How much does Father Tomás really know? He cares for an abandoned church in the mountains of Nicaragua—and watches over Verbum Aeternum, the ancient Bible that changes Mateo’s life. He is the one who brings Mateo and the mysterious book together. Coincidence? As Mateo’s journeys continue, that becomes harder to believe. Today’s Behind the Story introduces Father Tomás—priest, teacher, friend... and perhaps something more. 👉 Who Is Father Tomás? https://www.steverhartwigauthor.com/blog #ChristianMiddleGrade #BiblicalFiction #ChristianFiction #KidsAdventureBooks

I was honored to discover that Mateo and the Secrets of the Eternal Word was selected as a Daily Finds Featured Title on July 27. Seeing the book featured alongside bestselling Christian authors Ted Dekker & Bill Bright and award-winning biblical fiction author Mesu Andrews was an unexpected encouragement. Every author hopes their work will find readers. Moments like this remind me that Mateo is beginning to do just that.
