A Creative Workshop
We wanted fresh, innovative ideas and artwork. We wanted children to remember what they read, for it to have an impact on their lives. And we wanted children’s books that didn’t sanitize the biblical stories. We all want our children to have an innocent context in which to grow but we don’t want them to missunderstand. There are consequences to our actions. And YES! Children can handle heavy lessons. Anyone who has taken their kids to see the Lion King or Brave know their capacity for learning. So why carve these elements out of our biblical stories. In Daniel the king’s men are thrown into the lion’s den because of their conniving behavior. Children’s books leave this out. In Noah’s story, as the rains come pouring down, the people outside the boat are never mentioned. Without these powerful elements the moral is removed: The consequences of sin.
The CTC Workshop Crew
We are a dedicated small group of writers and artist who believe that children need fresh new resources to experience their life in God. Those resources need to meet them on today’s street – where a cultural interchange of philosophies and world views compete to shape their minds. Much of the old Christian literature cannot penetrate this culture. Enter the CTCW! In 2019 we will publish the four-book series “The Creator’s Toy Chest.” In addition to the books, Children’s Worship Bulletins will be available for Sunday services that employ the same fantastic look, well drawn biblical characters and thoughtful games for Sunday School and worship services.
Our Principal Artist: James Koenig is a character and creature design artist with 10 years’ experience as a professional artist and an Art Director, working with clients all across the globe. He resides in sunny Arizona with his wife. He is a big Disney Pixar fan. You can find James at www.freelancefridge.com
About Our Beliefs
We confess belief in the triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This confession embraces the biblical witness to God’s activity in creation, encompasses his gracious self-involvement in the dramas of history, and anticipates the consummation of God’s reign.
We hold that Scripture is the primary source and criterion for Christian doctrine. Through Scripture the living Christ meets us in the experience of redeeming grace. We are convinced that Jesus Christ is the living Word of God in our midst whom we trust in life and death.
We affirm that God reaches out to the repentant believer in justifying grace with accepting and pardoning love. We believe a decisive change in the human heart can and does occur under the prompting of grace and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
In justification we are, through faith, forgiven our sin and restored to God’s favor. This righting of relationships by God through Christ calls forth our faith and trust as we experience regeneration, by which we are made new creatures in Christ.

Discover the magnificent story of how God created the world. Join the prophet Daniel in the lions’ den as he shows that obedience to God must come before obedience to anyone else—even a king. Experience the young shepherd David on the field of battle as he shows all of Israel what it means to trust in the Lord. And, be with Noah as he ignores the doubts of others to remain faithful to God—and ultimately show how God is faithful until the end.
