Kerri Rawson
In 2005 Kerri's father, Dennis Rader, confessed without remorse to the murders of ten people, including two children; acts that destroyed seven families and wrecked countless lives in the process. As the town of Wichita, Kansas celebrated the end of a thirty-one-year nightmare, another was just beginning for Kerri. The man she knew for the first 26 years of her life as a loving father, husband, and public servant turned out to be the vicious BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) serial killer that terrorized Wichita for over 30 years. This took Kerri to a very dark place, and many times the only light she could find was in her faith in a loving father in heaven.

Joanna Rivard
The tiny truths Illustrated Bible was created, written and illustrated by Tim Penner and Jo Rivard. Tim and Jo have been making kids’ content together since 2011 (though they’ve been friends for much longer). Over the years they have made interactive book apps, print books, games and crafts. They believe in the importance and power of story to shape us. The tiny truths Illustrated Bible is the culmination of many years of writing, scribbling, drawing and laughing together. Joanna and Tim both experienced a significant spiritual transformation over the course of, and as a result of creating this book. www.tinytruthsbible.com Joanna grew up in Nigeria and England and studied French at Oxford University. She has a PhD in French existentialism from the University of Michigan but (given the choice) prefers writing children’s stories. She lives in Toronto with her husband and two children who refuse to share her accent. Tim is an animation director, illustrator and writer who lives in Toronto. Before art and film school he picked up a degree in theology just in case the opportunity to bring it all together and make a children’s Bible ever presented itself.
