Author Biography

Bill Brooks lives in Camp Hill, PA with his wife of nine years and their two beautiful children Sienna and David. He has a BA in art from Millersville University. Bill has been attending the Greater Harrisburg Church of Christ since it was planted in 1998. He serves there in the music ministry where he leads songs, sings bass, and plays guitar. He is also currently serving a term on the board. When he started writing this book he thought he was writing a song. It was written in response to the song "Jesus Christ Is Born" which he had written the year before in 2010. It was supposed to be three verses and a chorus and be done. Instead, it turned into 37 verses and no chorus. Since, it was too long to sing, Bill made it into a children's book. The story and the song were performed as a nativity play at his church in 2011. He then started work on the illustrations in order to complete the book. Eight months later, He is a published author. Bill owes this oppotunity to Amazon's Create Space. He never thought that this is how God would use him. Stay tuned for more books in the future. His next subject will be the crucifixion.
