scripture references for each chapter, with a grand total of 471 commentary notes and over 680 scripture references.
