Who Is Miguel? Every adventure story needs extraordinary moments. But it also needs ordinary ones. Mateo may have an ancient Bible waiting for him inside an abandoned church. He may find himself witnessing events from Bible history. But he's still a twelve-year-old boy. And every twelve-year-old boy needs a friend. That's Miguel. He began as Mateo's best friend—the boy who goes to school with him, laughs with him, and knows him simply as Mateo. But as Mateo's world became more extraordinary, Miguel began asking questions. Eventually, he found himself standing beside Mateo and Father Tomás in front of Verbum Aeternum. And Verbum had something to say about their friendship: “Therefore, comfort one another and build each other up, just as you are already doing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11 LLV 📖 Today’s Behind the Story is about the friend who helps keep Mateo connected to ordinary life—even when Mateo's life becomes anything but ordinary. 👉 Read Who Is Miguel? steverhartwigauthor.com/blog #ChristianMiddleGrade #BiblicalFiction #ChristianFiction #KidsAdventureBooks
