Summary

Hosts Mike Nawrocki and Sarah Parker talk with the married writing and illustrating team, Jack and Liz Hagler this week about their new books (and series), Patrick Wigglesworth's Bizarre Bible Adventures Over My Head and Trick Times. Patrick Wigglesworth’s Bizarre Bible Adventures is a series of hilarious comic journals for preteens. Readers will follow 10-year-old Patrick as he draws silly comics about his weird life. Just how weird is Patrick’s life? It’s so weird that Patrick gets yanked out of his room and into the Bible! In each book, Patrick meets a different Bible character who acts as a tour guide through a portion of the Bible. For example, in this first book, Patrick meets Moses, who leads him on a journey through biblical events from Genesis to Deuteronomy. In his journal, Patrick records all of his bizarre Bible adventures (BBAs for short). Most of the journal covers Patrick’s weird daily life entries with flashbacks to a relevant Bible adventure. Of course, this journal has to be kept secret, as he’s convinced everyone would think he was crazy! To be clear, Patrick’s journal does NOT tell the real Bible stories. It’s about his Bible adventures. This is not a Bible storybook but rather a creative, humorous kid adventure that also teaches preteens about the Bible. Jack Hagler is a pastor, teacher, executive coach, engineer, senior project manager, homeschool principal, and children’s book author with his wife of 38 years, Liz Hagler. Jack received his MDiv from Western Seminary and loves to help kids discover God’s goodness in every book of the Bible. Liz Hagler is the illustrator of The Bible Animal Storybook (Questar Publishing, 1990) and The Early Reader’s Bible (1991) and the coauthor (with her husband, Jack) and illustrator of Hooked on the Book: Patrick’s Adventures through the Bible (2021). Liz has a BA in art and English from the University of California at Davis. She studied graphic design at California College of Arts and Crafts and has taught many years of Sunday school as well as homeschooling her three children.Liz and Jack live in Salinas, CA, and have three children, two sons-in-law, and three grandchildren.
