A series of four illustrated children's books covering the stories of the Old Testament will be available in the Spring of 2018 (amazon.com/author/brettblair). Baker Publishing will release the first four as a box set:

In addition to the M.Div., Brett has an M.A. and B.A. in New Testament Literature, he worked in Radio and TV in the Memphis market. While serving in a rural church in Tennessee during the advent of the internet in the 90s, Brett realized this medium could be a powerful tool to resource pastors in ways never before possible. Since then Sermons.com has broadened its offerings to include multimedia, stewardship, and children's resources. Brett is currently developing a social networking site to connect congregations with their pastors called Pastor.com due to launch in the summer of 2018.
Brett was born in Memphis TN and now lives in Sarasota FL with his Wife Cyndi. They have three children: Hannah, a graduate of the Ringling School of Art and Design, Brett Jr. (15) and Nathan (13), both tennis players being coached by Julien Link (youtube.com/brettcblair).
