The Author

Gavin Simpson

Missionary · Church Elder · Author

Every book I write comes from something I have seen with my own eyes: a God who still moves, still heals, and still keeps every promise He makes.

For over fifteen years I have carried the gospel across India, Nepal, Cuba, Africa, and Asia. I have baptized hundreds of new believers, helped plant churches in villages that had none, and watched clean-water wells rise out of dry ground in communities that had gone without.

“Children deserve to meet the God I have seen move across four continents — not a watered-down cartoon of Him.”

Why these books

Too many children's Bibles shrink the greatest stories ever told into a few soft sentences and a cartoon. I wanted the opposite — the real stories, with real tension and real stakes, told with the craft of a novel and illustrated with the weight of cinema. Stories a twelve-year-old would choose over a video game, and a whole family would want to read together.

Written for every language

From the beginning, these books were never meant for English readers alone. Every major title is published in both English and Spanish, with the Spanish editions using the Reina-Valera 1960 — the translation most loved across Latin America and Cuba, where so much of our ministry lives. A child in Havana should be able to hold the very same story as a child in Virginia.

Eleventh Hour Laborers

Ink and Purpose Studios exists to fund the work of Eleventh Hour Laborers — our ministry of church planting, clean water, and pastor training across four continents. Every book sold helps send the gospel further. When you buy one of these stories for a child you love, you are also helping put one into the hands of a child who could never afford it.
