IMAGINE...
The ocean swirled around the boy and pulled him down with unrelenting power. Heavy water churned and tugged at his flailing body like unseen hands yanking him into the watery depths. The fight was finally over. Even though he’d tried to stand up to the enemy, the waves were about to swallow him whole.
 
The last thing ten-year-old Corey remembers (before the world as he knew it disappeared) was the searing pain in his head after falling while chasing his dog Molly into the woods. What happens next can't be explained as Corey wakes up and finds himself face-to-face with not one but two lions! 
 
Join Corey and experience the excitement. . .the wonder. . . the adventure. . .as the epic story of Noah’s ark comes to life.
 
Imagine. . .The Great Flood is the first release in an exciting, brand-new epic adventure series for kids ages 8 to 12 written by schoolteacher and missionary, Matt Koceich. The Imagine series brings the Bible to life for today's kids as they ponder what it would be like to live through a monumental biblical event.

Watch for Imagine...The Ten Plagues in March 2018!

“I couldn’t be more proud of Guild alum, Matt Koceich! He had a dream, persevered, and would not be denied. Enjoy this result, and may it be only the first of many.”
—Jerry Jenkins, Novelist & Biographer, Owner, The Jerry Jenkins Writers Guild

"Matt Koceich's Imagine. . .The Great Flood is some of the best biblical historical fiction I've read. The story takes us from modern-day America to Ancient Mesopotamia. . .and ties together neatly the link between faith in God and trust in people we love, regardless of apparent circumstance. I look forward to the next installment.”
—Kaci Hill, screenplay writer and Ted Dekker’s coauthor of Lunatic and Elyon

“Matt Koceich does a masterful job of lifting readers out of the boredom of everyday life, dropping them head-first into a fast-paced, action-packed world of Bible adventure.”
—Phil A. Smouse, author and illustrator of over fifty books for kids including Jesus Wants All of Me, the children’s adaptation of Oswald Chambers’
classic devotional, My Utmost for His Highest

“Imagine. . .The Great Flood is nonstop action in an epic Bible adventure! A well-known story like Noah’s Ark comes to life through the eyes of 10-year-old Corey Max with all the wonder of God’s creation and the evil forces that want to stop God’s plans. (Spoiler alert: God wins!) Boys and girls who like the I Survived books will love this action-packed tale.”
—Annie Tipton, author of the Diary of a Real Payne series, including the award-winning title True Story

"The distinct Christian worldview is refreshing in a genre that, at times, can be diluted in an attempt to draw a larger audience. Young readers who want a fun, clean read will be curious to see what comes next in the “Imagine” series."
— Carol Chapman Stertzer

This book is perfect for an older student, who is independently reading, and likes to finish books at one sitting, or an emerging reader who would engage in listening to several read aloud sessions.  Any child who enjoys reading action and adventure novels might find this book quite appealing. . . I appreciate this Bible adventure series, and highly recommend this fictional book for any child seeking a new twist on the Bible stories they already know.
