Written by Martha Shrimpton, founder of Nimbus Collective, this book aims to help all ages to connect in a creative way as an individual, as a family and as a community, and also with God.

The WOW! series are creative, interactive, and practical books that offer innovative resources to explore stories and themes found in the Bible. They are designed to help you explore your faith with your family or as a group by delving imaginatively into stories and offering reflection time for both adults and children. This series encourages connection and conversation between adults and children/youth through the stories and characters, inspiring empathy for the children and a new way of thinking about these well-known stories for adults. Ideal to use at home or as a resource for church schools and churches, providing a multitude of activities and conversation starters for Sunday schools, intergenerational worship, religious education, and collective worship in schools.
